    Roomtones Quiet Hotels At Night Vol.2 Play Track 63 sounds included, 238 mins total $35

    “Quiet Hotels At Night Vol. 2” is the second part of our most popular library “Quiet Hotels At Night”.  Comprised of the best pieces of several years of recordings. Imagine you are in a game or a security guard who is doing his regular tour. You find yourself in different corridors, rooms, and stairwells, even in the kitchen of a restaurant late at night. Through the recordings, you can experience a wide variety of settings – from riding a hotel elevator to looking around the lobby. The idea of the library is to include a rich variety of room tones and quiet atmospheres very early in the morning, late in the evening, or at night. The atmospheres in hotels of different sizes and stages of construction are quite distinctive because of their different reverberation, density of walls, doors, etc. Most of the library is focused around silence. You can hear photo-cell lighting at times, distant faint voices at others, or just sporadic sounds coming from places such as doors or footsteps from an upper floor. The stairwells are also very interesting as you can hear the sound of moving elevators stopping on another floor or the sound of pure electricity. This library sequel also includes atmospheres from the interior of moving elevators. You will hear the sound of doors closing, traveling, and doors opening. Room tones from a handful number of bathrooms are included as well. This library has been recorded in Eastern Europe and more specifically in Bulgaria which makes the atmospheres even more diverse and intriguing.

    All of the files are carefully and thoroughly meta-tagged in UCS.

    Gear used:

    Recorders: Sound Devices 833, 664, Sony PCM D100, Zoom H6,

    Microphones: Neumann KM184 mP, Usi Pro

    Enjoy the night hotels.

  • TONAL WIND sound effects library
    TONAL WIND sound effects library
    Weather Sound Effects Tonal Wind Play Track 60 sounds included, 90 mins total $43.60

    These sounds will sweeten and add character to your wind sounds. Lots of whistling, squeaking, howling and singing wind. From low rumbles, mid honks to harsh high frequency blows, this modular library is the perfect construction kit for creating otherwordly swirls and heavy storms.

    The sounds were recorded at the windorgan in Vlissingen(NL), at the monument Halde Hohenward and  in Zoutelande(NL) & Essen(GER).

    In addition to the original wind sounds creating tones on objects, you will get a few rattling flagpoles, waving flags and singing flag cords. And some bonus windmill sounds.

    About half the sounds are delivered in stereo, the focus though is on mono sounds. I captured the very sweetspot where the wind created unique tones. To focus on these rare events, I mostly used a single spot mic. In winds up to 48 mph you will have carefully selected mic positions for a broad variety of wind torturing different objects.

    The stereo files deliver a symphony of wind with various pitches and broad dynamics.

Yet beyond all the monkey exuberance, these recordings are characterised by tranquility and spaciousness, where slow lazy bird calls are interspersed by gently fluttering insect choruses and pinging tree frogs.
