Environments & Ambiences

Environment recordings, ambiences and soundscapes – from all over the world, and beyond

  • A collection of ambiences from underneath every railway bridge crossing the Thames in London. Most recordings are dynamic enough to allow for easy isolation of train sounds for use as an individual effect, with periods of quieter urban and suburban soundscapes in between – 2 kinds of library for the price of one, essentially.

    All recordings made with a pair of DPA 4060s into a Tascam Dr-100mk3.

  • ONE OF THE MOST TRICKY BIOMES TO RECORD
    Fresh and ever fascinating: With careful planning, patient recording and favourable luck, Sound Tracker® Gordon Hempton has created this fantastic ninth Quiet Planet nature library that will totally expand and deepen your understanding of natural sound spheres.
    WHAT’S INSIDE

    INCLUDED SOUNDS – KEYWORDS

    WETLANDS, NATURE, SWAMPS, MARSH, BIRDS, INSECTS, SANHILLS, BREEZES, GOOSE, FRESHWATER, WATER, FROGS, LAKES, LAPS, MOSQUITOS, SPLASHES, GURGLES, BOULDERS, FISH, FLOPPY, POPPING, THUNDERSTORMS, SHOPPING, BUBBLY, WAVES, PONDS, QUACKS, DUCKS, BIOSPHERES, WILDLIFE, RAINFALLS, LAKES, BEAVER, TAIL

    VARIOUS STANDING WATER ENVIRONMENTS

    As used here, WETLANDS include places with standing fresh water such as swamps, marshes, ponds, and lakes. In fact, it’s the water itself that creates these very special acoustic biospheres – as a propagator of sounds, causing them to travel further and louder due to surface reflections and temperature layers.

    RICH WILDLIFE SYMPHONIES

    WETLANDS encloses recordings of wildlife and scenery at different day times and intensities. Are you looking for recordings of birds playing and hurrying across the water? Late evening frog concerts? Rainfall lapping on the lake? The slap of a beaver tail? Let these examples give you a fair idea of what this beautiful collection has on its great content list.

    This Library is also part of The Complete Quiet Planet Bundle.

  • HARBOR & INDUSTRIAL consists of authentic industrial ambiences, one third of which capture sites close to the water. Almost all files are loopable; every sound is ready-to-use and recorded to sit well within your mix. An accessible, yet highly flexible toolkit for you to create signature locations with ease.

    LOCATION VARIETY
    This collection features a large variety of places to explore – both indoor and outdoor, busy and desolate, organic and constructed. HARBOR & INDUSTRIAL also offers a series of isolated components to assemble just the environment you envision with multiple layers and sources of sound. Especially game environments profit from the diverse palette of sounds available to give each area its own distinct character.

    THE SOUND OF SIZE
    In HARBOR & INDUSTRIAL you have access to massive mechanical constructs with enough body to set up huge, incredible acoustic scenes. Without sounding intrusive these metallic beasts blend smoothly into their surroundings at just the right proximity and volume.

    Sound library keywords include:

    Harbor, seagull flock, seagulls feeding, seagulls chattering, harbor morning birdsong, boat traffic, industrial area, wave laps, air traffic, truck traffic, crows, horn honk series, ventilation drone, water babbles, ocean swells, breakwater, pier piling, ship horn blasts, ship rubber bumper rubs, industrial traffic, ventilation, industrial engine, industrial electrical shop, industrial mechanical room, truck traffic, hammer, saw, metal, wood, jackhammers, materials handling, electrical buzz, electrical hum, electrical rattle, industrial compressor, conveyor belt, industrial train activity, train wheels, industrial sanders, dump truck, clown factory

  • TOWN & COUNTRY provides a wide range of professional sounds for creating perfectly convincing and realistic town and country ambiences in high-end quality. In addition to a broad and solid foundation of town and country lifestyle, we focused on credible ambiences that are full of detail and at the same time leave enough room to place further sound design in the foreground.

    MAJOR STRENGTH: FLEXIBILITY!
    The main part of this library consists of extensive – mostly loopable – background ambiences with varying daytimes and locations of town & country sceneries. More detailed and easily accessible sounds of e.g. camp fire, farm animals or an extraordinarily impressive file with flies on a roadkill are another strong addition to your SFX pool.

    More than 200 files of vivid town and country days and nights give you all the flexibility you need to bridge the gap between a very rural country life with animals and man-made town sounds. TOWN & COUNTRY has all necessary components to design organic and grounded acoustic backdrops while keeping a naturalistic feel and human touch.

    These tracks are stripped highlights from the hundreds of hours of field recordings I use to make my films. A number of them include the birds fluttering and making deep natural calls right next to the recorder – about as close as you can hope to get of birds in the wild.

  • Ambiences from Thailand is a collection of sounds from busy and exotic Bangkok, idyllic Railay Beach and Khao Sok with oldest evergreen rainforest in the world. You will hear tourists’ excitement, local Thais conversations, traditional gongs at world-famous temples and cricket chirps and other insects in middle of the night. Additionally you will find soundscapes generated by Asian means of transportation: boats, tuk tuks, buses and planes.

    Sounds have been captured in Bangkok, Ao Namm, Railay Beach, Phra Nang Beach, Krabi, Khao Sok and Surat Thani.

  • UCS-compliant, ambient recordings from various industrial sites, including the port of Aarhus with its bulk cargo and container terminals. Most of the sounds are quite generic though, and could be used in many different contexts. Some recordings are teeming with activity, while others feature deserted, yet humming and droning, industrial landscapes. Lots of HVAC with fans and pumps. Containers are moved, gravel is unloaded, engines are running. Very little wind, and hardly any legible speech. A few of the sounds are cut as seamless loops.

    Most of the sounds were originally recorded with a Sennheiser MKH60/30 M/S setup. A few sounds appear in both mono and stereo versions, where the stereo version are X/Y derived from the M/S source files and the mono versions are simply the Mid channel. I did this, because most people seem to prefer X/Y files for post-work, rather than M/S – but a down-mix of X/Y to mono would be inferior to using the original Mid-mic signal. 4 of the sounds were recorded with a quasi binaural setup. All sounds were captured in Aarhus, Denmark.

  • Environments & Ambiences Ambiences from Milan Play Track 42+ sounds included, 119 mins total $34.99

    Home to biggest fashion houses and supermodels, Milan is one of the most entertaining cities in Italy.

Apart from Milan you will also experience a journey to Lake Como, an upscale resort area know for its dramatic scenery and celebrity homes.

  • Nature & Countryside Ambiences Mountain Air: Ambiances & Winds Play Track 87 sounds included, 294 mins total $59.99
    192KHZ 24BIT • 20.37GB • 87 FILES • 294 MIN • UCS 

    Introducing Mountain Air: Ambiances & Winds, the largest and most ambitious sound effects library from PMSFX to date. This collection features 87 high-quality recordings, totaling almost 5 hours of immersive soundscapes. Captured exclusively in the breathtaking Kuči Mountains, located on the border of Montenegro and Albania, these recordings were made at altitudes ranging from 1,400 to 1,700 meters, offering a pristine and untouched auditory experience.

    Each soundscape is meticulously tagged with UCS-compliant metadata, ensuring you can locate the perfect sound in seconds.

    To reach these remote locations, hours of rugged off-road trails were navigated, accessible only with a capable 4WD vehicle. These challenging terrains and isolated spots provided the ideal environment to capture the raw, unspoiled essence of mountain soundscapes.

    The library includes a diverse array of recordings:

    Still Air: Quiet, serene atmospheres.

    Gentle Breezes to Gale-Force Winds: Dynamic wind recordings that range from subtle rustles to powerful gusts.

    Natural Soundscapes: Crickets, birds, and other wildlife echoing across forests, mountain valleys, and meadows.

    Mountain Villages: Very distant hints of human presence, including faint dog barks and cow moos from small mountain settlements (Serbian/Croatian: Katun)

    This 20.37GB library was recorded between spring and fall, as the trails in Kuči Mountains become nearly inaccessible during winter, even with the best 4WD setups. The result is a one-of-a-kind collection that captures the essence of high-altitude wilderness.
