  • City Life Sound Effects FRL. Ultimate. Stereo Play Track 786 sounds included, 2160 mins total $250

    Field Recording Library proudly presents Ultimate – a collection that combines the finest recordings from the Kaleidoscope, Vol. 1, and Vol. 2 libraries. This comprehensive archive spans three years of dedicated work, capturing the rich and diverse soundscapes of Russia – from the awakening of nature in spring to the crisp chill of autumn.

    Kaleidoscope offers an extensive selection of atmospheric recordings made between 2022 and 2023. The library takes you to various locations, from serene forests and quiet courtyards to bustling highways and vibrant city squares. These recordings, presented in 48kHz, provide a versatile foundation for any audiovisual project, delivering vivid and realistic soundscapes.

    Vol. 1 raises the bar in sound quality, featuring recordings in 96kHz, 24Bit for unmatched detail. Dedicated to the sounds of Russia and St. Petersburg from early spring to late summer, this library introduces extended ambient recordings up to 20 minutes. These long-form tracks offer greater flexibility in selecting and combining textures, making it easier to create custom atmospheres.

    Vol. 2 focuses on the autumn soundscapes of St. Petersburg and its surroundings. From the warm days of September to the damp chill of November, this library showcases urban and natural soundscapes in various weather and time conditions. The highlight of this collection is the addition of extra channels, synchronized with the main recordings. These channels reveal new dimensions, such as underwater waves captured with a hydrophone or hidden textures recorded with contact microphones and geophones. Like Vol. 1, these recordings are presented in 96kHz, 24Bit, making them a professional-grade tool for sound design.

    Ultimate combines variety and versatility in one package. This collection is perfect for any project – from crafting immersive atmospheres for films, games, and advertisements to developing unique sound layers. It’s the ideal choice for anyone looking to dive into the world of Field Recording Library and gain access to the full spectrum of soundscapes in one comprehensive set.

    Field Recording Library proudly presents Vol. 2 – a sound library entirely dedicated to the autumn soundscapes of St. Petersburg and its surroundings. From the golden warmth of early September to the damp chill of late November, this collection captures the full spectrum of autumn’s auditory landscapes.

    The library includes urban soundscapes recorded in diverse conditions: bustling streets under the rain, quiet parks with the rustle of fallen leaves, echoes of conversations in autumn courtyards, and much more. Each recording immerses you in the heart of the moment, bringing the character of the season to life.

    What sets Vol. 2 apart are the unique recordings that didn’t make it into the first two libraries. These exclusive materials enrich and expand the collection, making it even more versatile and inspiring.

    The main microphone, the Nevaton MC50, ensures pristine and detailed sound quality, while the recordings’ 96kHz and 24Bit format meet the highest professional standards.

    A major innovation in Vol. 2 is the addition of extra channels. These synchronized recordings provide new dimensions to the sound. For example, alongside the sound of river waves, you can hear their underwater counterpart captured with a hydrophone or feel the earth’s subtle vibrations through a geophone. Contact microphones and other specialized devices reveal hidden textures and details that were previously inaudible.

    Vol. 2 is more than a sound library – it’s a tool for creating atmospheres that truly come alive, drawing you into every sound. Perfect for films, games, sound design, and any project that requires rich, immersive audio. New horizons of autumn sound are here!

  • Mechanical Sound Effects Bowling Play Track 34+ sounds included, 44 mins total $24.99

    Bowling features a wide variety of high-quality stereo sounds from the sport of 10-pin bowling, captured from multiple micing perspectives at three different bowling alleys across the United States.

    I visited a 40-lane, a 24-lane and an 8-lane alley, all at different times of day and night to capture sounds during league practice (with no music) and sounds with no one in the house besides myself and the manager. I was given fantastic access, allowing me to record from various perspectives. These include from above, behind and beside the mechanical pinsetter machines and next to the pin deck at the far end of the lanes. I also set my mics down next to the foul line, the ball return behind the approach, behind the settee area (where bowlers sit), the concourse area (where bowlers find the snack machines and bar) and halfway down the service aisle beside the first lane. I followed a robot-like lane machine as it traveled back and forth along the lanes, laying down oil at just the right spots. It works a lot like an inkjet printer putting words onto a page.

    ​​I was permitted to turn pinsetter machines off and on at the back of the house, which was pretty fun. Each one has a switch in the back. Who knew? This allowed me to record just one machine in isolation, or several working at once. I rolled (delivered is the term used by the United States Bowling Congress) a few frames down an alley with no machines running. Machine noise can mask the woosh of a ball passing by. Rolling with the machines turned off allowed me to get this delicate sound like I wanted.

    So get yourself an oat soda and a limitless bowl of pretzels. Slip on a pair of two-toned suede bowling shoes, you know, those kind with their size stamped on the heel for all to see, and enjoy Bowling.

    Roman Havası, characterized by its energetic 9/8 rhythms, intricate melodies, and vibrant instrumentation, is a cornerstone of Turkish Gypsy music and a popular choice at weddings and celebrations.

As a globalized genre, it has evolved while retaining its distinct, culturally rich essence, now celebrated internationally as part of the world music category.

    The tracks in this collection capture the joyful, celebratory nature of Roman Havası, making them perfect for adding an authentic cultural touch to your projects. Whether you’re working on a film, a game, or a cultural presentation, these sound files offer a vivid soundscape of one of Turkey’s most vibrant musical traditions.

  • City Life Sound Effects City Life Los Angeles Play Track 115 sounds included, 143 mins total $60

    City Life: Los Angeles is a collection of Sounds recorded in downtown Los Angeles, Long Beach, and some of the surrounding areas around LA.  The focus was Ambiences, Vehicles, Horns, Sirens, and more of the grittier / vibey sounds that can really add to a Soundscape when working with Backgrounds in Film Projects.  This library consists mostly of Exterior locations and with Vehicles and sounds without People , but there’s some Interior / Exterior Public Places mixed in with Walla and more Movement.

    The idea for this library started a couple years ago.  I thought it’d be cool to take the recording gear and really explore the Downtown LA area.  There’s quite a lot going on from a sound perspective, whether you’re on a busy Street in the Historic Core with Cars and Motorcyles revving away, or hanging out above the City on Bunker Hill, on a Parking Garage Rooftop with the constant City Fill, or roaming the streets of Chinatown.  The idea was to try to capture some of the sounds in spaces that are particular to not only LA, but also a lot of busier Cities.

    25 miles South of LA is Long Beach.  It’s a smaller Big City, but one that has a lot of character sonically.  For those recordings I mostly recorded in a neighborhood on a rooftop just outside of Downtown.  With these you get more of a distant perspective.  A few of the other recordings took place in some of the surrounding Cities.

     

    Vehicles (These are Singular Individual Sound Files)

    Bus (9 Files) – Close, Bys, Away, Brake Squeaks

    Cars (19 Files) – Close, Medium, Distant, Bys, Revs (Think less generic and more Engines with a lot of character)

    Freight (8 Files) – Close, Rattle Bys, Garbage Trucks

    Motorcycles (10 Files) – Close, Distant, Revs, Bys, Aways

    Truck (6 Files) – Low Bys, Aways

    Sirens (9 Files) – Close Medium, Wailers, some Fast Doppler Bys

    Horns (16 Files) – Close Medium

     

    Ambiences 

    Birds (2 Files) – Seagulls, Crows

    Construction (5 Files) – Larger Busy Worksites

    Public Places / Walla (9 Files) – Mostly Interior, Chinese Cafe, Library, Park, Street Vendors

    Miscellaneous

    Helicopter (5 Files) – Circling and Bys

     

    Recording perspectives varied throughout this library.  Sometimes I had a full rig set up and other times I opted for the more stealth route with hidden mics attached to a backpack.
