  • Environments & Ambiences Chimney Wind Play Track 30 sounds included, 93 mins total $7

    There was a massive storm going on outside and we could hear the wind from the chimney so we popped our field recording kit up and extended the microphones to as far as they would go up the chimney and pressed record. We managed to capture the low end and rumbles of the wind interacting with the chimney.

    We then tried adding some reverb on to the samples to give space and context which wasn’t exactly part of the plan for this sample pack but we thought it added something so decided to add these samples to the sample pack for no extra cost.

    Chimney Wind will give you enough audio to give your project the authentic sound of wind from a chimney stack, boosting your project to the next level. Chimney Wind has been edited to allow a drop in ready and Royalty Free sample pack. These Samples can be used in a variety of projects from Sound Designing/Compositions for TV, Film, Documentaries and Video Games. UCS Compliant and Metadata is attached to the samples

  • 192KHZ 24BIT • 10.6GB • 52 FILES • 151 MIN • UCS 

    Lake Skadar Vol1: Winds & Ambiences is a first installment of the Lake Skadar series, showcasing the unparalleled sonic richness of the Lake Skadar National Park in Montenegro, a UNESCO nominee. 

    This library is a result of a massive effort put into the recording, editing, and (minimal)mastering process to deliver the highest quality sound effects.

    The recordings were captured using a multi-microphone setup and stretched over several days to capture the essence of the location in all its sonic glory. The library features a whopping 2.5 hours of top-notch recordings of wind sound effects and general “air” ambiances. 

    With 52 files of high-quality recordings, you can listen to general airy ambiances of Lake Skadar, gentle winds being carried across the lake, distant frogs and birds, moderate and strong wind gusts that make the whole lake with its inhabitants silent, creaking trees and snapping branches, wind traveling through leaves and reeds, distant villages at night, and more.

    The library comes packed with rich metadata, making it easy for you to find and sort the files you need for your projects. The files are also UCS compliant.

    I highly recommend listening to the entire preview as it showcases the remarkable sonic diversity of this library. Keep in mind that the preview is only 10 minutes long, whereas the entire library features over 2 and a half hours of recordings.

  • Sweeping my flashlight across the still water I see the red glow of multiple black caiman eyes, a haunting stillness. Suddenly a reverberating splash breaks the rhythmic chorus of frogs and crickets as a caiman finds its evening meal, the first of many tonight. Giving a greater sense of space to this Amazonian lake the eyes of the caiman go on glowing, waiting for an unsuspecting fish to pass their open mouths. 

    It is impossible to not be present in the rainforest. Surrounded by mysterious night vocalization, stinging, biting insects, and penetrating humidity. Gratitude fills me for the Cofan guides who have taken our small group of sound recordists deep into their wildest territory. Nearly a constant buzz fills the soundscape which takes a few days to adjust to, but as I do I start to notice the thrilling variety of calls. Near and distant, there is a spectacular spaciousness and an intimacy that can only come from this unique location.
