    Environments & Ambiences Subterranean – New Zealand Play Track 46 sounds included, 98 mins total $49

    This sound library captures the unique acoustics of New Zealand’s caves, abandoned mines, and tunnels, recorded in stereo and surround.

    You will find a variety of ambiences, from vast, echoing caverns to narrow passageways with close, damp acoustics. From the delicate trickle of water on mossy stone and heavy drips on dirt to the distant rumble of underground streams and the wind through old miner houses, these recordings bring the underground world to life.

    This library reveals the rich echoes and shifting textures of these hidden spaces, where sound bends, fades, and resonates through stone and water.

    This library is also available in The New Zealand Collection bundle.

  • Bird Sound Effects Sichuan Nature Ambiences Play Track 21 sounds included, 63 mins total $23.20

    This library features ambiences recorded in China’s Sichuan Mountains, captured primarily from dusk to dawn using drop rig recording equipment. While I aimed to exclude all human-made sounds in this collection, one of my favorite recordings has the sound of distant Buddhist prayer bells chiming as birds begin their morning chorus. A couple of files contain minimal human presence, but the vast majority are purely natural soundscapes. Finding locations free from human activity in China is difficult, making these recordings especially valuable.

    The recordings are enriched with UCS naming conventions and detailed metadata, including identifications of many sub-tropical bird species identified using Chirpity and Merlin Bird ID. Some species you can expect to hear include Cuckoo Birds, Great Barbets, Koels, Nightjars, Thrushes, and Roosters.

    Listeners can experience low-noise natural ambiences featuring dawn bird choruses, frogs and crickets at night, bat activity, water sources, and rainfall recordings.

    *Note: All sounds in this library are included in the Soundscapes of Modern China (SSMC) collection.

  • Farm & Horse Sound Effects Vintage Combine Play Track 6+ sounds included, 27 mins total $20

    Introducing Vintage Combine, featuring high-quality stereo sounds of a fully operational 1970s-era John Deere 4400 combine harvester. For this library, I found a willing farmer in his late 70s harvesting a small corn crop at his family farm in northeast Ohio. His combine was set up with a four-row corn head. It looks like a set of hair clippers, only much bigger. 

    I made the recordings on a beautiful October afternoon, placing a Sony PCM D100 inside the combine’s cab to capture sounds like door slams, idling and harvesting. The farmer was a real trooper and refrained from making noise during the recording. 

    Several exterior sounds include a pass-by, idling and throttling at different RPMs. Plus, there is an exterior onboard recording of the machine harvesting the field, traveling slowly up and down rows of tall, dried-out field corn. I used a boom pole to suspend a pair of Line Audio CM3 microphones in ORTF over the moving harvester head. From this perspective, listening to corn stalks being chewed up and spit out into the combine’s grain tank makes for a fun recording. Seamless loops of certain sounds are included as well.

    For your next farm feature, consider using Vintage Combine.

    About Pottery Workshop

     

    84 sounds that are clean, subtle and capture pretty much every object and action of the magic of fire and earth.

    From the rhythmic hum of the spinning potter’s wheel, to the splash of water, the scrape of clay with the tools shaping and smoothing surfaces, listen up for the symphony of creation.

    You will hear the tapping and thud of ceramic pottery, wooden ribs, wire cutters, loop tools, and sponges, all kinds of rummage, and mud actions on the potter’s wheel. The clicking and whirring of mechanisms during firing cycles add a mechanical counterpoint to the workshop’s natural rhythms.

    You will get variations of sounds in different proximity, size, and style of action. This collection is handy due to the clarity and diversity of the raw sounds. They have both Foley and practical usability and room for further sound design.

    You will get intuitive, detailed naming, UCS compatibility and the usual Vadi Sound craft and attention to detail in 84 pristine sounds. Recorded in 24bit-96kHz.WAV format on our favorite Sennheiser MKH 8040 stereo pair and Zoom F6.
