Futurescapes is a collection of ten highly stylized 5.1 surround soundscapes, as well as a toolkit of the elements used throughout. These 4 hours of audio are perfect for sci-fi, horror, and thriller settings – anytime you need some deep tension. Whether you need ready-to-go soundscapes for your projects, or you want to mix-and-match elements with your own material, this collection is perfect.
5.1 Soundscapes
These 10 futuristic, sci-fi-esque soundscapes, evolve over time. Some use “processes” that keep them from repeating exactly the same material from one minute to another. For example, “Down the Rabbit Hole”, which is almost 6 minutes long, uses multiple iterations of a single sound file that continually cascades downward in pitch for over 11 minutes. The layering and panning of the elements prevent the soundscape from ever repeating, while not losing its tension, or changing its overall timbre or mood.
Toolkit
Stereo elements are included in a folder with the each correlating designed soundscape. These are perfect for remixing, as well as mixing and matching with your own material to create an infinite number of variations. The elements include drones, rumbly LFE material, pulsing and bubbling beds, glassy and metallic undulating textures, high-pitched whining, distorted electricity elements, creepy-crawly atmospheres, tension risers, and much more.
File Naming, Descriptions
Describing and defining the abstract and often-evolving toolkit files was difficult. However, I didn’t want to leave users with 55 design element files called “Design Element xx”. I did my best to give descriptive filenames that weren’t 200 characters long, and added a plethora of descriptive tags in the description and keywords metadata.
Recording/Editing
Fienup used a variety of recording equipment, including a RODE NT4 microphone with a Sound Devices 633 recorder, as well as a SONY PCM D-100. All files were cleaned up, edited, mangled, pitched, stretched, morphed, and mastered in iZotope Rx and Pro Tools Ultimate. All designed 5.1 tracks were re-mangled and mixed in Pro Tools Ultimate.
Metadata
Metadata was embedded using SoundMiner Plus. Metadata includes: Artwork, Filename, Description, Keywords, Duration, Sample Rate/Bit Depth, FXName, Category, SubCategory, CatID, Designer, Library, Location, and Manufacturer.
UCS Compliant
This collection uses the Universal Category System in both the file name and the CatID metadata. For more information about the UCS, please visit https://universalcategorysystem.com

This collection provides some new and interesting sounds, as well as a ton of variations so your soundtrack never gets old! All Soundopolis tracks include metadata tags so they are easy to find using any search engine. Collections come in easily downloadable zip files.
