What we recorded Recording took place across cypress groves, open wetlands, soft mud zones and areas with dense wildlife presence. The material includes frog sounds at multiple distances, wild alligator behaviour such as movement, feeding and territorial bellows, extended insect beds, reed movement, canopy wind and natural squelch sound textures. More than 150 hours of raw recordings were gathered and refined into a curated final selection.
We sat down with Matt who told us the story of his journey through Floridaโs swamps. To read more check out our interview here.
Whatโs so special about this library?
High quality swamp recordings are rare due to the challenging conditions involved. SWAMPS captures wild animal behaviour, evolving sub ecosystems and the constant tension between land and water. With consistent ORTF 3D arrays, SCHOEPS microphones and disciplined field craft, the library offers a best in class approach to sound effects recording that delivers consistent results in professional workflows. For audio teams needing dependable, high quality swamp sound effects, this is a comprehensive and reliable resource.
True ORTF 3D spatial accuracy
Consistent ORTF 3D placement ensures stable localisation across the entire library. Matching array spacing and gain structure throughout the sessions allows recordings to intercut cleanly in longer scenes.
Optimised for Atmos and VR
Natural elevation and width cues from vegetation, insects and water movement translate well into Atmos and VR workflows. The recordings sit cleanly in immersive beds without requiring corrective object manipulation.
Consistent environmental movement
Insect beds shift naturally, water textures remain coherent when rotated and alligator movement maintains clear positional identity across surround, Atmos and binaural formats.

HERE YOU GO! ย
The Stereo versions preserve the clarity and articulation of the ORTF recordings, providing a tighter footprint for focused placement. Frog sounds, insect activity and water textures behave predictably without drift or phase instability.

WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT 3D SURROUND? 3D Surround has two enormous advantages over conventional surround sound. On the one hand, individual sound sources can be located much better and more clearly with 3D Surround. On the other hand, 3D Surround also reflects height differences much better. This results in a more extensive and much clearer sound image in a quality that cannot be achieved with conventional surround sound.
HIGH-PRECISION SOUND LOCATION
Conventional surround sound often provides a somewhat diffuse image of the sound source, making it hard to precisely pinpoint the direction where the sound is coming from and where it is moving to. 3D Surround draws a crystal-clear picture of the source recording for a complete sound experience. THE 3RD DIMENSION โ SUITED FOR VR & DOLBY ATMOS
3D Surround adds a height layer as a third dimension compared to regular surround. The sound not only reaches the listenerโs ear from the side, but also from above. This results in a much better localization of the sound source and a much more immersive listening experience which makes it the perfect surround type for VR applications and Dolby Atmos.RECORDED WITH THE MOST ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY Our 3D Surround libraries are recorded with the highly-acclaimed SCHOEPS ORTF-3D setup, a cuboid 8ch level/time difference ambience setup. The main benefit is an additional height layer compared to regular surround recording setups. It consists of 8 supercardioid microphones.
The height layer offers a much wider range of spatial sound effects and a more realistic three-dimensional reproduction. Therefore, it provides a clearer representation of spatial depth, a more natural surround impression, improved envelopment, and an authentic feel.
Compatible SoftwareThis BOOM Library comes as WAV files, meaning you can import and work with them in any software that can handle this file type. Here are the most common audio and video editing software tools that work perfectly with our sound FX:
