Animal Sound Effects Australian Lakes – Active Nature Play Track 46 sounds included, 147 mins total $40

Australian Lakes: Active Nature is a collection of recordings made around Lake Nuga Nuga, in the remote Central Highlands Region of Queensland. Recorded over several days after having recently rained, the area was alive with active vibrant birdlife and insects. Several recordings were done using dual microphone setups, with stereo and shotgun mics used to capture both a wide stereo atmosphere and a focused mono, close perspective on the birds. These recordings are phase aligned so can be used in LCR if desired, however are provided as a seperate mono and stereo file. Ranging from pre-dawn to evening, all recordings are meticulously mastered with sound designers and FX editors in mind, including extensive UCS metadata and species identified where possible. A separate folder includes several individual bird calls, some removed and mastered from the longer recordings, and some as standalone where a longer atmosphere wasn’t desirable.

There are many great independent sound effect libraries available these days. The main problem with having so many, is keeping track of them!

A Sound Effect is a great hub, and is one of the first places I visit to look for sounds by category or genre. I started coming here to see if I could find libraries that I knew I had heard, but forgot WHERE I had heard them.

And in the process discovered libraries I never would have found otherwise. Great work! Keep it up!

David Farmer

Sound designer:
Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit trilogies

We're always looking for new sounds to mangle, so when A Sound Effect had a holiday sale, I tried them out.

The purchase experience is really smooth and quick, and delivery is almost instant.

I'll definitely come back to them again in the future!
