  • Ambisonic Sound Effects Insectus Play Track 300 sounds included, 50 mins total $69

    Do you want to add a bit of mystery, depth, tension to your ambience stem and influence the emotional state of the listener?

    Insectus is a special Ambisonics sfx library: we’ve been through lot of experimentation in that time with different approaches regarding the best way to deliver this bizarre package of sounds.

    So what is it exactly? Just think about the sound-designed material as a background sweetener. We’ve called it Insectus not only for its Latin roots, but also because it comes from the fusion of two word: Insect+Tinnitus.

    We used the higher octave of the spectrum in an odd way, mimicking insect vocalization and biophony sounds in Symbolic Sound Kyma by layering a lot of synthesised stream of small band of very high frequencies (hence the inspireful source name Tinnitus).

    Now you can create soundscape by layering, rotating, expanding and shrinking the FuMa/ambiX file. You can also re-construct the 360° sound panorama from binaural up to 7.1 surround.

    You’ll find 100 loopable variations of FOA FuMa/ambiX interleaved files (4 channels), with a duration of 30 seconds each.

    Interior Wind | Echotope

    Characterful wind without man-made sound or birds
    It’s a collection of wind from an inside perspective made with years of patience waiting for the right storms to come along while finding different locations with their own character.

    Pure singing wind and creaking houses
    Mostly recorded at night during the cold winter, the sounds are isolated wind through cracks, crevices, wind shafts and slightly open doors or windows. Some with the structure creaking and moving, others just howling tones. Others are the powerful sound of wind pushing against the wall or roof, adding pressure and buffeting.

    Great variety and many locations
    One of the locations we went to was in a house placed under a 120 meter (394 feet) tall power line. The power lines would resonate with a very low and ominous howl while the pylon would emit a specific note when the wind came from the right direction. Another recording session was done in a small wooden cabin in rural Denmark with all walls moving, creaking and making cracking sounds. Others were recorded in apartments or more traditional houses in rooms and attics.

    Getting control of the wind
    We would look at the wind direction and open windows and doors on the other side of the house to stimulate air flow and record through the tiny cracks. This way we got some control and could play with the tones and force of the wind.

    Recording techniques
    The surround files were recorded with an IRT Cross in surround while the stereo files range from XY to ORTF depending on the source.
    Everything was recorded with MKH50 microphones on a Sound Devices 744T.

    Close, Medium and Distant recordings
    The collection has variation in distance to capture both the creaks and movement in the room while others are recorded in closer proximity to isolate a detailed howl or whistle.

    UCS naming and metadata
    We have given careful consideration to the file naming and metadata of the collection, keeping filenames short and concise while providing extra information in the metadata to help narrow search criteria.

     


    Key features

    • Quad IRT Cross and Stereo ORTF

  • City Life Sound Effects NYC Protest | 2019-2022 Play Track 51+ sounds included, 263 mins total Original price was: $100.Current price is: $75.

    There’s a lot of material here – recorded and organized with a sound editor’s sensibility.

    The recordings started out by chance – I’d end up in protest situations, and happened to have a recorder with me. This year I was a little more proactive, especially for the rally in Washington Square Park after the Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade.

    Also in this collection: A Downtown Brooklyn BLM march, A 2019 Foley Square rally in response to border camps/family separation, A UFT protest at City Hall, and a couple different mics on the jubilant reaction to Biden’s presidential win on the corner of Atlantic and Court in Brooklyn. There’s not much underpinning music or other legally difficult material, but there is some. I’ve chosen to leave it in, for the most part, as this is also a historical record.

    Quite a few takes are very long, and encompass changing circumstances. I’ve opted to use WAV markers, which I’m also providing as “Notes” metadata – making phrases, cheers, and other things I’ve noted searchable and findable!

    Everything is UCS complaint.

    *Most material was recorded on a Sony PCM-100, and originated 96k/24bit; Some material was recorded with the Sennheiser Ambeo Headset, and was upsampled to 96k/24bit from 48k/24bit
