Inspiring bird songs, relaxing cricket medleys, winds of nearly every variety, thunderstorms and even wildfires are found in more than one hundred choices of ambient loops and sfx. Metadata provides valuable information such as sound description, bird ID’s, geographic location and useful hints about how to use a particular sound to achieve best results (Soundminer® readable).  In addition there are two valuable guides: Sound Designing with Prairies and How to Record Prairies. This well organized collection will allow you to work quickly and confidently to meet your demanding production schedules.

Four hundred million years in the making, Coniferous Forests are simpler, quieter, and more spacious habitats than other forests, and yet they still resound with more than enough sonic diversity to mesmerize your audience.

Deserts are quieter than any other habitat type, owing to naturally high atmospheric attenuation rates and a pronounced absence of echoes.  This makes for a perfect setting to emotionally challenge your audiences with sound design strategies unique to this habitat, even omitting sounds of distant visual events.

Quietudes is the first collection of its kind--habitat ambiences that occur at or near the threshold of human hearing. Verging at the edge of design, these experiences add depth of field and enhance continuity.

Quietudes Demo

Riparian Zones are areas bordering flowing water.  These areas sound differently from the forests, prairies, or other habitats that lay inland. Increased biodiversity, microclimate stability, and acoustic competition for wildlife from the sounds of flowing water combine to provide Nature’s ultimate performance hall.  Stop simply adding water to your habitat ambiences and use Riparian Zones instead to produce incredible spaces.  These meticulously recorded soundscapes were collected from North America (79), Central America (10), South America (22) and Asia (21). Both temperate and tropical environments are represented to accommodate most design needs.

Riparian Zone Demo

This spatial collection of 101 carefully mastered shoreline sounds allow you to balance just the right amount of wave presence with appropriate wildlife to fit nearly every mood. Day or night, dune or forest, calm or windy, you will be able to craft your most compelling soundscapes. For example, distant ocean waves and clear gull cries or inspiring songbirds will produce a full frequency spectrum and depth of field.  Need something more sheltered? One of the many cricket medleys combined with windblown dune grass will render an acoustic safe harbor for your audience to enjoy many pleasant vacation memories.

Quiet Planet® has saved the best for last, as Hawaii is the Earth-in-miniature, providing nearly all habitat types and 10 of the world’s 14 climate zones in merely 6/1000ths of one percent of the world’s land surface area. To meet such a challenge of diversity, this unprecedented library was accomplished over two decades of repeated visits to Maui, Kauai, Oahu, and the Big Island.  This library includes 40 species vocalizations (including the Hawaiian Crow, now extinct in the wild) and105 ambiences which are conveniently divided into coastal and Up-Island, as well as day and night, to simplify workflow.
