After successful recording session with wild cranes, I’ve decided to hunt for wild stags. Recording them was not as simple as I thought it would be. This library contains 45 files recorded with Sound Devices 702, two Oktavas MK012 set in XY pattern, and Rode NTG3.

All files sounds different, because I was recording everything in the middle of the forest during different times of the day. Recording wild animals is not something you can plan, and I had to record whatever I could, no matter what was happening around. About 90% of the files were deleted, and this 65 minutes of audio is 10% I got left with. In this sound library you’ll find reverberant sounds and ones that has less of the reverb. The distance between me and stags was changing, and that’s the reason of different amount of reverb. Also the animals were constantly moving, and sometimes they turned in completely opposite direction, so roars sounded more distant. Sometimes between roars you’ll hear subtle sounds of me moving close to microphones. I left those sounds so anyone can make cuts in desired places, but those subtle sounds happens very rarely. This library will be updated in the future with additional files recorded in different stereo techniques.

Water Flow sound library took me about six months to record, consumed about 15 thermoses of tea and 42 litres of gasoline to get to all locations. It offers 90 BWAV files recorded in different locations. Huge part of this library is based on the recording sessions on the rivers. Two completely different locations, recorded regularly for the last 5 months allowed me to create this unique sound library. Most of the recording sessions took place during winter just before the sun was rising to reduce the amount of unwanted sounds. Almost all recordings are completely clear and only few have birds in background, since it was my intention to record some location ambients with natural backgrounds.

First location I’ve recorded was river called Łyna, and there I’ve recorded a sound of water flowing down with different speeds, along with sound of dam reducing the speed and high of the rivers flow. The second interesting part of this location was the amount of fallen trees in the water. As you can see on the pictures I’ve provided below, the amount of wood in river caused the water to split. Because of this, there was a lot of sonically interesting places to record.

The second river is called Guber, and it’s much smaller than Łyna. I’ve picked this place because of the really subtle water streams, and something even more amazing, natural dams built by beavers. The amount of work these animals put to built those dams is incredible. I couldn’t miss the opportunity, and I’ve organised 3 recording sessions in those locations. All took place in February, about one hour before the sun rise. I think it’s important to mention, that most of the locations was recorded with different stereo configurations like M-S, XY or ORTF. Some of the sounds were even recorded with DPA 4061 microphones put into the ground very close to super small streams of water, dripping on the leaves and ground. This sound library is not only water flowing out of your speakers, but also a lot of pleasurable textures.

In addition to recorded rivers, this library also includes the sound of water dripping inside the sewers. During one of my field recording trips I’ve discovered a hatch. I could not resist to go inside, and what I’ve discover there was far beyond my expectations. I made a two small trips there to record it from different distances with different microphones in mono and stereo.

Recording this library was challenging and very satisfying. I’ve spent a great time scouting areas, studying maps to find perfect locations. Also editing those beautiful sound effects was really relaxing. Listen to preview, watch a video, experience some of the photos I’ve took during recording sessions and check the sound list to know what exactly is hidden behind this sound library. Water Flow is definitely full of different water sound effects, but it’s not completed. I’m on my way to completely different parts of Poland to record big waterfalls and even bigger water dams, so stay tuned for free updates in the future.

Gear used to record this sound library: Sound Devices 702, Rode NTG3, 2x Oktava MK012, Oktava figure of 8 adapter, Oktava XY/ORTF adapter, 2x DPA 4061, Sony PCM-M10.

Experience the sound of the honey bees hive with this 96kHz and 24bit sound library. All files were recorded outside the town, far away from the roads to capture the clean sound of hard working bees. 14 stereo files were recorded with Sound Devices 702, Sony PCM-M10 recorder, two DPA 4061 microphones hidden inside a hive and two Sennheiser MKH 8040 to capture the ambient in front of the hive. Every stereo AB interior recording can be split to mono to isolate the single buzzes. Recording those sounds was one of my dreams as a field recordist. I always wanted to hear the interior sound of a hive. This session wasn’t the easy one, because of my strong allergic reaction to bees, but thanks to a proper clothes and suit, I was able to walk through the bees for 2 hours without any harm. My main goal was to capture different sounds, not only the ambients but also some close ones, like the sound of the bees landing on their landing zone or just the interior sound of the hive. The overall character of the sound really depends on the time of the year and time of the day. I had a chance to record those insects before the feeding time. They were hungry and really active. In the future I’ll visit different farm to record additional sounds with different configurations. As always those files will be a part of free update. The total length of recorded files is 44 minutes.

Soundholder was founded by self-taught sound designer Dawid Moroz in 2015 as a result of evolving passion to sound effects. His journey with sound started in 2010 when he came across Celldweller and ProTools for the very first time.

After months of experiments with sound in 2012, he got a chance to work as an intern in a recording studio. After completing the internship he got a job in the same studio as an assistant.

In 2013 he was asked to record sound effects for a mobile game, and that’s where the all started. Since that moment in time, he worked as a sound designer for Artists Entertainment company, where he designed sound effects for different games, including the award winning game called The Shadowborn (best game in 1ndie World competition, and first place for best game production in Indie Showcase during Digital Dragons 2015 game convent).

Today apart from working on sound libraries, he’s designing sounds for upcoming short movie written and directed by Catero Alain Colbert starring Michelle Rodriguez and Lukas Haas.
