AMBIENCE VOL.1 - Film, TV and Game Essentials

Ambience Vol.1 is the first library in our Film, TV & Game Essentials range. If you are a working sound effects editor, sound designer, film maker or game designer… this really is content for everyday usage! And we say that with some experience working across multiple film, TV and video game productions. This library covers all of the practical, go-to sound categories that sound editors use on a daily basis working with fiction, factual, animation and interactive world design.

Urban and suburban areas. This library contains a broad selection of city and suburban recordings, featuring activity from people in exterior and interior settings, clearly audible footsteps and movement on exterior surfaces like pavements, alleyways and walla at different densities. Sirens, street sounds and signature city environments are all included in this selection.

Interiors and Room Tones. One of the staples of sound effects editing, the background room tone. Useful for ADR editors and sound effects editors alike, this library features a number of tones, background hums and ambience that will provide the perfect bed for set dialogue, ADR and replacing missing interior shots from set.

Our room tone content also makes the perfect edition for sound editors looking to enhance the audio from set or create a realistic environment scene. From perfectly still rooms to interior weather recordings, this selection can bring your interior scenes to life in any genre or story.

Nature. Vol.1 wildlife and natural environment selection includes ambiences from Brazil, Costa Rica, Mexico, England, Wales and Thailand. Featuring dense rainforests, jungle trails, native villages, hillsides, farmland and fields. From pristine natural environments to rural countryside shared with people, there are options to cover exotic and European exterior spaces that will prove useful across multiple genres and most everyday applications.

Wide spread bird species are featured in these nature recordings that remain common across Europe and North America, such as guls, pigeons, ducks and more. The rural recordings included also contain common farm animals like sheep in fields.

Water. With so many textures and possible settings for water, this selection aims to provide some common use cases. Various intensities of sea waves, tidal sounds, waves against man made features and natural shorelines are included along with inland rivers, streams and water features.

Elements like dripping, trickling and splashing all add detail and enhance any background mix or ambience design that contains these visual attributes.

Water in context is another important feature of this collection that can be used to create stunning natural detail and organic sounding shots on screen. Picture a pristine river in springtime, or a jungle waterfall in a rainforest. With contextual wildlife and water features captured as a single source recording, this can add a sense of depth and realism to your ambient scenes and save time assembling multiple elements.

Whatever the weather… we’ve got you covered! This library contains multiple selections for rain and wind, along with enhanced detailed elements like howling, whistling, rain on specific surfaces, interior weather, exterior suburban weather and thunder.

Nothing soaks the ground and sounds quite like tropical rain, thats covered too… with contextual weather recordings from Brazil and Mexico. Springtime rain from England and close reflections from rain splashing down in urban areas, the choice and flexibility featured in this set is not often seen in a single collection and represents great value for sound professionals to use again and again on productions.

From industry veterans to first time designers, this collection will prove useful on almost any production and add value to even the most established of sound effects collections. Recorded using Tascam, Sound Devices, DPA, AKG and Sennheiser equipment… and more than a decade in the making!
