Looks like there will be two new ambience libraries available next week – both multichannel although in different ways… Check the preview videos, first Tonsturms Mountain Air
I sincerely hope they tag the metadata of any tracks with birds or crickets with the location/country they were recorded in! As a sound editor it is invaluable to know that your choices of wildlife actually are appropriate for the setting… I only say this as last week I watched an old BBC doco on Emperor Hirohoto (homework for next year) and every time they cut to a temple the soundtrack included prominent birds that I’ve never heard in Japan…
And heres a preview of the next HISSandaROAR library…
Apart from having an excuse to get off road, it has been SO good to be forced to sit at the beach & have a quiet mind for decent lengths of time… I’ll put together a post next week re my theories/experience recording & editing ambiences…




This just me think.
Recording a beach in the rain would present some unique challenges.
