BOOM Library Swamp SURROUND

BOOM Library - SWAMP SURROUND | Ultimate Realism Florida Swamp Ecosystem 3D Surround Sound Library

Capturing the Primal Tension of the Land-Water Interface: A Premium Swamp Ecosystem Soundscape Crafted for Immersive Productions

The BOOM Library team spent three years, venturing twice into the Florida wetlands, to capture the acoustic complexity and tension of this land-water interface. This sound library was not recorded in a controlled environment, but authentically documents the natural behavior of wild animals, providing sound designers with vibrant ambient sound assets. Utilizing top-tier ORTF 3D recording technology, SWAMP SURROUND perfectly captures spatial details from insect chirps to alligator growls, making it an indispensable immersive audio solution for Dolby Atmos and VR projects, giving your productions Hollywood-level surround sound presence.

Recording engineer Matt Mikkelsen overcame extreme humidity, high temperatures, and insect infestations, using SCHOEPS microphones and Sound Devices recorders, to collect over 150 hours of raw material. These recordings preserve the purest dynamics, untouched by extensive post-processing, ensuring the material's malleability in post-production. Whether for film, game development, or virtual reality experiences, this professional sound library delivers precise localization and rich layering.
