AMBPark-EXT_ATMOSPHERE-Ambience Of Lots of Birds Planes Cars Rustling Leafs And People Walking By At A Park Up In A Tree_YMLT_NONE_25791459
A soundscape of at Kapiʻolani Regional Park on Oahu. Various sounds of birds, leafs rustling, and people walking by, cars driving by, and planes taking off. Taken around ~3m from the ground up in a tree. There is just a tiny bit of wind noise that pops up, but it can be fixed with EQ! This is my recording of nature's sounds, which I believe should be accessible to all and have therefore dedicated it to the public domain. I have marked it as Creative Commons 0.

Amtrak Pacific Surfliner Pass-by
(RECORDER: ZoomH4nPro 2018) (MICROPHONES: Binaural Roland CS-10EM In-Ear Monitors) As these are recorded using binaural in-ear mics, I purposefully don't turn my head to keep the sound clean and coming from the same direction. The Amtrak Pacific Surfliner winds it'd way up and down the Pacific Coast coast. This train is known for spectacular coastal views. Here you can hear this high-speed train come screaming through Burbank's downtown station (traffic can be heard on I-5 in the distance) You
AGUILLON_Anastasia_2018_2019_walkinginthesnow
I wanted to create a mountain atmosphere with someone who is out of breath and walks in the snow with a lot of wind. I started by completely creating the sound of footsteps by generating a pink noise. I fade in and out to create an opening attack and a slightly softer closing. I then increased the saturation with the distortion effect to get a more "scraping" effect. It allowed me to get a step. So, I duplicated the sound 10 times on the same track, then duplicated the track to have the sound of

Ruiz_Ylona_2019_2020_handspinner_painting_metalpliers_version2
for this sound, I wanted to create a loop from a wave of the 'clap' of the spray paint. I played on the bass and then I duplicated the wave. Over the loop I added raw noise from my recordings. those of the handspinner, the spray paint and the metal clamp. I also added the modified sounds of my previous version. The ones where I played in particular on the distortion, the echo and the reverb
Monastery atmosphere - Monk chant + chimes
Mystical and stern monastic atmosphere. I wanted to create a sense of gravity and sacredness. A kind of prayerful atmosphere on top of a snowy mountain, in the main chamber of a lava stone monastery. I wanted a melody that was at once intriguing, all-encompassing, and austere, set against a rich, ample backdrop. DAW : Garageband. No pre-made loops. VSTs, Garageband plug-ins : Alpha waves. Instruments : Celestial voices, Mystic Timepiece (rythmic synthesizer), Tuned gongs. BPM 110 (but the track
