Nature’s Fury: Rain
34 tracks, 1h:41m:40s
This portion of the library contains light, medium, and heavy rain. There are even tracks labeled “splatty” for locations where the water built up on roofs or in trees and caused a cacophony of splat sounds.
Nature’s Fury: Thunder
67 tracks, 32m:30s
This portion of the library contains tracks labeled “boom”, “crack”, and “rolling”. The labeling helps to separate the various sounds into categories, but there is a lot of gray area between them. “Boom” thunder sounds more like an explosion. “Crack” thunder sounds like “typical” thunder - imagine a bolt of lightning from the hand of Zeus. And “rolling” thunder just has the rumbling tail without a definitive initial crack.
Nature’s Fury: Rumble
48 tracks, 17m:13s
This portion of the library is Fienup’s favorite! These 48 tracks were designed from low rumbling thunder. Through the processes of iZotope DeNoise and Spectral Repair, and running them through ProTools with
API EQ and MaxxBass, he was able to deliver some great source material: gnarly rumbling sounds without all the rain, birds, traffic, and other extraneous sounds you often pick up recording storms! These will be great for getting your subwoofer working into overtime, and add some really great low-end to your thunderstorms. There is a whole lot of variation since each sound was taken from a unique raw thunder track – unique to the library in fact. None of these sounds are duplicates from Nature’s Fury: Thunder.
Nature’s Fury: Thunderstorm
27 tracks, 1h:25m:11s
This portion of the library contains raw thunderstorm tracks, except for the removal of some birds and wind-chimes of course – HOW ANNOYING! These are great for your starting point. Find your favorite track, which already contains your rain and thunder, and then add individual Rumble, Thunder, and Wind tracks for those great filmic moments!
Nature’s Fury: Wind
18 tracks, 52m:15s
This portion of the library contains a variety of wind ambiences including some pretty heavy winds! There is wind in late-fall forests where you can hear branches hitting each other and leaves on the ground; high gusting winds roaring through trees and houses; whipping winds blowing through leafy trees and dry cattails; and even some interior perspective with wind whistling through a window seal.
Nature’s Fury: Designed!
3 tracks, 12m
This portion of the library contains 3 very different 5.1 surround sound ambiences created straight from this library. These three tracks show the kind of range this library offers. Each is created with raw tracks from Nature’s Fury, with merely single band EQ on a track or two, and a very light 5.1 reverb to blend it together. No other effects were used in the creation of these 4-minute ambiences.
File Delivery – Why 48k and not 96k?
This collection was recorded over many years. Throughout those years I flip-flopped between recording at 48k and 96k. While on the road, with only one device, I would often record at 48k so I wouldn’t run out of space before returning home. The problem with recording storms is that you watch the weather, set up microphones 30 minutes to an hour before the storm hits so you can get the oncoming, distant storm, and then wait for an hour after the storm passes to get more distant storm sounds. That can fill up your memory pretty fast when you’re in places like Chesterfield, MO, where high humidity causes very lengthy and powerful storms.
I was in a bit of a dilemma when putting this library together. I had both 48k and 96k files. I certainly didn’t want to up-res all the 48k files to 96k and claim it was a true HD library. After all, a sound file is only as good as its recorded sampling rate. So, I went the other way: I decided to down-res the 96k files after all of the editing, processing, and mastering were done so that all files were in the same format.
Down-resing to 48k also makes the library quicker and easier to download.
This collection provides some new and interesting sounds, as well as a ton of variations so your soundtrack never gets old! All Soundopolis tracks include metadata tags so they are easy to find using any search engine. All tracks are delivered as 48k/24bit .wav files. Collections come in easily downloadable zip files.
