A romantic sunset, a lighthouse keeper and two spies at the waterfront need the same recording and three different distances of it.

That is what this library is organised around: waves and surf at various settings and distances rather than one definitive sea, plus the birds overhead and the wood creaking at the marina that place the listener on a specific shore.

At a Glance

  • 123 files, 123 sounds The same number twice — one sound per file
  • 24 bit / 96 kHz Twice the sample rate of a standard 48 kHz effects library, which is where the spray and the top of the gulls live
  • 6.82 GB across 123 files About 55 MB per file — the division is computed here, and the doubled sample rate is half the reason
  • Four subjects named Waves, surf, birds overhead and marina wood — counted off the field
  • Distance is the axis The field sells settings and distances rather than a single definitive take, which is what makes an ambience library reusable
  • One-shots as well as beds Birds, seals and other coastal one-shots ship alongside the long ambiences

02What Was Recordedfour subjects, counted off the field▾
WavesThe near layer, and the one that sets the energy of a scene
SurfRecorded at various settings and distances rather than as one sea
Birds overheadCrying gulls — the layer that makes a beach read as outdoors rather than as water
The marinaWood creaking, which is the only man-made sound in the set and the one that dates a scene
One-shotsBirds, seals and other coastal one-shots, for placing single events over the beds
Who it is forThe field names three: a romantic seaside sunset, a lighthouse keeper, and a waterfront conversation — three moods off one coastline

Ninety-six kilohertz on a coastline is not a specification, it is a decision about spray and gulls. The top octave is where surf stops sounding like noise, and it is also the first thing lost when an ambience is recorded at half the rate.
