3D Surround, stereo included24 bit / 96 kHzWindows and Mac

Subtract the two stated surround sizes and you land on the stereo edition’s own figure.

The surround set is given at 63+ GB on its own and 79+ GB with the stereo version included. 79 less 63 is 16, and 16 GB is what the stereo edition is stated at by itself. Both surround figures carry a plus, so this checks the floors rather than the exact sizes — but the subtraction is computed here, and it is the cleanest internal check the field offers. The file counts behave the same way: 107 either way, 214 together.


At a Glance

  • 107 files, 214 with stereo The field’s own two figures — the same 107 recordings delivered twice, once in 3D surround and once in stereo
  • 79+ GB less 63+ GB is 16 And 16 GB is the stereo edition’s own stated size. Both surround figures are floors, so the check holds at the floor — the subtraction is computed here
  • 16 GB across 107 files About 150 MB each — and at the stated 24 bit and 96 kHz in stereo that works out at over four minutes of audio per file. Both steps computed here
  • Forty-three keywords Nine of them touch water: bay, boat, ferry, harbor, pier, riverside, seaside, waterfront and watermill — counted off the field’s own list
  • City is in a rural list The heading says rural areas; the keywords include City, Construction and Siren. Three of the forty-three, named here rather than dropped
  • Eight channels, two tiers L, R, Ls and Rs low; Lh, Rh, LSh and RSh high — the field’s own track layout, four and four

Content & Detail

01What Is In Ittwo editions, one set of 107
Stereo107 files, 16 GB
3D Surround107 files at 63+ GB, or 214 files at 79+ GB with the stereo version included. The field states both
The subtraction79 less 63 is 16, and 16 GB is the stereo edition’s stated size. Both surround figures carry a plus, so the two agree at the floor — computed here
Per fileAbout 150 MB each in stereo, about 590 MB each in surround at the stated floor — both divisions computed here
What that length meansAt 24 bit and 96 kHz in stereo, 150 MB is over four minutes of audio. These are takes, not clips — the conversion is computed here from the stated format
Track layoutLo: L, R, Ls, Rs. Hi: Lh, Rh, LSh, RSh — eight labels in two tiers of four, the field’s own
Format24 bit / 96 kHz, WAV, Windows and Mac
Bought either wayThe field says the stereo version comes with the 3D Surround purchase, and is also sold on its own
02What The Field Namesforty-three keywords, three settlement types
Small towns, villages, suburbsThree settlement types, named in the first line and not expanded anywhere after it
North Sea to MediterraneanTwo seas as a bracket. No country is named anywhere in the field, so none is named here
Water, nine timesBay, boat, ferry, harbor, pier, riverside, seaside, waterfront and watermill — nine of the forty-three
Animals, five timesBark, birds, crickets, mooing and rooster — five of the forty-three, of which mooing and rooster are the two that name a farm animal
City, construction, sirenThree keywords naming the thing a rural collection is defined against. The field lists them and so does this page
WallaThe trade word for crowd murmur with no distinct words in it. The field lists it beside Voices and keeps the two apart
The design ruleGenuine atmospheres for each setting with nothing in the foreground — the field’s own stated constraint on what is in the recordings

An ambience is judged by what is not in it. The field’s single design promise is a negative one: no distraction in the foreground. That is also why the file count is small and the file size is not — 107 recordings at about 150 MB each are long enough to lie under a whole scene without looping.
