Schoeps ORTF-3D, 8 supercardioidsStereo version included96 kHz WAV, 24 bit

Autumn is the one season that is mostly audible rather than visible: the ground changes texture and everything walking on it changes with it.

Dry foliage underfoot, crickets and cicadas running down, coyotes at a distance, wind moving through trees that no longer damp it. Recorded in full 360° on a Schoeps ORTF3D set, so the same session delivers 3D Surround or plain stereo.

At a Glance

  • 103 files in the 3D set 206 in all with the included stereo version — 103 + 103 = 206, which closes exactly
  • 72+ GB, or 90+ GB with stereo the stereo edition sold alone is 18+ GB, and 72 + 18 = 90 closes too
  • Both sums check out files and size agree in both directions, which is not something every supplier sheet manages
  • Eight supercardioid microphones a cuboid ORTF-3D setup: four low, four high, adding a height layer over the surround plane
  • Free of human noise the field states the recordings carry no noise pollution and no air traffic
  • Named target formats Auro 3D, Dolby Atmos, 360° video and VR, where head rotation and tilt must stay convincing

02Why 3D Surroundthe two advantages the field claims▾
LocationConventional surround gives a diffuse image; 3D Surround lets a source be pinpointed and followed
The third dimensionA height layer, so sound arrives from above as well as from the side
The rigThe Schoeps ORTF-3D setup — a cuboid 8-channel level and time difference ambience array
The microphonesEight supercardioids, four low and four high
What it buysWider spatial range, clearer depth, a more natural surround impression and better envelopment
Where it matters mostVR, where the scene must hold up through every rotation and tilt of the head
03What Is In Itthe season, and the keyword list as printed▾
The autumn castRustling dry foliage, crickets and cicadas, and the howling of lonely coyotes
The landscapesPrairie dawn, lake night, alpine valley, sagebrush, pine grove and desert morning
Times of dayFrom the stillness of early morning to the busier afternoon
Intended forFilm, games and nature documentary, where a season has to read without being shown

A season is a sound before it is a colour. Dry leaves change what every footstep, every gust and every animal underneath them sounds like — which is why autumn has to be recorded rather than assembled out of summer.
