ORTF-3D, 8 micsStereo version includedRoyalty-free

Every season, nature offers an impressive and multi-faceted composition. Winter captures the most interesting and iconic of them, recorded the only way that reflects the sonic character of Earth precisely: the Schoeps ORTF-3D surround set.

As snow covers the landscape and wildlife adapts to the harsh conditions, the character of the surroundings audibly changes — calm breezes, chilling tonal wind, the faint sound of trickling snowflakes, freezing rivers at various distances, biting storms and subtle animal activity.

03Set the Stage for Emotionshow it is used
Either directionEase an audience into a blissful escapist nature documentary, or raise the suspense in a bitterly cold finale
Under everything elseIt supplements existing dialogue, music, narration or sound effects very well
Or aloneIt also sounds excellent on its own — for instance when opening a scene, before any other audible cue sets in

Winter is mostly what stopped. The cold reads as an absence — fewer birds, water halfway to silence — which is why it has to be recorded on location rather than assembled from what a summer forest left behind.
