Boom Library – Tropical Forests

WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE

TROPICAL FORESTS is the seventh SFX library from our extraordinary series of high quality and fascinating nature recordings by Emmy-winner and nature recording genius Gordon Hempton. He has searched the globe for more than three decades to record nature at its most pristine.

CHARACTERISTICALLY DIVERSE DAYTIMES

The TROPICAL FORESTS library literally melts you into an exotic soundscape. You’ll find recordings of every time of the day, from dawn until dusk and throughout the whole night, with fine gradations to do justice to the ever-changing acoustic diversity of the forests.

INDIGENOUS ANIMALS AND WEATHER INCLUDED

These ambience recordings include various tropical animals such as birds (solo and duet), insects, frogs, monkeys, owls, cicadas or eagles. As a matter of course, the library comprises different weather conditions like various wind levels, dry or wet, rainfall and even a full 1.5 hour recording of a tropical thunderstorm.

GET THE SURROUND EXPERIENCE

Surround ambiences are the closest approach to nature’s true and original vivid sound. Once given the opportunity to unfold their true acoustic potential, these fabulous 5.0 surround recordings will surely keep you from accepting any less in the future.

WHAT WE RECORDED

To compile this unique treasure of TROPICAL FORESTS, Hampton spared no effort to collect and compile the immense diversity of cloud forests, rain forests and oceanic forests of Ecuador, Brazil, Belize, Australia and Sri Lanka.

WHAT’S SO SPECIAL ABOUT THIS LIBRARY?

TROPICAL FORESTS are loud and dense places – they receive large amounts of solar energy. The high species diversity of these nature reserves translates into more complex ambiences sometimes becoming symphonic with even dramatic wildlife vocalizations. So this collection delivers a real powerhouse of opportunities: It comes with recordings which you would never have thought to be within your reach, from areas far remote and inaccessible.

ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVIST & EMMY-WINNER

All of the nature sounds in the QUIET PLANET Nature SFX series were recorded by Gordon Hempton, The Sound Tracker, Emmy-winner, author of One Square Inch of Silence, and environmental activist. Faced with habitat loss, species extinction and most of all unbridled noise pollution, Hampton has now turned his attention towards saving the world’s few remaining natural amphitheaters.

COMPATIBLE SOFTWARE

BOOM Library sound FX come as WAV files, meaning you can import and work with them in any software that can handle this file type.

RICH METADATA EMBEDDED

To provide you with the fastest and easiest workflow possible, all files contain extensive metadata like file description & keywords to quickly find the sounds you’re looking for. Metadata can be read and processed by audio management tools. Some digital audio workstations feature an included search tool that can also read embedded metadata.
