Randi Altman's postPerspective Reviews NYC Ambisonics Sound Effects Library

Written by Andrew Emge | Feb 8, 2016 3:57:19 PM

Produced and recorded by Pro Sound Effects, NYC Ambisonics is a sound effects library of New York City ambiences recorded with a SoundField microphone.

The Ambisonics format allows sound editors and mixers to tweak “virtual microphones” in real time with bundled software from TSL Products. This means the recordings can be decoded to mono, stereo, 5.1, 7.1 & more!

Since its release in July 2015, NYC Ambisonics has become one of our most popular niche libraries.

A review of NYC Ambisonics was recently featured on Randi Altman's postPerspective.

Written by Michael Hanish (owner of Free Lunch Media, a multimedia production house based in Vermont), the review discusses practical applications for the library + software combination as well as the quality and detail of the recordings:

"Using this library in a couple of small post projects and experiments was even better than I imagined or expected...since these files are so clear and detailed and contain so much information, I was able to mix them in for suggestion as well as for more concrete documentation."
