BOOM Library Boom Seasons of Earth European Summer - 3D Surround

As Springs shifts to Summer, the bird choirs change to solitary signals and thunder rolls across the hills as the cicadas sing their farewells into the night and the wolves gather for their hunt.

The character of the EUROPEAN SUMMER focuses on capturing the spirit of Europe’s summer in stunning detail. The season in Europe expresses itself through its different and unique birds, wolves, insects, weather, and much more.

EXPERIENCE THE ENCHANTING REALM OF NATURE

The great outdoors is in full activity and evokes the beauty of Europe’s natural atmospheres. With the rains of the north balanced by softly rustling leaves in the Mediterranean winds, this library provides a surprisingly diverse ecosystem, rich with unique sonic life.

From the flowing waters of Europe’s highest waterfall to the buzzing calls of the migratory nightjar in Sweden, the soft winds and growling thunder of a brewing summer storm – the landscape provides a unique palette of sounds that truly set EUROPEAN SUMMER apart.

COMPLETE AND TOTAL IMMERSION

Recorded in stunning 360° using a Schoeps ORTF3D Set, listeners are brought into the all-enveloping world of the European countryside. All the included sounds were perfectly balanced by our skilled recordist, who scoped out the perfect places and waited for the right times to be completely free from human noise, capturing nature’s hidden gems like the whistled beep of a scops owl.

STEREO VERSION INCLUDED

The stereo version features identical sound material as the 3D version. It is also included when you buy the 3D Surround set.

WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT 3D SURROUND?

3D Surround has two enormous advantages over conventional surround sound. On the one hand, individual sound sources can be located much better and more clearly with 3D Surround. On the other hand, 3D Surround also reflects height differences much better. This results in a more extensive and much clearer sound image in a quality that cannot be achieved with conventional surround sound.

Regular Surround - HIGH-PRECISION SOUND LOCATION

Conventional surround sound often provides a somewhat diffuse image of the sound source, making it hard to precisely pinpoint the direction where the sound is coming from and where it is moving to. 3D Surround draws a crystal-clear picture of the source recording for a complete sound experience.

3D Surround - THE 3RD DIMENSION – SUITED FOR VR & DOLBY ATMOS

3D Surround adds a height layer as a third dimension compared to regular surround. The sound not only reaches the listener’s ear from the side, but also from above. This results in a much better localization of the sound source and a much more immersive listening experience which makes it the perfect surround type for VR applications and Dolby Atmos.

RECORDED WITH THE MOST ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

Our 3D Surround libraries are recorded with the highly-acclaimed SCHOEPS ORTF-3D setup, a cuboid 8ch level/time difference ambience setup. The main benefit is an additional height layer compared to regular surround recording setups. It consists of 8 supercardioid microphones.

The height layer offers a much wider range of spatial sound effects and a more realistic three-dimensional reproduction. Therefore, it provides a clearer representation of spatial depth, a more natural surround impression, improved envelopment, and an authentic feel.
