WAV | 96 kHz / 24 bit – 5,3 GB
Water Flow声音库花了我大约六个月的时间来记录，消耗了约15瓶热水和42升汽油才能到达所有地点。它提供了记录在不同位置的90个BWAV文件。这个图书馆的很大一部分是基于河流上的录音会议。最近五个月定期录制的两个完全不同的位置使我能够创建这个独特的声音库。大多数录音会议都在冬季进行，正好在太阳升起之前，以减少不必要的声音。几乎所有记录都是完全清晰的，只有很少的背景有鸟，因为我打算记录一些具有自然背景的环境。
我记录的第一个位置是一条叫Łyna的河，在那里记录了水以不同速度流下的声音，以及大坝的声音降低了河水的速度和流量。该位置的第二个有趣部分是水中倒下的树木数量。您可以在下面提供的图片中看到，河中的木材数量导致水分流。因此，有很多令人感兴趣的地方可供记录。
第二条河称为古柏（Guber），比Łyna小得多。我之所以选择这个地方，是因为水流真的很微妙，还有一些由海狸建造的自然水坝，它们甚至更神奇。这些动物建造这些水坝的工作量令人难以置信。我不会错过这个机会，并且在这些地点组织了3次录音会议。一切发生在二月，大约是太阳升起前一小时。我认为必须提及的是，大多数位置都是用不同的立体声配置录制的，例如M-S，XY或ORTF。甚至使用DPA 4061麦克风将一些声音记录下来，这些麦克风被放置在离非常小的水非常近的地面上，滴落在树叶和地面上。这个声音库不仅有水从扬声器中流出，而且还有许多令人愉悦的纹理。
除了记录的河流外，该图书馆还包括下水道内滴水的声音。在我的一次实地考察旅行中，我发现了一个舱口。我忍不住要进去，发现的东西远远超出了我的期望。我在那里进行了两次小旅行，用不同的单声道和立体声麦克风从不同的距离录制下来。
记录该库是具有挑战性的，并且非常令人满意。我花了很多时间来搜寻区域，研究地图以寻找理想的位置。同时编辑那些优美的音效真的很轻松。收听预览，观看视频，体验在录制会话期间拍摄的一些照片，并查看声音列表，以了解该声音库中到底隐藏了什么。 “水流”肯定充满了各种不同的水声效果，但尚未完成。我正前往波兰的完全不同的地方，录制大瀑布，甚至更大的水坝，所以敬请期待将来的免费更新。
用来录制此声音库的设备：声音设备702，Rode NTG3、2个Oktava MK012，Oktava 8形适配器，Oktava XY / ORTF适配器，2个DPA 4061，Sony PCM-M10。
Water Flow sound library took me about six months to record, consumed about 15 thermoses of tea and 42 litres of gasoline to get to all locations. It offers 90 BWAV files recorded in different locations. Huge part of this library is based on the recording sessions on the rivers. Two completely different locations, recorded regularly for the last 5 months allowed me to create this unique sound library. Most of the recording sessions took place during winter just before the sun was rising to reduce the amount of unwanted sounds. Almost all recordings are completely clear and only few have birds in background, since it was my intention to record some location ambients with natural backgrounds.
First location I’ve recorded was river called Łyna, and there I’ve recorded a sound of water flowing down with different speeds, along with sound of dam reducing the speed and high of the rivers flow. The second interesting part of this location was the amount of fallen trees in the water. As you can see on the pictures I’ve provided below, the amount of wood in river caused the water to split. Because of this, there was a lot of sonically interesting places to record.
The second river is called Guber, and it’s much smaller than Łyna. I’ve picked this place because of the really subtle water streams, and something even more amazing, natural dams built by beavers. The amount of work these animals put to built those dams is incredible. I couldn’t miss the opportunity, and I’ve organised 3 recording sessions in those locations. All took place in February, about one hour before the sun rise. I think it’s important to mention, that most of the locations was recorded with different stereo configurations like M-S, XY or ORTF. Some of the sounds were even recorded with DPA 4061 microphones put into the ground very close to super small streams of water, dripping on the leaves and ground. This sound library is not only water flowing out of your speakers, but also a lot of pleasurable textures.
In addition to recorded rivers, this library also includes the sound of water dripping inside the sewers. During one of my field recording trips I’ve discovered a hatch. I could not resist to go inside, and what I’ve discover there was far beyond my expectations. I made a two small trips there to record it from different distances with different microphones in mono and stereo.
Recording this library was challenging and very satisfying. I’ve spent a great time scouting areas, studying maps to find perfect locations. Also editing those beautiful sound effects was really relaxing. Listen to preview, watch a video, experience some of the photos I’ve took during recording sessions and check the sound list to know what exactly is hidden behind this sound library. Water Flow is definitely full of different water sound effects, but it’s not completed. I’m on my way to completely different parts of Poland to record big waterfalls and even bigger water dams, so stay tuned for free updates in the future.
Gear used to record this sound library: Sound Devices 702, Rode NTG3, 2x Oktava MK012, Oktava figure of 8 adapter, Oktava XY/ORTF adapter, 2x DPA 4061, Sony PCM-M10.
