Great sound has the power to transport an audience anywhere. With three new additions to our Dolby Atmos and Ambisonic collection, sound designers can now explore environments ranging from the deserts of the American Southwest to the open ocean and the landscapes of New Zealand, all captured in immersive spatial audio.

Nature Sounds of USA Southwest brings the region’s distinctive landscapes to life through deserts, forests, rivers, caves and open spaces. The collection features natural ambiences, wildlife, changing weather conditions and impulse responses captured in canyons, caverns, forests and other unique locations, giving sound designers an authentic foundation for building expansive environments.

For productions heading out onto the water, Ocean Sounds captures life above, below and around a variety of nautical crafts. From calm seas and choppy waves to engine rumbles, sail movements, hull impacts and onboard ambiences, the collection offers detailed perspectives for creating convincing marine environments and adding depth to nautical scenes.

Rounding out the new releases, Sounds of New Zealand showcases the rich sonic character of one of the world’s most recognizable natural environments. Capturing diverse locations and distinctive ambiences, the collection provides an immersive way to bring the atmosphere and character of New Zealand into film, television, games and other productions.

All three collections include Dolby Atmos, Ambisonic and Stereo versions, giving sound professionals the flexibility to work across traditional and immersive formats. Each library is also delivered with detailed UCS-compliant metadata, helping make searching and integrating sounds into your workflow simple.

Whether you’re building a vast desert, setting sail across open water or transporting audiences to New Zealand, these three new collections put immersive environments at the centre of your sound design.
