Hzandbits Sound Effects has announced the release of Berlin Ambiances 1, a sound library featuring 114 minutes/3.69 GB of pure Berlin in 31 separate files, recorded mostly in 24bit/96kHz quasi-binaural stereo, with Primo EM172 omni capsules.

This collection contains stealth recordings of various Berlin locations, including a good deal of train sounds and, well, Berliners!

I went to locations such as the Bodemuseum (crazy natural reverbs), the Hauptbanhhof (enormous, diffuse train station-ambiance) and Haus der Kulturen der Welt (great restaurant vibe and busy foyer). All this captured during January 2015, with a head-worn set of near- or quasi-binaural microphones.

Berlin Ambiances 1 features

  • People, places and trains!
  • Interiors and exteriors.
  • Secure Amazon S3-powered download.

The sound library is available for purchase for $32 USD.
