Pro Sound Effects Releases New York City Ambisonics Library

Pro Sound Effects, the Next Level sound effects library, announces its newest library -- NYC Ambisonics -- is available now for pre-order. When previewed in April at NAB 2015, the press dubbed it "the future of sound effects libraries." NYC Ambisonics is a 35GB sound effects library that comes with software from TSL Products that allows a sound editor to point "virtual microphones" in any direction and with a variety of polar patterns for greater control and creativity.

"NYC Ambisonics represents our ongoing commitment to next-generation technology," says Douglas Price, CEO of Pro Sound Effects. "We continually strive to make the sound effects workflow faster, easier, and above all, more creative for working professionals."

Produced and recorded in 24-bit/96kHz high-resolution by Pro Sound Effects, NYC Ambisonics was recorded throughout New York City, including Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan. Using a four-capsule SoundField microphone to capture the ambiences from all angles, the Ambisonics format allows sound editors and mixers to manipulate the sound effects in real time with software to create virtually endless perspectives within a scene. The Ambisonics recordings can be decoded to mono, stereo, 5.1, 7.1 and beyond.

"Since New York City is featured in so many films and television shows and has such an interesting and diverse soundscape, we thought it was the perfect theme for our first Ambisonics library," says David Forshee, Pro Sound Effects library specialist and producer of NYC Ambisonics. "Hearing NYC in Ambisonics is simply incredible. When listening to traditionally recorded ambiences, I'm often curious about what the rest of the soundscape is like. Now with NYC Ambisonics, I'm in in complete control of where the mic is pointed."
