WAves Wind water
This brand new collection of ambiences is a huge technological leap forward for us. Presented in Ambisonics, it’s ideal for use in VR or 360 video applications. The real beauty of this format, though, is the flexibility it provides the user to output such disparate formats as stereo, binaural, 5.1 surround, 7.1 surround and more. Furthermore, it’s possible to pick a listener perspective for any of these potential outputs.
When Plants Attack!
After working on a string of projects, we realized that almost every one of them needed the same thing: plant foley. After dragging messy plants, dirt, and bugs into the foley pit several times we hit on an idea - Let's just make one REALLY big mess and record every possible interaction with every plant we could find. The result was over two hundred discrete files (totaling over 3GB) and thousands of performances of high quality plant foley. Plus, a giant mess comprised of completely destroyed plant matter.
NXNW CASCADIA 2017
This library of environmental recordings is the culmination of three recording expeditions to the stunningly gorgeous Pacific Northwest. We visited a variety of locations ranging from urban Vancouver, Portland, and Seattle to the wild and untamed Olympic Peninsula. We captured dynamically disparate sounds such as a noisy Seattle shipyard and the quietest location in the continental US - deep within the primordial Hoh Rainforest. There are excellent crowd wallas, and contemplative mountain streams. From beaches to mountaintops to luxury high rises no environment was left un-recorded! This is what the Northwest sounds like!
To date, Blackguard Sound has released 22 commercially available sound effects libraries, totaling 6,700+ files or about 24,000 individual sounds.
Here’s our three part sound effects recording philosophy:
1) Technical execution should be flawless. High quality mics plugged into high quality pre-amps. We apply considerable care to details such as mic placement, environmental control, good signal to noise ratio, etc. Raw recordings are 32-bit to preserve maximum dynamic range for post processing. Hardware synths are superior to soft synths and there is no substitute for analog tape.
2) Sounds should be highly usable. It’s great to have a recording of a rare species of bird walking across a piano during a rainstorm, but will you ever use it? Our aim is to provide sound editors and designers with valuable “go to” sounds for their core libraries.
3) All recordings should be presented with high sample rates, and UCS compliant metadata tagging. We enter a minimum of 13 fields of metadata per file.
