BOOM Library dropped a new sound pack built from field recordings that Matt Mikkelsen grabbed during two separate trips to Florida swamps over three years. The collection centers on wild gators making territorial calls at different ranges, and it also brings dense bug layers, wading bird activity, mud textures, and long ambient takes captured in brutal heat and moisture.
The crew studied cypress zones and open wetlands before setting up ORTF 3D rigs that pulled in over 150 hours of raw audio. The gator bellows stand out because they capture actual wild behavior instead of zoo recordings, and the difference in tone is apparently pretty noticeable. The pack also features unbroken ambient recordings that follow environmental shifts from dawn through storms.
The stereo version runs about 79 euros on intro pricing through late December, and the surround edition goes for 223 euros. Everything ships as 24-bit, 96kHz files.
