Accurate outdoor impulse responses are nearly impossible to record naturally, which is where this library earns its spot in the toolfarm catalog. Its modeled responses span locations from canyons to city alleys with varying distances, and a demo video is available.
Fields & Spaces: Outdoor Impulse Responses - Surround from BOOM Library is a set of 123 impulse responses for use in third-party convolution reverb plugins. The surround pack includes the impulse responses in both stereo and quad surround. Rather than being recorded on location, the responses are modeled, a process developed after two years of studying how sound behaves across different places and surfaces, and they carry a near-infinite signal-to-noise ratio.
The collection spans natural and urban environments. Natural impulse responses include canyons, forests, hills, and mountains with varying ground materials and distances, while urban responses cover bridges, squares, streets, alleys, ports, courtyards, dams, castles, and underpasses. Most locations offer multiple distances chosen to suit each setting: a medium canyon runs 0–30–40–70 meters, a long alley 0–70–120 meters, and a tighter forest pit 0–10 meters.
Files ship as 24-bit WAV at 48–96 kHz for Windows and Mac, with the surround set totaling around 7 GB. Because they are WAV files, they can be imported into any software that handles the format, and the library is also available in stereo and ambisonic versions.
Boom Library Fields & Spaces: Outdoor Impulse Responses - Surround is best for sound designers and editors adding convolution reverb to place effects or dialogue in outdoor natural and urban settings.
Boom Library Fields & Spaces: Outdoor Impulse Responses - Surround is completely free to download and use.

Fields & Spaces: Outdoor Impulse Responses - Surround comes as WAV files, so it works in any software that can import that format. BOOM Library lists common audio tools including Logic Pro, Cubase, Nuendo, Ableton Live, Pro Tools, and Reaper, plus video editors such as Premiere Pro and Final Cut. To hear the responses in a mix, you load them into a third-party convolution reverb plugin, which applies the reverb to your effects or dialogue.
Fields & Spaces: Outdoor Impulse Responses - Surround supplies impulse responses that you load into a third-party convolution reverb plugin. Because most effects and dialogue are not recorded on site, adding the right reverb makes a sound seem captured in a real space, such as a canyon, a city street, or a forest. Most locations include multiple distances suited to the setting, from close intervals in a forest pit to longer spacings across a canyon or alley, so you can match the perceived distance of a source.
Fields & Spaces: Outdoor Impulse Responses - Surround is listed as free here in the catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so check the developer's page for current details before you download it or build it into a project. The surround package includes 123 impulse responses in stereo and quad surround as 24-bit WAV files, around 7 GB in total, for both Windows and Mac.
