Earns its place for unprocessed ORTF 3D field recordings that keep their natural tonal identity, giving editors a clean baseline that holds up when stretched, layered or repitched.
BOOM Library Swamps is a swamp sound effects collection recorded across two expeditions to Florida over three years by field recordist Matt Mikkelsen. It documents frog sounds, alligator behaviour, shifting insect beds, reed movement and natural squelch textures, captured with BOOM's ORTF 3D system using SCHOEPS microphones and Sound Devices recorders.
The recordings document wildlife as it behaves in the wild. Frogs appear at several distances, wading birds such as egrets and ibises are captured feeding, and alligator calls include close and distant territorial bellows. The material is free from heavy processing or noise reduction, keeping its natural tonal identity intact. That leaves a clean baseline for EQ, dynamics and spatial work, and it holds up when stretched, layered or repitched.
Content ranges from close-up mud movement and squelch textures to wide ambiences covering dawn, night and passing storm conditions, with long-form recordings across varied environments. Files are delivered as WAV at 24-bit, 96 kHz for Windows and Mac, available in 3D Surround and Stereo versions, each with PDF and XLS metadata.
BOOM Library Swamps is best for sound designers and editors building realistic atmospheres or immersive, multi-channel swamp and wetland sound design across audio and video software.
BOOM Library Swamps is completely free to download and use.
BOOM Library Swamps ships as WAV files at 24-bit, 96 kHz for Windows and Mac. The 3D Surround set contains 144 files at 46.8 GB, rising to 216 files and 58.5 GB when the stereo version is included. A standalone Stereo set holds 72 files at 11.7 GB. Both come with PDF and XLS metadata documenting the content, so you can browse and sort the library before dropping files into a session.
BOOM Library Swamps comes as WAV files, so it imports into any application that reads that format. Commonly used hosts include Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro X, After Effects, Vegas Pro, Media Composer, Soundminer and Basehead, and the files follow the Universal Category System for metadata. That range covers most common audio and video editing environments used for post work.
BOOM Library Swamps was recorded with BOOM's ORTF 3D configuration for stable localisation and phase integrity in immersive formats. The 3D Surround track layout uses lower channels L, R, Ls, Rs and higher channels Lh, Rh, LSh, RSh. Natural elevation and width cues from vegetation, insects and water movement translate well, and the library is optimized for Atmos and VR. Consistent array spacing and gain structure across sessions let recordings intercut cleanly in longer scenes.
BOOM Library Swamps is listed as free in this catalog. Sound library licensing terms can carry specific usage conditions and may change over time, so for the definitive details it is best to check the developer's page at BOOM Library. There you can confirm the current arrangement covering how the swamp recordings may be used in your projects before you download and start working with them.
