Room tones are a crucial part of the audio post-production workflow. With the increasing use of immersive formats like Dolby Atmos, having immersive sound effects with height components really helps. Here is your chance to download a free library with 60 files in B-Format Ambix and native dummy head binaural formats.
Immersive Room Tones by Krilloud is a collection of immersive room tones recorded at Polo Digital, based in Malaga, Spain.
The rooms tones in this free library vary from a very quiet room to a busy and noisy server room. Each location has been recorded in ambisonics A-Format Ambix (converted to B-Format Ambix) and native binaural (dummy head). The ambisonics recordings were made using a Sennheiser AMBEO VR Mic and a Tascam DR 701d recorder, and the binaural recordings were made using a custom dummy head (Ernest) and a Tascam DR 100 MK III recorder.
