Is there a place in the Dutch landscape still really quiet? Surrounded by roads and forests, there is a nature reserve which is perhaps one of the quietest spots in the Netherlands. But every morning, the silence is overtaken by skylarks, blue tits, geese, crows and even more singing birds. Waterfowls and frogs swim along the lakes. In the forest, needles fall out of the pine trees on the soft ground, and leaves gently rustle on the soft wind.

From time to time, traffic can be heard very gently to indicate that we are not far from the inhabited world, but that is also the sound of the rural surroundings of the densely populated Netherlands.
 
Dutch Landscapes are recorded in First-order Ambisonic.

24 high-quality, special encoded Ambix files, and the same amount of binaural files containing each 165 minutes of nature, recorded in Spring on an early morning at Dwingelderveld in The Netherlands, a national park surrounded by distant roads and laying in a rural and sparsely populated environment.

 
These genuine, high-quality, and real-life spatial audio files are the perfect sounds for any Game, Film, TV, VR or other immersive media that needs the real feel of the Dutch Landscape.

This library is UCS compliant. All files contain extensive metadata which can de read and processed by the most common audio libraries management systems.

Ambisonic and Binaural Audio

 These sounds have been recorded with a calibrated Sennheiser AMBEO VR Microphone and a Sound Devices Mixpre6II recorder.

The raw A-format files have been encoded to B-Format AmbiX with VVEncode and the personal calibration files for the used AMBEO mic, calibrated by Core-Sound LLC, for the most natural-sounding Ambisonic files possible.

No processing except very little Ambisonic EQ-ing has been done.

The B-format AmbiX files can be easily converted and be used for Dolby Atmos, Object-based or any Surround channel-based format with plug-ins like Harpex-X, or the free Soundfield Plugin.

The Binaural files have been binauralized using Harpex-X with HRTF-set: KU100.
