An Aquarian Audio HD2 hydrophone and a Zoom F8 used for recording underwater ambiences of rivers, lakes and swamps.

A big thank you to Benjamin Feuillade for letting me borrow this microphone and for kindly providing wonderful extra recordings of rain, ocean waves and water streams.

 

MELODIC INSTRUMENTS

Over 40 melodic instruments playable over 4 octaves

EFFECTS AND UNDERWATER IMPULSE RESPONSES

The signal chain uses a double reverb configuration:

REVERB1 (INSERT) > STEREO WIDTH > FILTERS > EQ > SATURATION > COMPRESSION > REVERB2 (SEND)

Most of the sounds are recorded close, with a very flexible dry sound. A clever chain of effects with two custom IR reverbs lets you finely craft your own sounds and perfectly integrate them into your mix! The first reverb is used as insert at the beginning of the signal chain, before the other effects. Four custom underwater Impulse Responses let you instantly replicate the effect of an underwater recording!

The second reverb is used as a send effect, at the last position in the signal chain.

 

A splendid library like no other!
