Download Noise at the Concert

This sample collection features various audience and stage noises recorded before and during different classical music concerts. It can be useful for sound design, but also to composers that want to add a touch of realism to their MIDI mock-ups.

Weighting in at over 1 GB, this collection contains a total of 124 samples subdivided into eight sets that include the usual "moments of waiting" before a piece (chattering, stage noise, paper noise, coughs, etc.), and of course different kinds of applause.

Technical Details:

All sounds are 24bit/44.1KHz stereo files. A sampleset is also available at the higher sampling rate of 96KHz. This last one has been recorded from two positions (in front of the ensemble/orchestra and on the stage) that can be used alone or mixed at your taste to obtain a different balance between the two recordings. This particular approach makes it suitable for surround productions also.

Audio Examples:

Demo 1 features various soundfiles taken from the different samplesets available in this collection.

Demo 2 is a mix created with the "front/stage" set. "Front mics" and "Stage mics" recordings are mixed with different proportions (Front only, Front + Stage mix, Stage only). This example contains some "bips".
