Porto City Sounds

is one of our several recording travel project, recorded in Porto, Portugal during a 3 days visit to the country. Surround Sound LAB. Team traveled to Porto just to record the main essence of these cities!

This Library contains the main character of the lovely city. Boats, trains, wine and history in one of the most beautiful city in Portugal.

More than 2 hours of original and actual recordings. 27 original field recordings in Surround 5.1 , ST and Double MS RAW format (for custom editions).

Each ambience recorded in this library is at least 1-2 minutes long, so there is no need for looping ambience in your project!

This library was recorded in a Double MS mic configuration. This provides great postproduction possibilities.

”Double M/S” is an improved version of the well-known M/S stereo recording technique. In addition to a front facing cardioid or supercardioid ”mid” microphone and a figure-8 ”side” microphone, a rear-facing directional microphone is set up. The front- and rear-facing microphones share the signal of the figure-8 microphone so as to form two complete, back-to-back M/S systems. One M/S system then provides the three front channels (the center channel signal being provided directly by the mid microphone of the front system), while the other system provides the two surround channels. An arrangement of this kind allows flexible processing of the stereo surround image width and post-production adjustment for both of the M/S pairs.
