Raw Horses

November 2020. During last year´s Covid Pandemic lockdown, we took all our gear and visited “Entorno Doñana” equestrian facility in Boalo, Madrid.

Blacktone Studio Sound Team lead by Barto Alcaine & Alvaro de Iscar recorded this amazing library in full Multi-mic method. We covered Doñana´s horses with 3 shotgun mics (MKH416, Shoeps CMIT & MKH8070). We also mounted two Lectrosonic systems to the main horse; one on the belly and another one on the mouth.

Trot, Gallop, single horse, group and pair of horses and several surfaces: Grass, dirt, asphalt and even water! We covered every posible movement the horse could perform. Also some nice neighing & buffing!

We always found it difficult to find good horse samples in our library, so now, with this new library, we think that we have recorded everything we always needed in our projects! And in 96Khz High Quality Sample Rate !!

All the sounds that this collection is composed of include metadata in English and Spanish, and they are compatible with software of sound library management like Soundminnner.

All our libraries are UCS compliant ( universalcategorysystem.com ). In this new category system all files contain extensive metadata like file description, Category & Subcategory. Metadata can be read and processed by the most common audio libraries management tools . Starting with Full support from Soundminer and more audio tools adopting this system, we are adopting metadata UCS system in our files!
