BOOM Library release Thunderstorm Chaser SFX Collection

BOOM Library has released Thunderstorm Chaser SFX Collection.

Here's what they say:

New Thunderstorm Chaser is one of BOOM Library's most ambitious sound effects libraries to date. It delivers a huge collection of authentic thunderstorm recordings, capturing the full force and nuance of nature's most dramatic phenomena.

Capturing the raw power of thunderstorms is among the most challenging feats in sound design. Recorded over a period spanning six years and thousands of miles, this library is the result of field recordist Matt Mikkelsen's relentless pursuit of sonic perfection.

Mikkelsen spent months each year tracking storm systems across the United States, consulting meteorologists, and braving extreme conditions to capture thunder in its purest form. His journey, marked by perseverance and even a near-death experience from a lightning strike, underscores the rarity and value of this library. Furthermore, Thunderstorm Chaser was recorded using the highly acclaimed SCHOEPS ORTF-3D setup, an 8-channel array designed to provide exceptional spatial fidelity.

While aimed primarily at sound designers for film, television, and games, Thunderstorm Chaser also serves professionals in theatre, museum installations, education, and natural history documentaries.
