Australian Lakes Active Nature

Australian Lakes: Active Nature is a collection of recordings made around Lake Nuga Nuga, in the remote Central Highlands Region of Queensland. Recorded over several days after having recently rained, the area was alive with active vibrant birdlife and insects. Several recordings were done using dual microphone setups, with stereo and shotgun mics used to capture both a wide stereo atmosphere and a focused mono, close perspective on the birds. These recordings are phase aligned so can be used in LCR if desired, however are provided as a separate mono and stereo file. Ranging from pre-dawn to evening, all recordings are meticulously mastered with sound designers and FX editors in mind, including extensive UCS metadata and species identified where possible. A separate folder includes several individual bird calls, some removed and mastered from the longer recordings, and some as standalone where a longer atmosphere wasn’t desirable. Identified bird species include:

• Brown Honeyeater
• Willie Wagtail
• Whistling Kite
• Australasian Darter
• Pied Butcherbird
• Grey Shrikethrush
• Magpie Lark
• Masked Lapwing
• Pelican
• Black Swan
• Restless Flycatcher
• Sacred Kingfisher
• White Throated Triller
• Magpie
• Glossy Black Cockatoo
• Australian Reed Warbler
