WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NATURE ROOMTONE, QUIET NATURE, AND ACTIVE NATURE LIBRARIES? 

• Nature Roomtones = natural soundscapes with zero fauna, sparse flora, and sparse water. Location non-specific because of zero wildlife. 
• Quiet Nature = natural soundscapes with sparse fauna, sparse flora, and sparse water. Geographically linked to a place because of wildlife.
• Active Nature = active fauna (wildlife), flora (usually wind), and water

96 kHz and 192 kHz: 

• I always record and archive at 192 kHz for conservation and preservation purposes. Sounds above 48 kHz are usually insects and bats.
  
• However, all sounds are delivered in 96 kHz unless there was useful frequency content present above 48 kHz. Then the audio is delivered at 192 kHz. 
• In these ambiences, no useful frequency content was present above 48 kHz. So all sounds are delivered at the 96 kHz sampling rate.

STEREO AND QUAD FILES:

• Stereo: front mid/side decoded to left and right. 
• Quad: double mid/side decoded to quad. 

STEREO ONLY FILES:

• These recording were made with LOM Usi and do not include a quad version.
• The "stereo only" files are included in the specs for the "Stereo Specs" below.
