While living in Chiangmai, Thailand, I had the opportunity to visit the Mae Kampong Waterfall during the rainy season when the waterfalls were at their strongest. Known as a must-see destination, the 7-level waterfall is located near the Maepong Village and Doi Mon Lan trek, and if you’re lucky, you can even hear the sounds of gibbons in the early morning.

During my visit, I explored and recorded the sounds of the waterfall. My goal was to capture the sounds from as many plateaus of the waterfall as possible, starting from the top and working my way down. This waterfall sound library includes five recordings in total, four of which were recorded with the Zoom F4 in 192/24 and one recording with the Zoom H6 in 96/24. 

I used a variety of techniques and equipment, such as my DPA 4060 with long cables to get as close as possible to the stream, and placing the microphones left and right apart to capture different perspectives.

This library is ideal for those working on nature documentaries, meditation and relaxation projects. The authentic sounds of the waterfall and stream provide a natural and immersive listening experience, making it perfect for film, video and music production.
