Greetings Patrons,
I'd like to introduce the latest member of our growing SoundPad family, Age of Sail.
I've been wanting to do a nautical themed SoundPad for awhile now. Age of Sail is a collection of 28 utility sounds (plus 3 musical tracks) that can be combined to simulate a...

Dungeons are like taverns. Or maybe potato chips. Anyway, you can't really have enough. I've already made a dungeon, ingeniously named 'Dungeon I', and a dungeon SoundPad (now with traps!) so naturally I figured it was time to make another.
Dungeon II: Mechanical is full of gears and plates and things that go clank in t...

Greetings patrons,
I present, the start of so many great adventures, and an endearing RPG trope in its own right, the humble tavern.
I've actually already done 2 tavern ambiences but I still get requests for them. As you know, I write each of these requests down and yet, I can honestly say that I will ...

After our unusually balmy December, the weather gods finally decided to get with the program and lower the temperature - drastically. I was out of town last weekend with my family, about 2 hours outside of NYC, and couldn't resist bringing my small recording rig with me to see if I could capture some nature recordings.
Happy New Year everyone! I decided to start 2016 with a fairly frequent request, and, frankly, one that I needed a little convincing to do.
Lively Cafe, was created from a handful of field recordings in Brooklyn coffee shops and bistros. Turns out, it takes a surprising amount of editing to keep the audible conversation...

As the end of the year approaches, and the temperature in New York City hovers in the high 50's, I desperately needed something to get me in the holiday spirit.
There is something about Currier & Ives' holiday cards which always seemed to convey an idealized version of the seasons, so this ambience, 'Winter Festival' ...

I haven't done a music track in a while, and while I do enjoy making them, they present unique challenges for my 'everything is 10 minutes long' format. I decided that this track, Dark City, would be a modern TV style background bed. The kind that's often used as a subtle momentum aide. A scene that may not be full-on ac...

In the world of role-playing games there is quite possibly no location as iconic as the humble sewer.
Countless level-1 characters have had to descend into the watery, reverberant depths to slay rats, retrieve keys or rescue a pet. No self-respecting adventurer's bona fides are com...

Greetings Patrons,
As promised, here's the latest SoundPad, Combat.
Combat is a medieval/fantasy fight simulator and is a little different than the other SoundPad offerings in that it's the first one that isn't location based. My idea for Combat was to present a selection of utility sounds that could be used to en...

I'm working on a new combat-centric SoundPad (fantasy/medieval) and had made some trap sounds that seemed to be an obvious fit in a dungeon, so, along with some other under-the-hood tweaks I've added them to 'The Dungeon'. You can find them listed under 'Events' in the category filter.
Thanks for your continued support!<...

When I first got a request for a wrestling/lucha type ambience I wasn't sure. About any of it really. I kind of knew about Mexico's masked wrestlers, but it was mostly through parody, or quick site gags in comedy films. But actually going down the rabbit hole - watching fights, reading about the history and the culture, was..eye...

I wasn't going to do a second Halloween ambience, but in my search for inspirational images I came upon this one, an engraving by R. Thew based on a painting by H. Fuseli (1789). It's such an evocative illustration of the ghost atop Elsinore that I had to go back and read the original scene. There are many film adaptations of Ha...

Greeting Patrons,
New SoundPad is online today! Olde Towne is an audio medieval city/village simulator. It's got everything you need for creating small hamlets to bustling walled cities. Using the new 'save scene' feature you can create multiple environments using a handful of sounds and switch between them with a click of you...

2 years in a row is a tradition, right? Good. So my tradition of releasing a Halloween themed ambience in October continues with this years' track, "Nightmare". I had a blast working on this one, although I did have to stop every hour or so and watch Bugs Bunny cartoons so I didn't go kooky! I know lot's of folks have spec...

Greetings Patrons,
I wanted to share a new feature that I added to all the SoundPads. You now have the ability to save groups of sounds as scenes or macros.
It's really simple to use. You'll notice a new "Save Scene" button above the category filter. Just load up some sounds, adjust their volumes and click ...

Greetings Patrons,
I've been working on some new functionality for the SoundPads lately and I needed to take a break from writing code. Ambiences are such a different part of the brain that it makes it really easy to switch between the two disciplines. I wanted to do something fun and lively and decided that a 'Roaring 2...

Greeting Patrons,
I've uploaded a new ambience today called "Blacksmith Shoppe". A fair number of you have requested this recently and I thought it would be fun to flesh out my medieval town. Naturally this track can be used for fantasy, historical or even modern day settings. Truth be told, I've never been to a mod...

I've just finished putting the finishing touches on the latest SoundPad, called Starship. This is my 3rd SoundPad and the first one that is firmly rooted in a Sci-Fi universe. I think Starship will work well in a wid...

Hopefully your summer is going well. I'm just dropping you a quick note to let you know that there are a couple of new ambiences online at tabletopaudio.com. "Steampunk Airship" and "Medieval Battle".
A few weeks ago I released a track ba...

I'm releasing the 2nd SoundPad interactive audio tool today. It's called "Dark Forest". It should work great for fantasy and horror games. As always, I'd love to hear how you use it.
Thank you so much for the support this month!
