The 30-Day SFX Challenge

June 27, 2018 by Victor Zottmann

The 30-Day SFX Challenge

Sound effects libraries are the essential toolkit of every sound designer: they are convenient and practical. Furthermore, in a time where deadlines seem to get shorter and shorter, why would one bother to hike their way into field recording when we have all the tools we need within a click from our reach? As with every overindulgence, relying on sound effects libraries for too … [Read more...]

Sunday Sound Thought 74 – The Evolving Lexicon

May 28, 2017 by Rev. Dr. Bradley D Meyer

I’ve actually spent some time this month thinking about terminology and lingo since it was the monthly theme. And in that odd phenomenon that is synchronicity, it seemed to follow me around.

A Second Look at the Hybrid Library

December 5, 2013 by Shaun Farley

A Second Look at the Hybrid Library

Earlier this year, I reviewed the Hybrid Library from Pro Sound Effects. Overall, it was a fairly positive review. While I was impressed with the library, I also pointed out some of its rough edges. The primary focus of the review was on the library's metadata and how it would affect work-flow. I won't go into heavy detail on the process here, as you can simply lick on the link … [Read more...]
