Sound Ideas: Cinematic Design SFX deal til 23/1/18

Post by Guy Rowland »

I'm downloading this as I type. Sound Ideas are one of the bigger most established names in the business, and I have quite a bit of their stuff I routinely use. Via Audioplugin deals they have 3 sets at $99 for a week (nb - European customers, no VAT is added):

Destructables (1,600 SFX0

HD Metallic Sounds (204 SFX0

Androids and Robots (263 SFX)

I have quite a few libraries from Sound Ideas, too many to mention really. The one thing I didn't invest in was Series 6000, just never felt like I needed it. However, these three have some wonderful material, and even on sale at SI any one of them would be more than the bundle, so I grabbed it too. Their download tool works better than any I've run across! Great company, and if you are looking for cool effects, or raw material to roll your own this looks great!

Crikey, yes Bill that download was quick - 5gb downloaded in about 3 minutes.

First thing to note - the originals were available in 98/24, this version expands out at 44.1/16 or 24/48. I'm more than happy with this quality-wise, but just batch converted to 48/16 to match all the rest of my post stuff. Then 2 of the albums (not Destructables) had truncated file names, and so not all the words were present and correct for a search. MP3tag sorted that out as the metadata was good - I first autogenerated new track numbers as there weren't any, and then renamed by the name field and track number. Voila, all words were there for easy simple searching.

Thrilled with this collection. Really excellent metals and destructions - the android one is perhaps lacking some more organic element sometimes, but very good otherwise.
