Disc 4
Sports & Leisure – Effects covered here include football, baseball, hockey, roller coaster, and cards.
Vintage Cartoon – a section made up of five expansive subfolders that cover about every boing, walla, and sound effect from any Looney Tunes-like cartoon you’ve ever seen. Perfect for the budding animator or filmmaker making a kids’ film.
Vocals & Wallas – Vocal effects like children screaming, crowds cheering, and fighters bellowing are all found here.
Disc 5
Vehicles – A folder with seven subfolders for things like Trains, Aircraft, Cars, Motorcycles, Keys & Doors, Watercraft, and Crashes.
Disc 6
Electronics – The sounds of electronic devices such as radios, AM static, alarms, and devices powering on.
Hits & Tones – Musical tones that can be used to add psychological effect to your film, like a deep base swell or kodo drum hits.
Sound Design – Fantasy – Sound design effects that had a Fantasy edge, such as the sound of a dragon swooping by or the whoosh of a spectral creature or the heavenly sounds of an angellic choir.
Sound Design – Horror – Sound design effects with a horror edge, like squishing swamp mud, the buzzing of a swarm of insects, reverse breath sounds, and the sounds of a person being stretched on a rack.
Sound Design – Sci-Fi – Sound design effects with a science fiction edge, this covers things like cyborg eye scans, the sound of blasters, space battles, and super jet flybys.
Title Sequence Effects – An awesome idea, this section focuses on sound effects you can use in trailers and during the titles to punctuate your titles flying into space. While there are only seven unique clusters of sound effects (although, each cluster has between two and six subtle variations), these clusters give you a fair number of ideas.
Vocals – Humanoid – While you would think these would be human sounding sound effects, these are actual humanoid monster sound effects. These are a bit too digital sounding and sound a bit like the alien races found in the Star Wars movies.
Vocals – Monsters – These are the sounds of predators, dinosaurs, and mythic hybrids snarling and roaring. Perfect for blending with other effects or if you want something terrifying to lurk in the dark!
Disc 7
Explosions – More in-depth than Disc 3’s foray, this look at explosions is much more focused and sounds much more like what you’ve heard in the theaters in high action films. Along with normal explosions and shattering sounds, are delay level explosions which simulate the sound of a shock wave whipping out from a central core and hitting the camera.
Explosions – 5.1 Surround – 14 different 6-part sound effects that are each recorded to fully create the surround sound effect of being inside an explosions.
Hand-to-Hand Combat – An in-depth look at the fighting arts from the normal fighting effects like punches, whooshes, crotch grabs, and bodies falling on the ground to the heavily stylized fighting effects from old kung fu films. A great slew of effects, including the disgusting sounds of bones breaking and blood spurting.
Impacts & Destruction Sweeteners – Basically, a beautiful add-on to the Explosions part of this disc, this allows you to add extra pieces of explosion and aftermath. If you want the main explosion to occur and then, a few seconds later, a piece of debris to plummet down and crash in the street, this will provide the sounds for that. If you want a tree to have taken an exploding piece of shrapnel and fall down, this is where you get the sound of that tree creaking, groaning, and falling over!
Ricochets, Hits, & Whiz Bys – A sweetener of sorts for the Weapons & Firearms section also on this CD. This includes the sounds of arrows hitting wood and ricochets of bullets and automatic fire.
Weapons & Firearms – While there are a few more of the sword slashes we saw in Disc 3, the new edition of a tomahawk hitting various wooden object, as well as some exploding claymores (which seem like they should have been in the Explosions set), this set is primarily about firearms. Everything from a .22 caliber pistol to a silenced MACK-10 to an AK-47 to a full machine gun are represented in this set.
Disc 8
Backgrounds – A continuation of the backgrounds in Disc 2, these are a little shorter in duration that the disc 2. However, the shorter ones are loopable without becoming noticeable. A few of the new environments in this set are a campfire, bar interior, autoshop, prison, and the fairgrounds.
Thunder & Lightning – More detailed than those effects found in Disc 1, this section allows you really to tweak how you want your lighting storm to occur and break it down into the specific elements you need.
Wind – This allows you to fully flesh scenes that require wind, but do not require a hurricane or tornado. Effects here include blustery wind, cold wind, ghost town wind, and wind through the leaves of a tree.
