Description: Complete 12 discs of this Specialty Sound Effects Collections series from Sound Ideas. A rare collection from the manufacturer’s CD collections. Don’t be confused by the fact that the countdown goes from SBCD-19 to SBCD-30. These are brand names for the collections of the company itself.
Blow Tools is a 12 CD sound effects library containing over 700 royalty free minutes of rushing, wailing, blasting, buffeting, groaning, rustling, droning, growling, shrieking and moaning, whistling, rumbling, whispering, sweeping and swooshing, breezing, blowing, howling, gusting and whooshing! This incredible variety of sound allows you to create effects for any type of wind or air movement, including tunnels, air locks, ducts, objects falling or moving through air, and horror or sci fi background effects. Each digitally recorded sound clip is clean and ready to use. All wind elements can be used alone or layered to create a custom mood or environmental texture.
Of the 263 Blow Tools winds, 239 are “perfect loops”. The wind sound effects that are not pre-looped grow out of silence with ramps of varying length, then crescendo to full intensity and decrease to silence again. The wind effects also have a wide variety of character with varying texture, resonance, pitch, range, and activity.
Blow Tools also includes more than 80 shorter blowing effects of amplitude variation – including flurries, gusts and quick bursts – plus 175 individual swooshes of 34 different types.
The Preview CD and documentation make it quick and easy to scan through the hundreds of wind textures on Blow Tools. This special disc contains 5 second samples of each looped sound effect, plus an entertaining audio demonstration program.
Use the Preview CD to quickly determine the exact character or wind type you’re looking for, then follow the documentation directly to the library CD containing the full-length effect.
