Image GalleryContentsSound on Sound Issue April 2011Music Tech 12/03 Studio Box 1(!)Nature, Human, Technical and Cinema & Game. The coverage appears comprehensive and, with everything presented in a 44.1 kHz, 16-bit, stereo WAV file format, the whole lot comes in at 22 GB, with over 9000 individual files. Armed with a stiff drink and a plentiful supply of survival rations, I dug in…
First up was Nature: a collection of background atmospheres of natural timbres and a variety of featured animal sounds. While the collection of animals might not satisfy Noah, it covers dogs, cats, frogs, horses, sheep, pigs, monkeys and insects, along with some more exotic species. There are some excellent barking dogs and chirping insects, although I was disappointed to only get one donkey sample (I like donkeys!). The more background-orientated material includes lots of water (lapping, flowing, crashing in waves, for example), but there are also some very good rainfall and thunder samples.
The Human volume is particularly diverse. There are good dollops of applause, ambient sounds of cafés and restaurants; children playing, crying and laughing; fireworks, footsteps, doors being opened, shut and locked; church bells, voices (including a very good selection of solo and crowd laughter) and sundry minor other categories. However, the biggest sub-set within this volume is sport-related sounds, with everything from baseball to wrestling: balls being beaten and kicked and, amongst the karate and boxing folders, some useful sounds of people being hit!
Technical is where things get, um, technical: planes, trains and automobiles are joined by boats, helicopters and forklift trucks (I know, it doesn’t have quite the same ring to it).Alongside the transport, there is also a range of office, machine noises, vending machines, construction sites and lots of phones going off.
Volume 4 covers cinema and game sounds so, as you might expect, there are plenty of bleeps, whooshes and impacts. If you want to create a sonic warzone, there are also plenty of guns going off, explosions (the latter in the ‘blasts’ folder) and some game-friendly ‘body’ and ‘sword’ impacts; these would sound right at home in a Kung Fu or sword and sorcery context. This volume also includes a potentially useful range of cartoon-style sounds: silly voices, sounds and some slapstick-style impacts.
While not breaking any particularly new ground, for sound designers looking for a one-stop sound-effects shop, Studio Mark II covers most of the bases.
Although rarely integral to the structure of a piece of music, the use of sound effects can be as effective in creating a sonic image as the illustrations in a novel. They're also easier to accommodate than most other kinds of samples: try incorporating a percussion loop or synth line into an existing song and you'll find that there are all kinds of musical and
atmospheric considerations you may have to deal with before getting it to sit right. By contrast, dropping in the sound of, say, footsteps or applause, should simply be a matter of locating a suitable sample and triggering it at the right moment.
Ah, but how exactly do you go about locating a suitable sample? Well, numerous collections have appeared over the years, including those available online from Sound Effects Library Ltd (a selection from which are included on mtm's cover CD this month and last). There's also the celebrated BBC Sound Effects library, which currently extends to a staggering 60 CDs.
Most people, however, find themselves in need of a collection somewhere between this and the mere handful of sound effects tracks included on the typical sample CD. Enter Best Service and its
four-volume Studio Box collection, supplied on DVD and weighing in with an impressive 4,535
WAV-format sounds taking up just under 15GB of disk space. The four volumes cover Nature, Human, Technical and Special, and encompass just about every type of sound effect imaginable
and, in most cases, include a decent selection of each to choose from. So, for example, there's not just one dog bark, but ten; not just one camera shutter click, but 14. And as for phone rings.
It all may sound rather prosaic, but the producers of this collection have shown great imagination in their choice of samples
not to mention diligence in capturing every nuance of the sounds using the very best recording techniques available. In addition to shorter, one-off sounds such as door slams, train noises, gun shots and drills, there also a huge range of atmospheres recorded inside caf's, factories, underground stations, and so on. You can choose not only whether a car's arriving or leaving
but also its make. As you might imagine, a passing Nissan sounds rather different from a Mercedes or a Porsche.
Inevitably, there will be omissions and the one sound you're looking for won't be included, but it would be hard to improve on the range covered by the full Studio Box set. Of course, you'll need to be equipped with a suitable DVD drive, but most new computers are DVD compatible
and you can install a drive into most older machines for very little money. Even so, there will be those with access only to a CD player who will be locked out from this collection
and that's the only thing preventing it from receiving full marks.
Verdict: A hugely valuable effects resource, and cheap if you buy the full set.
