MORE HITS THAN ELVIS AND THE BEATLES COMBINED! A 'HIT' is defined (in almost 98% of the cases on this disc) as an event with a steep attack transient that reflects an impact, explosion, or forceful expulsion of matter. Useful for anything that uses sound - from radio to video to multimedia. Tools for accenting cuts, titles, flashes, exploding livestock or just pimp-slapping your audience into paying attention. In short, in the war of sound design, SLAM*BANG*BOOM is your nuclear option.

The sounds on this disc come from a variety of sources, some real and some synthesized. But they all obey one cardinal rule: they were designed to sound different than anything else out there. The only exceptions being sections (like the 'Laser Hits' section on disc one) where we acknowledge that other libraries may feature similar sounds - but we decided to include them, because they're useful. These 'emulative' sounds comprise less than 5% of the sounds in this collection.

SLAM*BANG*BOOM comes with two color-coded, fully-indexed audio discs, one data disc and a 24-page booklet, giving comprehensive information on all of the 1,257 sounds on the disc, organized by type and sound length.

DATA DISC INFORMATION: The data CD is an ISO-9660 disc containing 16-bit, 44.1k, .WAV files and is both Mac and PC-compatible. This CD should also work in AKAI S5000/6000 series samplers with OS1.3 or later as well as any EMU or Kurzweil samplers that can import .WAV files. Please check manufacturer documentation for compatibility.
