FIRST, A DEFINITION: A 'TRANSITION' is defined ( in almost 98% of the cases in this collection) as an event with a sloped attack that builds to an abrupt climax - or builds to a climax and then recedes. Good for aurally accenting wipes, fades, dissolves - or gaping holes in the audio made by clumsy producer/editors that require covering up. Of course, radio producers can utilize these sounds for sweeps, transitions and just to make their productions sound very, very different than what's out there now.
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 'Synthy' section on disc two) 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.
TRANSITIONS comes with two color-coded, fully-indexed audio discs, one data disc and a 24-page booklet, giving comprehensive information on all of the 1,229 sounds on the disc, organized by type and sound length.
DATA DISC INFORMATION: Transitions comes with a data CD that 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 raw .WAV files. Please check manufacturer documentation for compatibility.
