The Slam Bang Boom Production Elements Collection (Audio CD and CD-ROM) from Sound Ideas is a collection of hits, explosions, and sonic impacts delivered on 2 audio CDs with a corresponding CD-ROM of WAV files. The library consists of over 89 categories of hits - including explosions, bursts, computer and Internet sounds, and flashes.
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 and is useful for any medium that uses sound - from radio to video to multimedia. These are tools for accenting cuts, titles, flashes, or for just getting an audience's attention.
The 1257 production elements in this collection come from a variety of sources, some real and some synthesized. Slam Bang Boom comes with 2 color-coded, fully-indexed CDs, a CD-ROM, and a 24-page booklet, giving comprehensive information on all the production elements on the disc, organized by type and sound length. The CD-ROM contains 16-bit/44.1kHz WAV files and is both Mac and PC compatible. It also works in Akai S5000/6000 series samplers with OS 1.3 or later, as well as any EMU or Kurzweil samplers that can import WAV files.
