Inside Info
Sounddogs.com: SFX Library Has
A Hollywood Pedigree
When I reach Sounddogs.com founder and chief Rob Nokes on his
cell phone a few days after the new year, he was far, far away from his
310 (Los Angeles) area code. In fact, I've found him in Buenos Aires,
Argentina. It turns out that the whale sound recording expedition he'd
hoped to go on off the coast of neighboring Uruguay didn't pan out: "I
came to record whales, but the whales came and left early, so now I'm
going to focus on getting these sea lions that live on an island around
here," the affable recordist says. "I've always dreamed of recording
whales: my dream is to go up to Hudson's Bay and record whales there
because there are very few ship engines anymore, so it's very clean
[-sounding]. I want to get my underwater recording techniques down so
that hopefully in the next three or four years it will get to the point
where it's worth going up to Hudson's Bay and really making a goal of
recording whales at a really high level." For now, however, the sea
lions will do.
To Nokes, the world offers an unlimited panorama of sounds to be
captured and preserved...and sold. A Hollywood recordist and sound
supervisor whose credits range from French Kiss, Cable
Guy, and As Good As It Gets, to a passel of sports films,
including Seabiscuit, Million Dollar Baby, Miracle,
Coach Carter, and the brand-new Glory Road, he spends
about half his time working on Sounddogs.com, which he claims was the
first online SFX company; in fact they've never been in the business of
selling FX CDs. more>>

Universumkiosk has introduced Waves of Land,

construction sets. Tempos are indicated and range from 80-140BPM. The
overall atmosphere goes towards ambient.
The samples are not meant to provide hooks and leads, they are meant to
innovate, to alter, to add an exotic flavor, a sonic signature to an
otherwise clean mix, it can create a psychological tension for a movie
or it can just trigger creative ideas. more>>
