Pro Sound Effects Debuts New Hybrid Library + Expansion 1 — for Freelance Sound Designers
(Editors Update — January 8, 2014: Pro Sound Effects announced it has released an additional 50 units of the Hybrid Library, available at $1,500 each through January 31, 2014. After the additional 50 units are reserved, the price of the Hybrid Library will be raised to $2,500 for qualified applicants.)
In 2012 NYC-based Pro Sound Effects (PSE) looked to its roots, and came out in support of freelance sound designers with the Hybrid Library for Freelancers & Independent Engineers.
A $10,000 value, the Pro Sound Effects Hybrid Library is available for $1500 to freelancers only.
Now, PSE is doing it again, releasing 100 additional units of its enhanced Hybrid Library, introduced this time with a brand new add-on dubbed the Expansion 1.
The Hybrid Library combines 50,000+ sound effects on hard drive and this year includes new drive design, enhanced metadata, publisher updates, and access to over 125,000 sound online.
The 100 Hybrid Library units that are being reserved for freelancers can be had for just $1,500 each ($10,000 value at market price) through December 31. Interested parties must apply for freelancer pricing – visit the Pro Sound Effects Hybrid Library page for full features, demos, reviews, and an application.
The Expansion 1 was created in survey-driven collaboration with current Hybrid Library owners, and includes 10,000+ brand new sounds in essential effects categories such as Ambiences, Cinematic Elements, Fight Elements, Foley Footsteps, Roomtones, Weapons, Sci-Fi and beyond.
The Expansion 1 is available only to Hybrid Library owners, and is freelancer-priced at $500 (as opposed to a $2500 market value) through December 31. The collection is delivered on USB flash drive. Full features and demos can be found here.
Both the Hybrid Library and Expansion 1 are curated from prolific sound effects publishers that include Blastwave FX, BOOM Library, Foundation, and Soundrangers. Their creation process is the result of close collaboration with Pro Sound Effects Hybrid Library owners.
