The Edge Edition was my first purchase. I needed to be competitive, and I had to work on a budget. The Edge Edition was a natural choice. When it arrived in my studio I was amazed by over 800 newly created sound effects. Two projects later, the collection was completely paid for!

I remember working on a commercial that needed motorcycles, impacts, office sounds, slamming doors, buzzers, and telephones. All of this was carefully mixed into the natural sound of the shoot. The end result got me FOUR more jobs, and I brought the production in under my budget. That was a nice feeling, and it made me look great to the "money people"! Even in some of my music productions, The Edge Edition has found its way into songs.

The vast number of effects can be sampled as wave files and inserted into a music sequence. By doing production in this fashion, I can precisely control the sound effect hit time right down to the frame! In The Edge Edition, I found endless really outstanding effects. I have actually used a golf swing and hit within a piece of music. It turned out to be a perfect filler instrument on the drum track.

Choose among clocks, crashes, doors, toilets, alarms, birds, horses and the list goes on and on. Why, you can even fry meat and eat potato chips! When you're finished, cue up track 57 on disc 3 and you'll find five versions of belches.

If you're getting started or on a tight budget, The Edge Edition is a great way to bring quality sound effects to your project with a no - compromise attitude.
