In a recent Forbes article, author Nick Messitte spoke with Team PSE about the role sound effects libraries play in the sound design industry.

The article examines the current state of sound libraries with Pro Sound Effects as the focal point. Messitte is familiar with Pro Sound Effects (he is a [Hybrid Library](http://prosoundeffects.com/hybrid) user), stating:

*"...I myself have used their samples in a variety of applications, from sweetening room ambiance in documentaries, to evoking the sound of footsteps on freshly cracked snow in art-house flicks, to employing frightening gun shots in gangster movies, to everything in between. It’s been a tremendous help to my work, improving the speed of my turnaround (as cruddier sounds require more complicated processing, which requires more time)."*

This is followed by an exploration of the impact that sound libraries and newly emerging technologies may have on other major areas of the industry such as Foley.
