On the depth of the Hybrid Library...

"It was the first large library that I purchased when I built the studio, and the first couple films I did were almost exclusively done with it. There's really just a lot of great sounds, that runs the gamut of everything that we could possibly need."

"This is really an all-encompassing effects library that covers anyone's needs."

"There's about 65,000 sounds, so with this library alone you've got the tools to take on basically any project that comes your way."

On the convenience...

"Really, it makes the convenience of not having to build all of these design elements on your own. They're all right here. It makes it really quick and easy."

"These are also sounds that most freelancers don't have the ability to go out and record themselves."

On the organization...

"The first thing you'll notice with a lot of these sounds is how well-edited they are."

"Their real strength is the extremely detailed metadata...with lots of search terms, starting from as wide as ambience and wind, and getting down into nitty-gritty, which makes searching a lot easier to do."

"A lot of it was driven by user feedback, so they really do listen to sound editors out there working about what can help them."
