On organization...
"Each weapon has its isolated tracks, and monos and stereos, and stereo summed tracks for both quickly cutting sounds and digging in further."
"The layout of the recordings is amazing — everything lines up perfectly, there's no issue with phasing, no issue with masking, it just snaps into place."
On recording quality...
"Each of these recordings sound fantastic, and you get a sense of scale and scope with the different perspectives."
"There's a lot of character from the different microphone choices, different perspectives — you can do a lot of damage with this library."
On the depth of the library...
"This is Richard King we're talking about, with a filmography spanning centuries, so you're gonna see everything from cannons and single bolt rifles all the way to submachine guns.”
