This episode contains a brief interview we did at NAB last year. Listen to David Forshee, PSE Librarian and freelance sound designer, explain how we are continually improving the Hybrid Library based on feedback from Hybrid owners. He describes one of our main initiatives this year: refining metadata. Since Hybrid Library content is assembled from different recordists with different ways of handling metadata, we strive for cohesiveness by finding common nomenclature that works to bring the different collections together. Luckily, these points were somehow communicated quite clearly amidst all the trade show madness. :P
