Sound Ideas has done it again - this second installment of "The Best of Sound Ideas" - XV Series 2 - provides a special sampling of the spectacular sound effects we have published during the past few years.

XV Series 2 offers 5 CDs and 1,000 royalty free stereo sound effects in pristine Red Book CD Audio, plus a single DVD ROM with all of the FX provided in both 16 Bit/44.1K Broadcast WAV and 128 kbps MP3 file formats. All of the WAV files have been embedded with improved metadata that is fully cross referenced for detailed and accurate searches in your asset management software.

Here are the sound effects you will find in XV Series 2:

Sound Ideas has prepared this fully digital product on DVD ROM by converting their original Red Book Audio audio CDs to the broadcast WAV file format using the Soundminer Toolset. The library's metadata is already embedded in the Soundminer and broadcast WAV BEXT containers, ready for easy access.

So, if you are using an asset content manager like Soundminer® or Pro Tools®, you can simply download the digital audio files from these Sound Ideas DVD ROMs to your hard drive and use your content manager's drag and drop feature to begin working immediately with them in your production. It's that easy - the ripping and metadata work have already been done for you by Sound Ideas.
