The Sound Effects Bible - book release October 1st!

According to George Lucas, “Sound is half the experience.” The Sound Effects Bible is the complete guide to recording, editing, and designing your own sound effects. If it snaps, crackles, pops, crashes, booms or bangs, it can be found somewhere in this first ever book on the black art of Foley and sound effects. Imagine how your movies will come to life by using tried-and-true sound techniques that give films like Lords of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean and There Will Be Blood deeper dimensions in storytelling.

This definitive book covers microphone selection, field recorders, the ABCs of digital audio, understanding digital audio workstations, building your own Foley stage, designing your own editing studio, sound design, and much more.

This book is written by Ric Viers, who is the genius creator behind the sounds on SFX Bible and Blastwave FX profiles, which make a large percentage of Soundsnap's library.

Apart from a great guy, Ric happens to be one of most accomplished sound effects designers in the world.

I went through the first chapter of the book and it seems very informative and fun to read.

So I recommend you check it out.
