Soundminer has the ability to add all this metadata in one swift action. I’ve included an image you can apply to the collection, XLS, and Numbers text listings. I’ve offered the original metadata below, too. (Incidentally, I explain this naming scheme in detail in my book, Selling Creative Sound, if you’d like more info.) The revised description sorts all pistols, rifles, shotguns, and machine guns in one tidy list. That makes searching for the proper sound difficult. For example, the original names sort the 1911 handguns next to the AK–47 machine guns. When guns are named by model first, rifles or shotguns may be mixed in with the handguns. That means they’ll need to browse handguns in a one sorted area. The idea behind this naming scheme is that most sound effect editors will search by type of gun. That helps choose effects when using them in Pro Tools. Why? Well, that ensures the handguns, the pistols, and the calibre are sorted together.

The files were delivered with the model name listed first:ġ911, handgun, pistol, semi automatic. The names are adjusted to enhance organization.

I took it upon myself to fill out more metadata fields.ĭesigner, Composer (for iTunes export), Publisher, Manufacturer, Notes, Version, Library Name. More metadata is always better! It helps us find and decide between clips. The library arrives with a few Soundminer metadata fields filled: Description and Category.

These steps are a bit involved, so set some time aside. I’ll also show a way to build upon the crew’s metadata with additional metadata text and enhanced file names.

In this post I’ll explain how to download the collection, since it requires some attention. The crew delivered a complete project of tricky sound effects quickly. It’s served under a Creative Commons No Rights Reserved license, so you’re welcome to download and use it as you like. The folks at the Still North Media are offering the gun sound effects library free of charge to everyone. Missed the Kickstarter campaign? Fear not. More processed sound files are forthcoming.Ĭongratulations to the crew for completing such an ambitious project. It raised over $7,000 in one month, and produced over 6 gigabytes of sound files in 724 clips. The Free Firearm Sound Effects Library is a good example of the potential of Kickstarter sound collections. It skirts the problems with packaged sound fx libraries, and à la carte websites. I wrote last year that Kickstarter has great potential for creating sound libraries. Rounding Out a Sound Effects Library About the Kickstarter Firearm Sound Effects Project
