LAS VEGAS, NEVADA NAB Sonic Science Inc., the company that brought the professional audio industry some of the best sounding sound effect libraries, has again raised the bar with the introduction of Sonic Boon Foley Footsteps (Winter), an all new 48 KHz, 24-bit sound effect library. This format is the minimum standard for all new Sonic Boon libraries!

Why winter footsteps? We're Canadian, and we know winter! So we developed this with a focus on real winter situations. That means real snow, real surfaces and real footwear. Over 1700 winter effects all digitally recorded and edited at a sample rate of 48 Khz 24-bits. The entire library was recorded on a foley stage wet room, by bringing the facility temperature down to 5°C (42°F) and loading the stage with real Canadian winter snow.

All tracks were recorded in Dual Mono with the exception of the "fresh snow" tracks, which were recorded in single mono with an extra "crunch" track added on track 2. By varying the relative level between tracks 1 & 2, you can create infinitely variable depths of snow and perceived proximity to the footsteps.

The end result is a footstep collection that has incredible frequency response, a low noise floor, and a unique feel that will quickly make it one of your essential sound collections.

The library has been released in a DVD style package, with two audio CD's, and a DVD-ROM. The DVD-ROM contains all the effects that are on audio discs one and two. The 44.1 KHz files on the DVD-ROM are accessible for free after registering the library, and the 48 KHz 24-bit/16-bit files will be available for a nominal charge.

Sonic Science Inc. was founded in 1992 to develop and market innovative products for the post-production industry. Today, in addition to Foley Footsteps (Winter), the company also produces the Sonic Boon line of sound effect libraries consisting of Dynamic Range, The Works, Foley Footsteps (Volume 1,2,3), Paradise, Blow Tools, the Sonic Source Music Library, and the Sonic Search media management system. Sonic Science's products are distributed worldwide through an international dealer network.
