HD - "High Definition" - 24 Bit / 96 kHz
For the past 3 years, our engineers have been busy - really busy. We sent them out into the field with state-of-the-art recording equipment and super high quality microphones, and told them to start all over again to create a completely new General sound effects library. This collection features brand new recordings - all originally made at 24 bit / 96 kHz - so you get the very best in crisp, clear, high definition sound.
