	What film/s do you think have the best sound effects?
		I would have liked a little more "sound" and a little less music but the music was so good its hard to complain.
		The deep hits of the ambience and slightly off-kilter "feel" to the sound of the room is right: something is going horribly wrong right in front of everyone.
		Jacques Tati's films, "Playtime" for instance, have incredible foley sound effects, as the whole films are based on different sound levels within very complex scenes with several dozens of actors identified within the scene only through the particular noises they make...

	Best sound card for audio recording.
		If you purchase a sound card for audio recording or already own a good sound card for recording, the chances are it's not going to fit into motherboards very shortly (2-3 years time).
		This is covered more deeply in my previous article on the types of recording setups which will help you to decide what sound card is best for your needs, and what other gear you are going to need in addition to the audio recording card.
		Even if you DID purchase the best sounding audio-card if you only own cheap microphones and speakers the best sound card for recording audio would never be fully utilized.

	Adobe - TechNote : How can I get the best sound quality? (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In order to get the best quality sound for the smallest file size and performance hit, you must consider what the content of the sound is. Too often, movies use a blanket 8-bit 22kHz sound format when that may not be appropriate.
		So a sound recorded at 16 bits and 44.1 kHz is actually a sound that has been sampled 44,100 times per second and each sample has a bit depth of 16 bits.
		Due to the time it takes to mix the sounds, there can be a noticeable delay bertween the time the command to play the sound is issued and when it actually begins to play.

	Best Sound of the Year by Game Tunnel
		All the sound effects do a great job of conveying a better sense of what is happening on the screen, with explosions and weapon fire effects that are cool, but so loud as to be overbearing.
		With quality work in both graphics and sound, it is certainly one of the best games this year, and was already the winner of the Game Tunnel Adventure game of the year.
		Sound is area of this game where the polished end product is so superb it is hard to compare it to other independent titles as this is one is much better done it leaves others in the petri dish.

	In Contention \| “Tech Support” by Gerard Kennedy: Best Sound Editing - Volume I
		Sound editing (previously called by the more explanatory name sound effects editing) refers to the integration of artificially created sound effects – the “clinks,” “clanks” and “zaps” (to put it crudely) – into the film’s broader soundtrack.
		Sound editors Bub Asman and Robert Alan Murray have worked with Clint Eastwood since 1990’s “The Rookie” in Asman’s case and 1980’s “Bronco Billy” in the case of Murray.
		The film was heavily reliant on sound effects in the collapse of the title object and, even more memorably, in the sounds that disrupted the eerie quiet of Michael Peña and Nicolas Cage trapped in the rubble.

	Science for Kids: Does sound travel best through solid, liquid or gas?
		Sounds travels in waves of compression and rarity, so it's fastest in solids because the molecules are packed together more tightly.
		Sound is next fastest in liquids, again for the same reason.
		And, in a gas, the temperature is particularly important--the faster the molecules are moving from heat, the more sound energy they can transfer to their neighbors.

	Car sounds: Buy what you like
		If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, the best sound system for your new car is whatever pleases your eardrums best.
		Distortion is the harsh breakup of the sound as the volume is increased.
		Outstanding sound systems produce as little as.1 percent distortion and anything less than 1 per cent is generally acceptable.

	G4 - Feature - What's the Best Sound Card for Recording?
		To get the best possible sound recording into your machine, the signal must be digital prior to entering your system.
		Sound cards do exist that are geared for PC recording, but don't be surprised by the cost or the need for additional equipment to create a high-quality digital audio studio.
		This may seem odd, but the best way to record sound and then store it to a hard drive for editing is through external rackmount units known as DA/AD (Digital to Analog/Analog to Digital) converters.

	Tune Your Drums to Sound Their Best
		Although these pages are designed to help you get the best sound from your acoustic drums in a live setting, they will also allow you to provide an excellent sound source for more specialised applications such as close-miking or recording.
		However, they can only produce their sound properly if they are tight enough to resonate.
		Tune the drums to sound their best and then 'fine tune' out any unwanted rings either by SUBTLE changes in tuning of the top or bottom head or by SUBTLE damping if necessary.

		The DAC that best preserves the hi frequency shimmer and definition without smearing or artifacts can be considered better, given the rest is equal.
		Or consider using onboard sound with various adapters and connecting a small preamp to the line inputs.

		The sound might be overly bright (lacking in bass) or bass-heavy or unnecessarily muddy or any number of other acoustical maladies that you didn't bargain for.
		You just sit and listen and decide what sounds best, while a friend (a very good friend) or a loved one (someone who really, really loves you) moves the speakers around.

		But you are dependant on a sound person who can't hear what you hear on stage, and may be facing certain sound system limitations because of the feed-back threshold.
		Taking control of your vocal sound in a live performance would mean that you have the correct microphone for your voice and you can independently adjust your monitor volume and effects like reverb or delay.
		You then run your stage sound to the sound engineer who will put it through the club PA for the audience.

		The sound is remarkably similar to a good DTS (Digital Theater System) set up, in that it is squeaky clean to the point of being hyper-realistic.

		Listener-to-speaker distance: To get the best possible sound from your speakers, you need to sit a specific distance from them for the sounds from their individual drive-units to blend properly.
		Obviously, larger windows of good sound will be desirable for home theaters designed to seat more than two or three people, especially if you want the sound to be good whether the listeners are on the floor or sitting in a second or third row of seats on raised platforms.
		If you prefer the sound of speakers that have a smaller listening window, they will perform well as long as the window is large enough to cover the intended listening area.

		RBH Sound also offers a grander version known as the T-3 which stacks another set of bass modules on top of the T-1 Satellites for a total of eight 10” subwoofers that would surely please any bass lunatic, like myself for example.
		RBH Sound told us these were pre-production units, and that the actual product that ships has higher quality control to avoid color/finish mismatching.
		Unfortunately RBH Sound did not have their test gear on hand to measure the in room response and thus the system was mostly tuned by ear.

	GameSpy's Game of the Year 2005
		Part of the allure of the original Call of Duty was the way the sound helped draw players into the battles, taking our award for Best Sound in 2003.
		To start, the weapon sounds in CoD2 were so sharp that you could practically feel your weapons rumble as you fired them.
		An orchestral score was used sparingly, more to provide a brief emotional effect at the end of a mission than as a traditional soundtrack, and a new "battle chatter" system helped create a chaotic battlefield where soldiers on both sides were constantly screaming orders at each other.

	2005 Game of the Year: Sound by Game Tunnel
		The sound was carefully crafted in the game so that voices heard in another room sound like they are in another room and the audio environment feels very realistic.
		The world has its own sounds as different enemies move around the screen and there is a pulsing drone in the background that helps create a feeling of fear.
		The music in Mexican Motor Mafia is second to none, and the sound effects are solid as well, with great explosions, revving engines, and screeching tires that make this game a treat to listen to.
