THE HOLLYWOOD EDGE – THE OFF STAGE SET COMPLETE ORIGINAL 5-CD PROFESSIONAL SOUND EFFECTS LIBRARY
Rare complete physical 5-CD edition of The Hollywood Edge “The Off Stage Set” professional sound-effects library.
This is a particularly interesting Hollywood Edge collection because it was specifically designed around something most traditional sound libraries did not concentrate on: sounds heard from a DISTANCE or from another physical space.
Instead of everything being recorded directly in front of the microphone, these effects were created from perspectives such as:
• The house next door • The next room • Through a wall • Behind a closed door • The floor above • Outside a building • Off camera / in the distance
The result is a highly specialized production library intended to help sound designers create realistic scenes without having to artificially process ordinary close-miked effects to make them sound distant.
318 PROFESSIONAL SOUND EFFECTS
The complete library contains approximately 318 digitally recorded stereo sound effects.
THE CONTENT IS FANTASTIC:
The Hollywood Edge team created its own scripts and recorded talent specifically for the collection, producing realistic background and off-stage material including:
• News broadcasts • Weather reports • Sports announcers • Talk shows • Game shows • Shopping-program audio • Television backgrounds • Nightclub music heard from outside • Dogs next door • Distant / off-camera sirens • Neighbors fighting • Footsteps and stomping from the floor above • Traffic • Aircraft • Construction backgrounds • Factory environments • Doors • Bells • Doorbells • Long-form background ambiences • Numerous other distant-perspective production effects
THE WHOLE IDEA WAS PERSPECTIVE.
Imagine a film scene where the actors are inside an apartment while neighbors argue through the wall, somebody walks across the apartment upstairs, a television plays in another room, traffic passes outside and a siren can be heard several blocks away.
Those are exactly the kinds of sonic details this specialized library was designed to provide.
PROFESSIONAL HOLLYWOOD PRODUCTION MEDIA
The Hollywood Edge became one of the major names in professional production sound-effects libraries.
The Off Stage Set was specifically developed in response to requests from industry audio professionals for convincing off-stage and distant-perspective recordings.
This is the ORIGINAL PHYSICAL 5-CD FORMAT.
The collection is now commercially distributed in digital-download form, making the complete original physical CD edition an especially interesting piece of professional audio-production history.
Before massive downloadable sound libraries became standard, professional editors and studios maintained physical libraries like this on shelves and selected individual effects during film, television and commercial post-production.
