Last month we ran a competition where we offered one person the chance to win a copy of every single sound effects library in the SoundBits library and two runners up prizes of a 4 Pack collection of their choice from the SoundBits catalogue. We can announce that winner is Holger Jung and the runners up were Claudio Demel and Chris McIntosh.
Holger Jung
I have worked in post production and as a location sound recordist for more than 20 years and I still love my job. I have my own studio in the Rhein-Main area in Germany and work mainly in documentary post.
I will use the sound libraries from SoundBits every day to enrich the delivered material or look for sounds that are missing. SoundBits will be a perfect addition to my cared for and cherished library.
Thanks for your excellent page and the podcast. I have been a big fan for many years now ever since I met Russ at your first breakfast session at Musikmesse Frankfurt.
Claudio Demel
At the moment I am studying for my Diploma in Sound for Movies at the Filmakademie Ludwigsburg. The SoundBits sound library will not only help me with that but also at my job working on movies, commercials and sound installations as part of my job and profession.
I'm a part of Ofura Konzept, which is a small independent movie production group specialising in action, horror and thriller themed movies so the Impacts Bundle will be very useful for that as well.
I'm very Very happy and hope you guys keep up the good work.
Chris McIntosh
I am a Re-Recording Mixer and Sound Supervisor for film, television, commercials, and music productions. Some of the projects I have worked on include Facing Ali (Academy Award shortlist), Highway Thru Hell, Real Housewives of Toronto, Forced To Fight, I am Bruce Lee, What about Mimi?, Action Man, Weird-Ohs, and Jibber Jabber.
I won a Gemini award for Best Sound in an Information/Documentary Program or Series for Making the Cut, 5 Leo Awards for Best Sound and an Alberta Recording Industry award for “Recording Engineer of the Year” as well as numerous recognitions and nominations worldwide.
Most recently, I mixed the feature “I Am JFK Jr”, the international hit series “Highway Thru Hell” and the GRB Entertainment series “Untold Stories of the ER”
I am really looking forward to the SoundBits library. I work on two series, Highway Thru Hell and Heavy Rescue 401, both about massive truck wrecks and their recoveries. I am always in need on big metal sounds to accent these wrecks, and the SoundBits libraries always come through.
