Meet your new drill instructor — Sample and sound effect maker Sonokinetic has released Drill, a profane, sometime offensive, and all together unique military speech sound effects sample library.
Drill includes more than 4,000 sound effects, including “high impact” senior drill instructor quotes, battle field action radio communication cues, Morse code, drill commands, and many more dedicated military speech sound effects. There is even a Drill instructor folder called “In Your Face,” which includes highly profane, intimidating sound effects (not safe for work).
In producing this library, Sonokinetic decided to provide two main types of sound effects: what the company calls The Real Deal, and Lock ‘N Load. The Real Deal approach involves sampling all official procedures for ground troops military radio communication, while “Lock ‘N Load” is all about Hollywood action with stressful, on-the-battle-field sounds and amusing, shocking, and recognizable famous quotes.
