The HD Sound Effects Initiative (HDsoundeffects.org) is an industry-wide consortium dedicated to fostering the awareness, adoption and use of high definition audio and sound effects libraries in professional media production. Organized by Pro Sound Effects with endorsement from leading library publishers Sound Ideas, Hollywood Edge, Digieffects and Blastwave FX , the HD Sound Effects Initiative serves as an educational and news resource for the professional audio community.  By using the highest quality audio and HD sound effects libraries, we, as audio professionals, seek to push the limits of the HD experience and underscore the increasingly integral role of high definition audio and sound design.
