Great library of sound FX, but I'm conflicted
I have to say the sound FX library is impressive, but Audiohero unfortunately succumbs to overpromising and underdelivering.
The good:
-the sound FX are very high quality, much better than what's offered IMO at, say, Audiio
-the library is broad
The not-so-good:
-the AI sound fx generator is bad. To be fair, even the premiere AI sound FX generator (ElevenLabs) is bad. But this is bad enough to be gimmicky if not entirely impractical
-the music is okay, no vocals from what I can tell. Audiio is in a whole other league in quality for music
-the promise of new sound FX added every week is not supported by the facts that I can tell. TBF, I only audited this for a week (7 days apart). And the total number of visible SFX actually went down to ~304k from ~306k. And the top 30 items in Week 2 consist entirely of horse locomotion and dirt footstep variations (Animals, Horses: Hard Pack Dirt). These naming conventions and audio files originate from the legacy Sound Ideas foley archive (AudioHero’s licensor and parent library), rather than newly commissioned recordings.
If my data is right, then that's misrepresentation of their promises. I may keep this for the existing library alone, but the real reason I bought this was for the promise of the library actually expanding weekly (I know, this isn't realistic on a LTD model ALONE, but that's not the pricing AudioHero does ALONE). Another big reason was the ability to generate my own SFX via their AI generator, but that's useless to me right now. And thirdly, for the music, but I'll be using Audiio.
So, unless I can find another LTD for a comparable high quality library like this one, I'll keep it.
