Music Effects are OK, but there are not 100 of them.

"Despite the line "Over 100 Music Cues and Effects" on the back cover, the CD for "Music Effects Vol. 1 & 2" only contains 51 tracks. The enclosed booklet lists 90 tracks. Evidently tracks 52-90 must be on Vol.3 & 4 (or lost in the trash basket).



As far as the tracks on this record are concerned, they are fairly good quality and could be useful to someone making their

own movies or slide shows.



There are 13 drum tracks, 5 with solo piccolo, 3 with solo flute, 6 with solo harp, and the rest feature a small ensemble. The piano is featured in 4, the flute in 10, harp and flute in 9, and seven combinations of opening and closing riffs on track 51.



I liked these enough to want to purchase the rest of the tracks, if I only knew where to find them. The manufacturer (Gateway Recordings) and the distributor (RTV Productions) have apparently vanished from sight."
