"Ric's book is an excellent introduction to techniques for producing professional sound effects for films, games, etc. It's packed with nuts-and-bolts information that beginning and intermediate level sound designers/editors will find useful."
- Randy Thom, Academy Award winning Director of Sound Design, Skywalker Ranch
"The SFX Bible is the go-to resource for anyone serious about sound creation! Viers generously shares his real world experience in an absorbing and hard to put down guide to this fascinating corner of the entertainment industry."
- Aaron Marks, Composer/Sound Designer & author of The Complete Guide To Game Audio
"Ric Viers eats, drinks, and breathes sound effects. If you're a sound designer, editor, or filmmaker, you'll need the Bible!"
- Tasos Frantzolas, founder of Soundsnap.com
"Fun, funny, and the most informative source I've seen on the what, why, and how of creating sound effects. This book's a blessing of inspiration, common sense, and trade secrets, a must for everyone planning to get their own microphone for recording our sonic world. Thanks, Ric, for sharing your experience creating those 100,000 humongous, teeny, sloshy, brittle, honking, shimmering, etc. etc. sounds."
- David Sonnenschein, author of Sound Design
"Ric Viers manages to not only detail the technical aspects of an under-appreciated craft, but explain how a sound effects expert approaches this work from a practical perspective - offering specific examples of how one can capture and later utilize audio that will add depth and character to images."
- David E. Williams, Editor-In-Chief, Digital Video Magazine
"If you are interested in learning about the details of sound effects for you own productions - this is the book!"
- Frank Serafine, Award Winning Sound Designer/Composer/Multimediaist, Tron, Star Trek, The Hunt For Red October, Brainstorm
"Ric has really nailed it on this one. There is no other A-to-Z book that a media maker who has limited knowledge of sound effects can use to get a great overview of how sound is matched to visuals conceptually and technically - and then with this knowledge actually make a movie soundtrack."
- Alan Howarth, Composer/Sound Designer for Star Trek, Halloween, Poltergeist, Dracula, Stargate, The Hunt For Red October, and The Little Mermaid
"I have no idea what he is talking about."
- Ric's dad
