 RF> Why does it take so long for the CD player in Shadow Warrior

 RF> a few seconds, at most.
This I've never heard of.  Joe might have, though - toss this one his way.
 RF> But at any rate, my compliments on the music and SFX work in SW.
Thanks!
 RF> I'm curious, though - how did you record the various gun firing sounds
 RF> (say, for the riot gun and the Uzi)?
These two sounds I didn't do.  Jim Norwood was doing his own sounds before
I came in on the project.  These we decided not to mess with.  The other
gun sounds are mostly mine, though, and are either Sound Ideas or Hollywood
Edge samples that have been heavily modified, mixed with other sounds, or
otherwise engineered.  All except for the rocket launcher, which is a trade
secret. 
 RF> The clinking of shell casings as they hit the ground is a nice touch,
 RF> BTW.
Again, Jim did the Uzi shells.  I did foley work on the shotgun shells,
though, thanks to Targetmasters here in Garland (blatant plug).  They let
me go out on their firing range while no one was using it, where I grabbed
a bunch of spent shotgun shells.  I took them and the DAT recorder home,
where I recorded them as I dropped them onto a marble plant stand top on
the floor of my wife's clothes closet (you'd be amazed at how great a sonic
dampener all those shoes and tons of clothes make).
