The UCS (Universal Category System) has been updated to 8.1 with a small collection of new sub-categories. One of these is “Ambience-Protest”. That sounds a whole lot like We Are the People, right? We’ve updated most of the filenames and metadata in this library to keep it up to date with the latest UCS standards.

If you own We Are the People, and would like to update the filenames/metadata, you can follow the instructions found on our Previous UCS Post. All links and info have been updated with the latest UCS 8.1 metadata.

If you have any questions or issues, please let us know!

The following is a repost of a blog I wrote for A Sound Effect for my Implosion library:

I was scrolling through my Google news feed one night when something piqued my interest. The roof of a stadium was to be imploded in Milwaukee, WI. I’d never seen an implosion and thought it might be a neat thing to see (and of course record!), so I made plans to drive up.
