You'll find it hanging on the museum wall, right next to cassette tape and the stone tablet. It's official, the CD is history. At least in the world of sound effects libraries. Rob Nokes, founder/president of Sounddogs in Los Angeles, the largest online sound effects library, says he'd be hard pressed to sell libraries on CD, even at a discount. Brian Nimens of Sound Ideas in Toronto adds, "I never thought I'd see the death of the compact disc." Sound Design for 'The Americans'
The Soviet spies of FX's The Americans run a Washington, D.C., travel agency, kill to protect the interests of the Soviet Union, raise two children, flatten all opponents in hand-to-hand combat, and don wild wigs to impersonate C.I.A. agents and a host of others—all in a day's work.

| | Featured Products | | Black Box Analog Design HG-2
The HG-2 ($2,780) is a line-level, stereo unit designed to add saturation, harmonics, natural compression, increased RMS and enhancement during mixing and mastering. Features include Cinemag input transformers feeding two paths. The main path travels through a 6U8A Pentode tube stage that drives the following Triode stage, which produces subtle harmonics to full-on saturation. A parallel signal path uses a set of 12AX7 tubes voiced specifically for harmonics and saturation; this parallel saturation circuit is outfitted with a 3-way Tilt switch that allows the user to choose the frequency content of the signal feeding the circuit. The "low" position saturates just the low midrange and sub frequencies; the "flat" position saturates full bandwidth; and the "high" position saturates only the high midrange and high frequencies. Rupert Neve Designs RNDI Direct Box
The RNDI from Rupert Neve Designs ($299) uses a custom Rupert Neve-designed transformer and a Class-A biased, 48-volt phantom-powered discrete FET amplifier to balance a signal from an instrument or a 1,000-watt amp. With sonics extending 100 kHz, unrivaled phase coherence, steel construction, and classic Rupert Neve tone and design, this is the first stand-alone DI bearing Rupert Neve's name. Features include level handing from an instrument (+21dBu) or speaker level up to +41.5 dBu. Output level measures +11.5 dBu at maximum input level, and output impedance at less than 40 ohms for driving long lines without effort.
