Dry Sound Effects

Dry sound effects, and dry cuts both ways here. Dry as in no reverb, with announcer voices, robot voices and phone notifications supplied clean, and wet or phone speaker versions alongside some of them. Or dry as in not raining: tyres skidding on dry tarmac and traffic passing on dry roads. Both are useful. A dry recording is the kind you can put anywhere.

In voice work, dry means no reverb or effects, and the announcer recordings come both ways, so a countdown or a kill streak call can go straight in or be placed in a space of your own. The robot voices and game phrase sets cover Narration and in-game lines. For phones, the notifications come as dry originals next to versions that sound like they're playing through a phone speaker. Handy for app demos. On the road, dry is the opposite of Wet, with drift skids and burnouts on dry tarmac, and traffic passing on dry roads. Keeping a dry version is always worth it, because reverb can be added later but never really taken away.
