Oh yes. Advantage Audio does seem limiting. They also apparently do not know how a Warner Bros. cartoon is supposed to sound, except maybe the late 60s Warner/Seven Arts shorts, as "Wabbit"/"New Looney Tunes" suggests. It's also weird how they use those repetitive H-B sound effects on "Wabbit" (they seem ESPECIALLY fond of using the "tube take"), but "Be Cool Scooby-Doo" didn't have very many of them! (The only one the show seemed to typically use was the "Scooby's Teeth Chatter," but that was it.) Was it Bizarro Day with Advantage Audio or something?

If a fire alarm goes off, they seem to typically use Hollywood Edge's school bell sound effects. This is VERY unfitting and unrealistic, as bells are rarely used today in the United States as fire alarms. They were once quite common, but many ave since been replaced with modern horn/strobe units (the ones that sound like screechy smoke alarms) or even voice-evacuation! Someone at Advantage Audio could probably record a modern fire alarm system being tested or something and use that in future productions.

Whenever they do something with a storm in it, they usually just use the thunder and lightning sound effects from the Series 6000 The General library. There are other thunder effects out there they could use; I don't think I've even heard them use the Dolby Digital thunderclap! (It's that certain lightning sound from the Peter Michael Sullivan Signature Series, named so from its' appearance in the Dolby DIgital promo with the helicopter flying through a rainy city.) They seem to also avoid any Castle Thunder variation like the plague, even in cartoony stuff that uses numerous H-B sound effects like "Wabbit"/"New Looney Tunes!"

For Warner Bros., I think for their future Looney Tunes stuff, they should stick with DigiPost.TV, as Robert Hargreaves seems to truly be in tune with how the classic WB cartoons sounded.
