kendall - Spike didn't just "get a tune out of a..." My dad knew one of the musicians that worked in the band for a while and that fella said that he took the job because he thought it would be fun, but found it was the hardest work he'd ever done. For example, it was not uncommon for Spike to test a dozen different calibers of handgun and various powder loads in the blanks to get just the right sound for a gunshot sound effect. Other effects were just as meticulously tested and planned. And when recording, everything had to be just perfect.

But I agree, even given all that testing and planning, to get a tune from all the sound effects is amazing.
