- gxespino 11y agoPlease reduce or remove the background music in your demo video. I could barely make out the sounds being picked and that was probably the only reason why I watched the video.
- OJFord 11y agoThat may be deliberate to avoid recording the samples?
- personjerry 11y agoThat seems hardly relevant when they offer free full previews.
- zer01 11y agoCame here to say the same thing. For people selling audio, having dubstep in the foreground seems completely pants-on-head.
- statico 11y agoIt looks like they've aggregated SoundRangers and a few other library sites. Does anyone have opinions on the quality of their selection?
- 6stringmerc 11y agoLoopmasters? The pricing might be interesting to have a look at. I'd wonder if there's overhead being tacked on in the process for the 'value add' of drag and drop from the cloud. They do have quality material though over at Loopmasters, no doubt about that.
- davb 11y agoSome other useful resources for sounds (all free) are http://freesound.org http://freesound.org, http://freemusicarchive.org http://freemusicarchive.org, and the tools BFXR and CFXR (for generating sounds).
- bobwaycott 11y agoI love CFXR!
- AntiRush 11y agohttp://opengameart.org/ http://opengameart.org/ has music and sound effect sections, too. They are under a variety of Creative Commons licenses, for the most part.
- bobwaycott 11y agoOkay, I'm a potential customer. It took way too long to realize there were sound effects happening in that video. Get rid of the bg music, or drop its audio down to <10%, and choose a track that is not electronic.
- geon 11y agoOr at least a track that is not composed of random sound effects... So obnoxious.
- throwaway13337 11y agoAs I was just implementing the first pass of sound in my latest game, I found this particularly interesting. I previously purchased this: http://www.universalsoundfx.com/ http://www.universalsoundfx.com/ A "mystery bag" of 4k different sounds for $40. I used something like 16 sounds in the pack though I might use more. I'm quite happy with that. I tried some other things - freesound.org has no quality but I imagine you can find a gem in there every so often. I'm still missing some sounds for magic so I installed fmod and looked for magic sounds in the library. I used a few search terms like 'magic' 'spell', etc but I only turned up some ambient noises and UI/fairydustish stuff. Pretty surprising when they advertise 500k sounds.
