totallybueno 26 Report post Posted June 1, 2014 Hi there guys,I always have the same "problem" with games, I never find cool places for sounds, specially effects (usually I don´t use background music)... anyway, my question is, where do you find those sounds? Do you usually record some of them? Do you have supercool links for me? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

turnA 21 Report post Posted June 1, 2014 For sound effect, usually I can generate myself a decent sounding one with this tool: http://www.superflashbros.net/as3sfxr/For free sound editor, I use Audacity: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ . It works great for me 1 totallybueno reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alex_h 114 Report post Posted June 1, 2014 One really great source of free sound effects is http://www.freesound.org/ "Freesound is a collaborative database of Creative Commons Licensed sounds. Browse, download and share sounds." I've used sounds from there a lot and they are always really good quality. 2 Pooya72 and totallybueno reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mentuat 105 Report post Posted June 1, 2014 Audacity gets my vote for free'n'simple sound editingFor sound fx, this cropped up on this forum a few weeks ago: http://www.universalsoundfx.com $15 for a large selection of royalty free sounds Otherwise, I tend to use soundrangers.com for specific fx and short music loops 2 totallybueno and haden reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maxime 1 Report post Posted June 2, 2014 Kenney assets pack is very great. Lots of stuff and for a very cheap price, at least a share on social network for having the whole of it. 1 totallybueno reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fasol 1 Report post Posted April 14, 2015 Can anyone recommend a library of sound fx to buy/download? Something that is well-organized, easy to browse. The bigger, the better. I bought http://www.universalsoundfx.com/ , which is great, but its lacking cartoony sounds. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ninjadoodle 96 Report post Posted April 15, 2015 Paid - The SoundMatter Sound FX are awesome, really happy with them. Free - I often find really good stuff on Soundjay.com 1 drmop reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drmop 11 Report post Posted April 15, 2015 I also recommend SoundMatter, been using these for years. You do have to purchase them though, but well worth the money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aquinn 1 Report post Posted April 15, 2015 One you have the sounds, I recommend Wavasaur (free) for editing. Its really fast for chopping, fades, converting bit rates, sample rates, etc. Also has VST support.http://www.wavosaur.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
viibr 1 Report post Posted April 15, 2015 Shame. Sonniss were giving away 10GB of free sound effects for almost a month, but they ended it on the 2nd. There's usually someone on reddit (in the gamedev subreddit) posting links to free sound effects. I found this from there: http://99sounds.org/free-sound-effects/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BdR 105 Report post Posted May 5, 2015 It all depends on which sound effects you need. Some general sound effects sources are:http://www.superflashbros.net/as3sfxr/ is nice for 8 bit soundshttp://audiojungle.net/ offers some really cheap sound effects, my game "Find the Difference" uses some sounds from this soundpack If it's just a "small time" game or project you could always take some sound effects from another game or record it from a movie on DVD or from some tv show. In theory the original creator (EA, Warner Bros etc.) could contact you and sue for copyright infringement, but this seems highly unlikely. Especially when it's just general foley sound effects, like a door closing or a car engine starting etc. Something like a voice from The Simpsons is a different story because it's more recognisable. Of course, you could always just record some sound effects yourself from around the house and just edit with Audacity or something. The sound effects in my Snake Slider game are (I think all of them) just recorded using an ipod touch; biting into an apple, dragging a stone, turning a key etc. I'm currently working on a small project with all the sound effects recorded with an Android phone using one of the many WAVE recorder apps.
