Has anyone used this product

? If not does anyone of know of any really good SF Sound Effects sites (preferably free) and if not perhaps good CDs as the quality on most that I find are just the same as my 3yr old can do.

Here's one that's free - everything else I've seen you have to buy:

Cool! Now I need a sound mixing board for my laptop!

I've been doing that sort of stuff for years. There's a crude but free mixer I wrote back in 2002 you can get here. (There are some tips on distorting voice recordings to sound like Star Wars stormtroopers and x-wing fighter pilots.) I was thinking the other day of updating it but I just don't have the time at present.

As for sounds ...

Over the years, whenever I visit a music store I check out the soundtrack section. There's often a few SFX (sound effects) CDs there and I've built up a sizeable collection. In general SF SFX sound cheap and are best avoided unless you're going for a 60's B-movie feel. That said on the Soundtrack CD for Star Trek Generations they did have a few good SFX tracks as well as the music.

Also, don't be limited by a sounds title. I've taken the crash sequence from the afore-mentioned Generations CD and play approx 75% of it followed by the same 75% in reverse and it sounds like a gas giant refuelling skim. Or a garden fireworks display (without other sounds) can sound like distant sporadic smallarms fire during a modern day civil war.

Unfortuneately I can't share these for copyright reasons but you get the idea.

Regards PLST

Not for nothing, but that's really freaking nice! It's exactly what I was looking for, especially combined with SS's free sound effects link!

Have you ever thought of doing any more work on it?
