Default Sound Effects Websites

A while back I purchased "the general 6000" a great but EXPENSIVE collection of sound effects from SoundIdeas.com. I just got an e-mail that they have now placed 70,000 of their effects on-line for download at $5 each flat rate. Check it out here at StockMusic.com

Also for those who haven't searched a lot around CB you'll find a lot of us like Sounddogs.com (that's where I have been buying my individual effects from). Their prices vary from about $2-$15 depending on the length and quality of the effect.

Looks like if you are buying a short sound, Sound Dogs is the way to go but a longer sound you might get a better deal from Stock Music.

Yes there are free sources of sound effects out there but the quality is poor compared to these companies.

Great resources, thanks Gaff. I am a fan of Sound Dogs as well. I have also used the site below. Not the best database, but I have found many many effects I needed there.

Check out this old post from good old Wolf825. I don't know how many sites still work but it's worth checking out.
