Sound Design community
Hi everyone,
I’m getting more and more into sound design and I was wondering if you guys knew of some great and active online communities/forums. I haven’t been able to find anything but surely there must be something out there dedicated to the art!!!
I’m hoping to read/discuss with sound designers about their favorite libraries, their way of working, you know, go in depth in a few subjects…
Here is great, love it, but was hoping to find somewhere more specialized.
Thanks!!

Hi Gabriel,
I think it’s fair to say that most people on the Cow’s Audio Forum are sound designers. I don’t want to speak for the moderators but I think everyone here will be more than happy to discuss any sound design related topic with you. You can also check out the following forums:

Hey guys,
I had posted an answer but for some reason it didn’t get through or was removed… oh well.
Essentially I was thanking you for your input and felt grateful to know you’d be happy to discuss/help. 🙂I actually have two easy or general questions:
1) A gig I have right now asks for known Hollywood sounds like the T-rex growl in JPark, web-shooters sound in Spider-Man, etc. Are these available somewhere to buy?
I would guess they are since they’ve been used elsewhere but I couldn’t find anything.
2) I want to buy some sound libraries and was hoping to get your suggestions. Any favorites?
FYI I’m starting to build my sound collection so it’s not extensive right now. So I guess perhaps some good general “start up” libraries would be welcomed but also more specialized ones.
Anything that you love really : )
Oh yes, I’m also looking for great atmospheres (indoors/outdoors) so if any library comes to mind for that…
Thanks!

One great active sound design community is:
At SFXsource.com, we’ve got dinosaur sound effects. Not sure if it’s exactly the T Rex growl you are looking for but there are some definite dinosaur vocalizations in there.
And, tons of background sound effects meaning “ambiences” including outdoors sounds
