  • Where can I find some great sound effects?

    Posted by Sean Meehan on May 21, 2009 at 1:03 am

    Hello all,
    I’m working on a student film, and I’m noticing more and more that most of the sound effects that come with Soundtrack Pro are essentially useless for most applications. That being said, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a place to find great (legal) sound effects that I could get my hands on. Some specific sounds that I’m looking for are what I call the “Hot Fuzz noises,” a.k.a. dynamic “whooshes” and things of that sort. Essentially, I’d like anything better than what STP offers, and I’d really like to avoid excessive practical foleying on my end.

    Thanks!

    Soundtrack has some great whooses and foley stuff. It’s a start point. You need to use them to create what you need. Double up sounds, eq them, reverb, etc.

    Sound fx are pretty cheap. Just google.

    did you look under Apple Loops? there should be a Sound Ideas folder, as well as a sound effects folder in “Apple Loops”

    look under “science fiction”, “motions and transitions” as well as “home work” and “tech mechanical”

    they do sound familiar, thats why i screw around with em to make em sound different, slow down, speed up, pitch shift, run backwards.
    (i swear i could spend all day just meesing around with SFX. its great!)

    hope this helps
