hi, i was wondering if you guys have experience with some sound/foley libraries.

i need something containing all kinds of sounds, preferably a complete package that sounds nice and doesn't miss much stuff that would require to purchase additional sound libraries.

however, i don't need hundreds of footstep sounds or thousands of gunshots, just a few sounds but covering a wide range of use.

what libraries would you recommend buying?

 

Freesound is your best bet, but youll have to end up compiling a folder of your own.

 

i used freesound in the past a few times - but i think their quality sucks big time. i have to listen to many many sounds until i can finally find a decent one. my guess is one of 100 sounds there is actually usable. i was thinking more like: http://www.blastwavefx.com/p128/wav...& Production Elements Suite/product_info.html

There are 2015 package too as free. You can buy full libraries if you like them.

 

I am a sound designer for a green-lit upcoming indie game.
Best bet is to actually record and/or sound design everything yourself, if you are good at it and have sufficient equipment. I've also occasionally used Freesound as source and as said above, the quality can definitely vary alot. But usually you can tweak it in ways so that it fits. Just make sure you respect the copyright and royalty agreement (they are all different).

There are libraries out there, but I haven't really found a good all-in-one goto lib that would fit all my needs. Also, making your own is so much more fun and rewarding, even if it takes some work.

Edit: To mention a few that companies that I really like: BOOM library, Bluezone and Hiss And a Roar.

 

this looks very promising, thanx very much, ill give it a try.

@Baxter i know recording the stuff can be very fun, i did record a short 3d animation entirely once. took me one day per minute it was fun, but now i'm more concerned about time. as i do mostly music and only sometimes need to quickly make some sounds (and don't have the equipment or space at the office).
