I'm sure there are tons of archives out there for you to peruse, just 
be careful about legalities.

Try sounddogs.com for _inexpensive_ (like $3 for a sample) sound 
effects that you can preview.

For music -- you can probably find someone who'll do it for free so 
long as you're doing some style that is very commonly done in 
bedrooms.  Techno, trance, electronica, etc.  Finding high quality 
orchestral work isn't going to be cheap -- from an aspiring composer 
you may get it as cheap as $700-1000, but industry names can be 10-100x 
that.

If you're going for electronica/trance/house, then the easiest thing to 
do is peruse places like ReasonStation, MP3.COM, etc. and look for 
people that want to be known more than they want to make money.

[GD-General] Re: Free music and sounds

[Iain R. <i.n...@re...>]

Hello,

I bought a CD called '6,000 Sound Effects' from Amazon. Not the best
quality (many of them sound like they were recorded off the TV!) but
some of them might do the job if you don't mind mono. It's about what
you might expect for under a tenner. They are royalty-free. It's
certainly not a total solution, and may only provide one or two sound
effects you can actually use.

As for music, it's not hard to come up with ambient music (ala Tomb
Raider, Populous:The Beginning etc) with a MIDI keyboard if you have a
few spare hours (you only need a few chords!).

Ok, I asked our (Amazingly talented) sound guy here, this is a quote of =

6 would
be a good place to start - hollywood edge provide a load of good =

free sfx on their site.  You can also request a free cd that has all =
the
free sounds available on the site.  Unfortunately, good quality, well
recorded, useable sfx are never cheap.  There are a lot of rubbishy cds
around, but I wouldn't waste your money - there probably won't be much =
worth
having. =20

sonic foundry are really more interested in the home composer market.  =
They
have a very cheap cd with 1001 sfx, about half of which is useable.  =20

If there's something specific that you need, you can try
http://www.sound-effects-library.com/ here, it's possible to audition =
and
download the sfx you require, so you don't end up buying 4000 sfx you =
don't
need, just to get the two that you do...=20

Hope that helps, it sure looks like it should ;)

This is exactly what I was looking for!

I'm rather not into techno, but I will try and see what can I find.

Thanks for all the input!
