I'm certainly going to be purchasing large amounts of sounds at once (if I do purchase any), which is why I'd prefer to default to free sounds where possible. I haven't done much research into buying libraries though, do you know if many of them offer downloads instead of physical media?

They tend to be rather expensive. It is when you buy entire packages, such as a CD or even a set of CD's, that the price per sound drops to practically nothing. But then you still have to pay out a larger sum up front to get that package. It just depends on how many sounds you need. If you need three or four sounds, then I'd buy the individual ones. If it is more a case of needing sounds when you think of something new to add to the game, I'd go for a general collection such as a few disks from the Sound Ideas 6000 series or something from the Hollywood Edge.

I took a look at some of soundDogs sounds yesterday, and they were asking $3.5 per sound or so, which is rather out of my budget. I've scene soni selling a couple libraries of sounds for around $0.25 to $1 per sound, is this generally average? -------------------------------------------------- From: "Thomas Ward" <thomasward1...@gmail.com> Sent: Saturday, August 03, 2013 12:37 PM To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Subject: Re: [Audyssey] looking for free weaponry sounds Hi John, Well, as I am primarily a commercial developer I don't really know of any free sound sites, but I can give you a list of good places to buy commercial libraries.
