Fmod.io – Sound Effects for Game Developers

As I was just implementing the first pass of sound in my latest game, I found this particularly interesting.

I previously purchased this:

http://www.universalsoundfx.com/

A "mystery bag" of 4k different sounds for $40.

I used something like 16 sounds in the pack though I might use more. I'm quite happy with that.

I tried some other things - freesound.org has no quality but I imagine you can find a gem in there every so often.

I'm still missing some sounds for magic so I installed fmod and looked for magic sounds in the library. I used a few search terms like 'magic' 'spell', etc but I only turned up some ambient noises and UI/fairydustish stuff. Pretty surprising when they advertise 500k sounds.

Some other useful resources for sounds (all free) are http://freesound.org, http://freemusicarchive.org, and the tools BFXR and CFXR (for generating sounds).

Please reduce or remove the background music in your demo video. I could barely make out the sounds being picked and that was probably the only reason why I watched the video.

It looks like they've aggregated SoundRangers and a few other library sites. Does anyone have opinions on the quality of their selection?

Loopmasters? The pricing might be interesting to have a look at. I'd wonder if there's overhead being tacked on in the process for the 'value add' of drag and drop from the cloud.

They do have quality material though over at Loopmasters, no doubt about that.

Okay, I'm a potential customer. It took way too long to realize there were sound effects happening in that video. Get rid of the bg music, or drop its audio down to <10%, and choose a track that is not electronic.

Lol, what a bunch of a-holes.
