Sound effects for Ardour

Getting Stuff Done How do I .... ?
#1

Hi folks~

Are there any sound effects for layering into an Ardour recording? Things like dogs barking or train whistles, fog horns, water etc. The last time I ever did anything like that, the sounds were on a vinyl LP!!

Thank you!

Yes there are, just like there are for anything, but does Ardour have anything to do with it? Not so much.

I would suggest looking at these sites for instance…

http://www.freesound.org/
http://www.soundsnap.com/

Or you can buy complete collections from Sound Ideas or The Hollywood Edge if you desire.

As always read license statements carefully when dealing with this.

@kvk: if you’re on OS X, there are lots of SFX samples in the garageband audio file folders that we put a shortcut to in the import dialog.
