Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

So I started a thread in the Audio Forum, to collect sound effects packs created by Newgrounds users. The goal being to collect a large volume of high-quality, original SFX available to flash authors, musicians, voice actors and anyone else who might be submitting content to Newgrounds.

The idea is for users to upload packs of SFX that they personally have created, so that we can build a large library of effects that no one has heard before.

I'll use this newspost to gather up the packs so we can keep it as an easy reference. So, here we go.

---------------------------------

First, we've got my first pack. Link here!

This is a pack of mp3s totaling 1.12 megabytes in size.

Contained in this pack are the following sounds:

Coin Drop: The sound of a single coin hitting a hard surface and rattling a little. 0:01

Coughing: A short male cough. 0:02

Crumbling Paper: Several sheets of paper being crumpled together. 0:07

Dialing a cell phone: Seven digits dialed and two American ringbacks, followed by a hangup beep. 0:17

Fizzy Soda: Soda fizzing inside the can. 0:04

Keyboard typing: Several bursts of rapid typing, with some desk boominess. 0:26

Match: Two unsuccessful match strikes, and a then one resulting in the match lighting. 0:04

Nikon: The sounds of my nikon camera powering up, zooming, autofocusing, and powering down. Some odd lens grinding I should be worried about. 0:16

Opening a can of soda: A little bit of room reverb. 0:01

Paper tear: Several tearing noises and some various paper handling noise. 0:09

Pretzel: One loud crunch followed by several chewing noises 0:05

Several Coins: Dropping several coins. Some distant sounds of bouncing. 0:01

Small crowd applause: An experiment in creating applause. Sounds a bit like a small crowd in a conference room. 0:06

Burp: A two-toned burp without much support. 0:01

Now the average NGer can make all those fancy-shmancy artsy songs using only soda cans, paper tears, and burps thanks to this!

I feel so artistically liberated now!

In any event, cool stuff indeed.

IMO Your music is bad and you should feel bad.

do you know that while you seem to be trying to cause me mental discomfort with your string of vaguely abusive reviews and zero voting, you're actually just giving me something to laugh at?

I might contribute to this, but can the sound effects be like techno and electronic sound effects, or do they have to be real life SFX?

Oct. 18, 2009 | 4:07 AM loansindi responds:

I think the focus is 'real' sounds, but I guess as long as it's something you've generated yourself, you're more than welcome to contribute. Remember to document the pack well.
