where would one get sampels of say waves or seagulls? or nature samples for that matter, any ideas

I found some decent wave samples off of kazaa. Couldnt find any other good nature sounds though.. I think I'll just rent out some sample CDs from my college and rip them :thepirate

hmm... dunno, but if you have some game with nature samples.. for example Civilization, you can find some there if the sounds is in .wav... they aren't always

yeah, just steal the sounds from sim games n crap, like age of empires 1 & 2 n :)

some u may have to rip because they in beefy blocks and dont exist as single wav files

Don't forget that if you want to be really serious theres always the option of going to the store and getting one of those cheepy relaxation tapes - you know, the kind to help you sleep or get your mind off of work... I've heard them in rainforest, ocean, and I'm sure theres alot more.

Hollywood Edge Premiere Edition and BBC samplecd's. They are pretty much a standard in movies. If they weren't able to record a specific ambience or sound themselves, you can be pretty sure they'll use one of those two series of samplecd's. Professionally recorded, stereo and high quality.

Don't forget most games use 22050 Hz samples (and even if the game has a 44.1kHz option, it's usually just interpolated).

I almost got the whole range (thank you school :D). If you get the whole range + extra editions, I think you're looking at 6-7000 $ of sample cd's.

http://www.hollywoodedge.com/the_ac...9&WebPage_ID=16 is a page of free samples such as you can find on Hollywood edge cd's, sadly they don't really show the real quality of the sample cd's.

If you want high quality sound FX then what you want is the Blue Box Sound FX set (16CDs). There is one whole CD devoted to waves and seagulls and the quality of the samples is just amazing!
