Paul Virostek, author of the rather excellent Creative Field Recording blog, has just launched a sound effects search tool, for finding indie sound effects quickly and easily. Virostek, who has previously turned his efforts to re-writing the Soundminer metadata the free Firearmsfx sound library and other community and content sharing endeavours, created Sound FX Search with two specific objectives in mind: To help sound professional to discover sound libraries and bundles quickly and, to enable independent library creators reach a wider sound-seeking audience.
Described as a “no-strings-attached text-based portal with links back to each library’s native website”, Sound FX Search is a community-spirited portal that is free for everyone.
Paul is also the author of a number of books on field recording, and sharing sounds.
I love this. The layout is super elegant and this is by far the most comprehensive guide I’ve yet seen.
