TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Ah, the joys of sound effects. I remember sitting in a sound studio during
my first year in animation at university, listening to a sound effects
library -- few effects more than a minute long -- for three hours straight.
I think the language centers in our brains were rewired after that.
I know of one Web site that has sound effects: Sound America
(http://www.soundamerica.com). I don't know what the quality is, though
they certainly have quantity.
Otherwise, there are hundreds of sound effects CDs out there, my favorites
being the ones from Sound Ideas and Hanna-Barbera. Stop by your local film
school or anywhere they teach broadcast media (a radio station might also be
helpful). I've also seen sound effects CDs at some libraries.
