Sound FX, where to get

[Knifefcuk]

I'm finding that hunting for sound FX are taking up more time than they're worth. E.g. it takes half an hour for a 3 second bite. And then that bite sounds too cheesy anyway.

So I was just wondering where the experienced guys go for theirs. Right now I search Flashkit first, then it's off to surfing and even Kazaa sometimes. Cheapest way out would be muchly appreciated.

You could try out:

Kirupa.com
Flashadvisor.com

And you could search for sounds with:

Findsounds.com

the best one is www.soundfx.com, just sign up there and you can find lots of sounds easy

Thanks guys. Some of those sites are familiar to me. But none have the ability to preview the FX from the same page as Flashkit.com has.

However, I also looked at www.sound-effects-library.com who have detailed decriptions of their sounds. I was looking for a window opeing effect, I got "Windows - Wood Window - Internal - Close Up - Slide Up Or Down In Wood Rails", which was exactly what I was looking for. And it sounds real too.

Hint: Save it to disk, and edit out the parts you don't need with Cool Edit or somesuch.
