wanting to license sound effects

Posted on

Member Since: Sep 25, 2007

Hi everyone,

I work for a company that is looking to license various sound effects files. We'll essentially then be selling these as loops (for use with our own software), so we can't simply buy a sound effects CD and use that. So, we're looking for someone who has created their own library of sound effects who is willing to license them to us. We're looking for a non-exclusive buyout, which means that we would have the rights to use the sounds in whatever way we see fit, but the person who licensed them to us would also have full rights to them, and could sell them him/herself, or license them to someone else.

One thing that also might make this a bit more difficult is that we're looking for clips that are a minimum of 30 seconds (preferably longer, 1-3 minutes). For example, if one of the files was a recording of a crackling fire, we wouldn't want to hear the exact same crackle and pop every 5 seconds.

Here are some of the types of sounds that we'd like to license:

Whale song
Crackling fire
Ocean sounds
Jungle sounds
A variety of bird songs
Wind, rain
etc.

If anyone is able to provide this for us, please email me at [email protected]. Please put "sound effects" in the subject field (or the email will likely be automatically deleted).

thanks for your time!

The only sound effects I've created myself are probably unfit for your needs.

I won't elaborate.

Tobin, I'm with dB on trying those guys. Although depending on your timeline I might be able to help you with some of them. But it wouldn't be for a couple of weeks yet before I get time to run through and find them.

is this for a 'mood cd' type thing or are you gonna be marketing to musicians and whatnot? i'm just judging by your request, but i'm not sure a 'home-recording' is what you're looking for....a dedicated "foley artist" might be who your are looking for.

now if it's beats and loops you want, there ARE ppl that can help.

all the best

Well, if nothing else, we clearly got a few decent keywords out of that spammy, stupid post. :-)
