Incredible quantity of SFX. I think the sale price is just for two days.

A very comprehensive collection. I’ve owned the General series on CDs for many years.

The link seems to show a price of $995?

Sale's over, I guess

I've gotten many times the original price from several SI libraries, and the 6000 series is at the top of the list.

Not to annoy the nice folks at Sound-Ideas, but if you have the older, delivered on CDs (or tape?) collections they will let you download them with all the meta-data included.

This deal is up again for another 24 hours or so at Audio Plugin Deals - https://audioplugin.deals/product/the-o ... und-ideas/

FYI - the naming of these files isn't great, however the fields within the WAVs themselves are well populated. Using Advanced Renamer and MP3tag, I got the filenames exactly as I want them now.

I haven't done a lot of sound design lately (where do I find the gigs??), but all of my Sound Ideas (and BBC) collections remain my first choice. There are a ton of other developers creating really cool SFX collections, and I have a few, but I just don't seem to need new ones as much as I did before I bought the General Series stuff.

I also jumped on the Basehead bandwagon a couple of years ago. The current version is amazing, it makes finding lots of sounds so easy. Which would seem to be a problem, too many choices, except it isn't. Add in Boom Library's Sound Weaver and the possibilities are endless, and yet somehow manageable. I've considered Krotos Studio, but Sound Weaver does what I need, and with the lack of paying work I can't justify the additional purchase.
