Since 1978, Sound Ideas has devoted itself to producing unique and authentic professional sound effects of every description and variation. Sound Ideas established itself as an audio industry leader with the release of the Series 1000 General Sound Effects Library on compact disc in 1985 — breaking ground with the first commercially available sound effects library on CD. In April 1987, Sound Ideas released the first digitally recorded sound effects library — the Series 2000 General Sound Effects Library.
Sound Ideas’ commitment to quality is absolute, and its state-of-the-art recording studio in Toronto is one of the few recording facilities in the world dedicated to the recording, mixing and mastering of sound effects. Sound Ideas’ professional production consultants provide unique insight and assistance to their clients, and the constant development and upgrading of the Sound Ideas Website (www.sound-ideas.com) helps them maintain the reputation for excellent customer communication and service.
The Sound Ideas product line now includes more than 100 collections, used by recording studios, radio stations, television and cable networks, post-production houses, corporations, Web designers and game developers all over the world. At the Audio Engineering Society Convention in October 2002, Sound Ideas added seven new products to its ever-expanding lineup:
