This is where it all began at Sound Ideas - our original Series 1000 royalty free sound effects audio tape library was the first sound effect library of its kind to be made available on compact disc. Its 28 CDs contain over 3,000 professional quality analog sound effects in a wide variety of categories. This collection from the 1960s and 70s is also a valuable source of vintage archival sound effects.
