[casual_games] Res: Tools for creating sound effects

[Lennard Feddersen]

I use SoundRangers.com a lot - nice sample library at ~1-3 USD each.  
For smaller games with 15-30 sounds this is a very cost effective way to 
get a good sounding game in a hurry.  I wanted several announcers for 50 
Castles but the traditional recording studio route was far too expensive 
for my indie budget so I went with www.brandxaudio.com.  They provided 
several takes of each announcer, I was pleased with the results and they 
were able to work within my budget.
