[casual_games] Res: Res: Tools for creating sound effects

[Austin Haas]

I do a lot of sound effects with a microphone and sampler. It's really easy to get a variety of "base" sounds by sampling various things, especially noises from your mouth.

"snd" is another free wave editor. It's extremely advanced, but it's not for the casual user. I'm not sure what platforms it is available on other than Linux, though. It allows multitrack mixing, which is really valuable when developing sound effects. A lot of fx are made by combining multiple sounds (e.g. explosion w/ glass shattering or debris in the background) and it's extremely useful to be able to audition sounds together and tweak them independantly without having to merge them together first.
