SEARCHING & AUDITIONING
Step One. Search for the sound you want.
Enter your text into the search box as is demonstrated to the right by someone looking for the sounds of a 'dog'. When you have entered your criteria press the 'GO' button
Step Two. Review the results found.
Below is an example of one of the results you may find from committing a search, with each result you will find a brief overview of the characteristics of the sound. For instance, using the result below as our example, the first thing we see is the icon. Click this to find out detailed information about this particular sound. Next we have the description of the sound. If the description is too long you will see ... [more]. To see the entire descriptioin (as demonstrated below) simply move your mouse over the [more] in brackets and a box will pop up allowing you to view it all.
Next we have 'duration', this is displayed in seconds and after that an indication as to whether the sound is a stereo or mono recording.
Now you will find the audition icon, press this to listen to a preview of the sound. (The preview feature requires that you have Macromedia Flash installed on your system).
To the right of the audition icon is the price of the sound and finally there is the 'add to cart' icon.
 
Step Three. Audition the sounds where the description meets your search criteria.
When you click the icon our sound effects and music track player (demonstrated below) will start playing you sound of choice. Please note this is a low quality highly compressed audition file and does not reflect the quality of the final download. Alondside the player you will also see an image of the waveform of the audio file.
 
 
Step Four. Move to the next page if you haven't found what your looking for.
At the bottom of the sound results page you will find and option to display between 25 and 200 sounds per page, this can be useful and time saving if your finding that you need to go quite deep into the results. There is also the option to move to the next set of results depending on how many we have in our database.
