The Sound Effects Library Celebrates It's 10th Anniversary Written by Matt Mighell On 23 April 2009
It's been 10 years to this day (27th April) since sound-effects-library.com first opened it's doors to the world wide web. We've been pretty innovative over this period having gone through being the first online library available offering instantly downloadable content to being the first to integrate Shockwave content with e-commerce. It seems like light years away when our first website was designed to stream audio seamlessly on 28.8 modems! and now we've grown to host almost 300,000 sound effects as well as 30,000 music tracks. Our sound effects have been used on so many hundreds of Films and TV shows that it would be impossible to credit them all but a huge thanks goes out from us to all of you who have helped to support and keep this site alive. May the next ten years get better and better.
