There is a handful of traditional comic sound effects one hears regulary in cartoon productions - do they have a name? --Abdull 11:49, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright?

Is it true that sound effects cannot be copyrighted? --205.173.240.21 13:38, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sound Effects Copyrights

See the Sound Ideas FAQ for one company's opinion on the copyrighting of Sound Effects.

Most companies selling sound effects assert their copyright over them, and/or make the users of their sound effect comply with an EULA as a condition of that use. Iluvcapra 03:30, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sound effects vs. Audio effects

I think the Sound effect article should be split into two articles: Sound effects and Audio effects.

Typically, the term "sound effect" is used to refer to a recording (for example, applause, slide whistle, etc.), while the term "audio effect" is used to refer to a process (flanging, chorus, reverb, etc.) which is applied to an audio signal.

These two categories are quite distinct, and putting them in a single article tends to confuse them.

[edit] External Link Request for Concideration

A site that I have found particularly useful and continue to use is one that provices free sound effects to it's visitors. http://www.freesfx.co.uk is the site in question. I have added it in to the external link section for this page once but it got deleted. Can this site be reviewed as to whether it's content it justified to become a permenant external link? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.43.25.65 (talk • contribs)

That link is sort of promotional and I don't think it adds much value to article. There also is no such thing as permanent external links on Wikipedia. Consensus changes, any link can be deleted at any time for a good reason. (Requestion 17:50, 8 June 2007 (UTC))

I would like to request that http://www.mysoundfx.com be added as an external link. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mysoundfx (talk • contribs) 09:59, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

A good link for free sounds is http://fxhome.com/sounds/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackeveritt (talk • contribs) 11:14, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reverse echo

Jimmy Page is supposed to have claimed to have invented "reverse echo" for Whole Lotta Love, but where is a cite to this claim? More importantly, what would you call the beginning of Are You Experienced? Hendrix was just a few years earlier, I believe. Isn't there a Beatles example, too? Or Alan Parsons? I can't remember. Just wondering. I don't care enough to edit this article right now, maybe someone else can add a cite that shows Page did "invent" this. Eaglizard 23:32, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
