I'm going to let you in on a little secret: Rayman for PS1, Toys VS Nightmares for PC flash, Jackie Chan Stuntmaster, and Crisis Beat all utilize some sound effect files from The Cartoon Trax 1. And right now, I'm trying to locate the source of Crisis Beat's "anime-style" sound effects (the kind we heard in Alvin Earthworm's Super Mario Bros Z). Thanks to this, I'm getting better at expanding my vocabulary knowledge in terms of sound effect names (E.G, the sound that cues when an object appears in Rayman is a cartoon xylophone and Rayman's running sound is a cartoon horse galloping in Cartoon Trax 1.) Now I can better visualize how these sound effects got their names when they were first created.
So now I know where to begin my search for the sound effects from my past to today! But there's a glitch: some of these albums don't appear on Source Audio. I searched all over Source Audio (https://soundideas.sourceaudio.com/albums), but no luck. So I need help to acquire any discontinued or archived sound effect libraries like this if possible. Here's the links to the Hollywood Edge and Sound Idea's wiki pages to show the list of libraries they made; some of them don't appear on Source Audio, so I need help finding an archive of some of their discontinued libraries somewhere: https://soundeffects.fandom.com/wiki/So ... Canada_Ltd.
https://soundeffects.fandom.com/wiki/The_Hollywood_Edge
It's imperative I get it in their original unedited sound file form and in MP3 as .wav is too big and .ogg could crash certain programs like Vegas Pro.
Here are the sound libraries I've been logging since I first began digging through my favorite TV shows, movies, cartoons, and video games that also don't appear on Source Audio: DePatie, DFE, Disney, Elektra Records, Famous Studios, FOX, Star Trek: Original TV Series, Joel Valentine, Hacienda, Hanna Barbera, Horta, Horta Hacienda, Alex Fresno, BBC, Bob Clampett, Harry Bluestone, Nickelodeon, Nelvana, New Warner Bros, NTWK, OMI, Pro Sound Effects, PSEL, Rocky and Bullwinkle, 20th Century Fox, Audio Effects Co., Rich Harrison, Mark Mangini, Richard L. Anderson, Skywalker, Warner Bros, Turner Entertainment, Unknown Sound Effects Library, and Valentino.
Please help find the libraries in the above paragraph if you can. And also, I need the SFX libraries used by Alvin Earthworm in his Super Mario Bros Z series (machine gun, chaos emerald glows, Koopa Bros power up with the chaos emerald for their special formation attack, dashing, explosions, punches, kicks, land/fall/hit on a hard surface, death ray, rocket blast offs, special attacks, Koopa Bros thumbs up, Axem Black and Green join to make a axe attack etc.).
Remember the Skywalker sound library I listed? I have yet to find the library for online download.
https://soundeffects.fandom.com/wiki/So ... ng_at_once And sound effects like this are from a now discontinued library. I couldn't find it on Source Audio. BTW, this sound file is heard in Total Recall (Arnold Schwarzenegger) where Richter's goons open fire in the escalator scene.
And these sound effects are heard and used literally everywhere (cartoons, movies, TV, and especially video games). Therefore, no one should bother to care who's using them, should they? Looking for one law breaker who's using something very commonly heard is like looking for a needle hidden in a haystack. So I'm certain the head of the copyrighted material wouldn't waste their time and money hunting down one individual with the "illegally" acquired item - let alone millions of them on this planet. Alot of people have used them for their "crappy" stop motion films and they never had problems.
Help me acquire discontinued sound effect libraries please

Hey, *sigh of relief* thank you!
You can't imagine the stress I'm undergoing after what happened recently. Not to mention my migraine after hitting a double whammy today: after my 28 day mute expired, they muted me again for ANOTHER 28 days!
But yeah, how can something as innocent as asking where I can acquire this audio file (stock music for Most Shocking Police Videos or Skywalker Sound sound effect) be deemed... a FELONY?! Like... asking questions is a way to learn! Also, I have high doubts that Alvin Earthworm ever purchased any sprites or sound effects or music for his Super Mario Bros Z.
With that aside, if you can find the audio library links to the remaining few I mentioned: DePatie, DFE, Disney, Elektra Records, Famous Studios, FOX, Star Trek: Original TV Series, Joel Valentine, Hacienda, Hanna Barbera, Horta, Horta Hacienda, Alex Fresno, BBC, Bob Clampett, Harry Bluestone, Nickelodeon, Nelvana, New Warner Bros, NTWK, OMI, Pro Sound Effects, PSEL, Rocky and Bullwinkle, 20th Century Fox, Audio Effects Co., Rich Harrison, Mark Mangini, Richard L. Anderson, Skywalker, Warner Bros, Turner Entertainment, Unknown Sound Effects Library, and Valentino. That will really help relieve my whole migraine. And also, any sound effect libraries listed here: https://soundeffects.fandom.com/wiki/So ... Canada_Ltd. but are not available on Source Audio.
Please and thank you.

Re: Help me acquire discontinued sound effect libraries please
You can't really... ask... how to pirate something. It's not like it can't be done, but asking on a forum is a really bad idea, because piracy is in fact illegal. You're asking how to do something illegal. Nobody can reasonably respond.Cartoondude135 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2024 6:20 pm But yeah, how can something as innocent as asking where I can acquire this audio file (stock music for Most Shocking Police Videos or Skywalker Sound sound effect) be deemed... a FELONY?!

I'm NOT pirating stuff. I'm asking for links to the original holder sites that distribute these sounds.
Did I ask for any TORRENTS or KEYGENS? NO! I didn't! I just need to know if these sound files are still available for download in MP3 out there somewhere.

You can buy them from the copyright owner. If the copyright owner isn't making them available, then too bad. You're on your own because anything else is illegal and it's against our rules for users to help you break the law.
Locking post because we've had the "is piracy ethical" discussion a thousand times. Do whatever you want. Just don't discuss or facilitate it here.
