Hey guys,

This is the fourth video our Player Character series taking about sounds.

The topics we are going to cover in this tutorial are:

• Intro - 00:55 - Sound considerations and why they are important in game design
• Audio Resources - 03:38 - Finding free sounds using freesound.org
• Tools - 05:19 - Editing those sounds using Audacity
• Import Audio - 11:55 - And finally importing them into Unreal for future use

Additionally here are a number of good resources for free music and sound ( as long as you include the correct copyrights )

• Free Sound - https://freesound.org/- collection of various amateur and professional sounds
• Soundbible - http://soundbible.com/royalty-free-sounds-1.html - another grouping of free sound effects
• Unreal Marketplace: Human Vocalizations - https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/human-vocalizations - a lot of questionable grunts
• 99Sounds - http://99sounds.org/free-sound-effects/ - tons of content from sound effects to music

As well as a link to a few different Audio Editors:
