FOUR SOUND EFFECTS THAT MADE TV HISTORY!..in Jolly Olde...

The British Broadcasting Corporation is no stranger to topics of an esoteric nature. So it should come as no surprise that they discuss the equally esoteric subject of sound effects. I came across this interesting article at the BBC website.

The address is: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/7365120.stm

The subject is: FOUR SOUND EFFECTS THAT MADE TV HISTORY

Worth a quick read and not only that, it is possible to purchase the BBC Sound Effects Library at Sound Ideas.

In fact, do a Google search on BBC RADIOPHONIC WORKSHOP for additional detail on how sound effects were created previous to the advent of electronic audio synthesis and developments in digital sound design using analog tape machines and audio processors.
