Hi Tony,
You can try visiting www.sounddogs.com (I think that's the address!). Sound Dogs are used by pretty much everyone everywhere, and they have a lot of different sound effects. They use different formats as well.

Yeah, I use them a lot - got some great stuff there, but you have to kind of wade through the crappy files that have a little crackle and buzz in them.

They haven't actually got what I want that I could find but it's a good site. I will definitely use them. Mind you I'm a lighting designer by trade sound is a bit off the track for me.
NaTue, 30 May 2006, 09:05 am I know exactly what you
I know exactly what you mean - lighting design is my preferred thing, but within a small company (3 people in Sticky Apple Legs) I've become the resident sound person as well. I used Sound Dogs to create a complete sound design/scape for a one hour show... No dialogue, just sound effects and background noise.
Unfortunately, I don't think anyone will have 'man being slapped on back of head'.

However with use of a face slap from a BBC CD and the good services of GoldWave, a great piece of Canadian Shareware not expensive and extremely easy to use I have created the effect I needed. I think. I'll see what the Director says this afternoon.
Thanks for your help
NaTue, 30 May 2006, 09:21 am Ah, yes, love Goldwave.
Ah, yes, love Goldwave. Bought a copy of it several years ago and have not stopped using it since!
Sounds like you've solved the problem!
