A lad in sane productions require 3 sound effects for our forthcoming production. The first is a soccer crowd singing 'You'll never walk alone,' The second, the sound of horses galloping (ala cavalry charge) followed by the sound of the horses falling /neighing etc...I'm thinking Charge of the Light Brigade minus any guns or canons... The 3rd is the sound of arrows fired into the air by a group of archers.. if anyone can help, or point me in the right direction, I'd be most appreciative. cheers Johnny Grim A lad in sane productions

Try Goldwave too

We've used Goldwave, which is free shareware, for audio engineering. It's fantastically simple, be brave and muck about with it, you'll be amazed at what you can do. It is free (although you do get a licence). I created a dam burst for Labrug once by layering various SFX and fiddling about, was great fun! Also, consider using Sound Cue System to actually run your sound from a laptop plugged into the theatre's sound system (or your long suffering parent's amp & speakers). It is also shareware, not free, but only about $20 and it also allows manipulation (fading in/out, joining cues, etc.) of sound rather than just playing back what you've already burnt to a CD. AudioSparx.com has a good range of sound effects if the others haven't come up trumps yet. The site charges for effects/music but it's very reasonable. All those men in kilts!! Oh my!!
