There is a handful of traditional comic sound effects one hears regulary in cartoon productions - do they have a name? --Abdull 11:49, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Copyright?
Is it true that sound effects cannot be copyrighted? --205.173.240.21 13:38, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sound Effects Copyrights
See the Sound Ideas FAQ for one company's opinion on the copyrighting of Sound Effects.
Most companies selling sound effects assert their copyright over them, and/or make the users of their sound effect comply with an EULA as a condition of that use. Iluvcapra 03:30, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sound effects vs. Audio effects
I think the Sound effect article should be split into two articles: Sound effects and Audio effects.
Typically, the term "sound effect" is used to refer to a recording (for example, applause, slide whistle, etc.), while the term "audio effect" is used to refer to a process (flanging, chorus, reverb, etc.) which is applied to an audio signal.
These two categories are quite distinct, and putting them in a single article tends to confuse them.
