Using sounds to enhance a campaign...

Mar 02, 2004 10:32:19 I've been wanting to add background sounds to my campaign.
Whether it be water wave noises when they're at sea or clang of steel during combat.

Does anyone else use background sound to enhance a campaign, and any suggestions of where to find alot of these sounds.
I could capture them from movies, but that seems like alot of work if I can find them.

Thanks!

However, video game music is generally composed as a round, and provides appropriate mood music without being too distracting from the game itself. I prefer the background music from Heroes of Might and Magic 3 myself.
