Software

Free, open-source audio editor. Record, cut, mix, and export - everything you need to produce a piece from start to finish.

Lightweight, cross-platform audio editor. Simpler than Audacity - good if you just need to trim and clean up a recording.

Collaborative library of Creative Commons licensed sound effects, field recordings, and samples. Great for adding texture to your piece.

Curated library of royalty-free music. Check individual track licences before use.

Over 33,000 sound effects from the BBC archive, available for personal, educational, and research use.
