The Dejal Sound Library consists of about 66Mb of sounds (totalling over 2,000 sounds!), including a wide variety of sound effects, speech and other sounds from various movies, TV programmes, etc. Many of the sounds I digitised myself and aren╒t available elsewhere. A complete catalogue of the library can be found on my ftp site or Web pages; it lists each and every sound, its size, origin, and other information, sorted by sound category and name. The catalogue was created with one of my Shareware programs, SndCataloguer¬.
The following Dejal Sound Library disks are available. Unless otherwise specified, the source is the movie or TV series of the same name. Categories also include sequels, e.g. ╥2001╙ sounds includes ╥2010╙ sounds. I reserve my right to change the collection as I see fit without prior notice. (Note: the first three are included with the Dejal Sound Utilities bundle if you don╒t choose which of these disks you╒d like.)

If you wish to order some of these sounds, simply specify which disks you want (or dividing the latter categories into 775k chunks to fit on floppies) and pay US$5 per disk for the first 4 disks (minimum) and US$3 per disk thereafter, to cover the disk(s), postage, and packaging; using the accompanying form. You can also request sounds from my collection when registering for my Shareware products, if you prefer.
Another option for those of you who have SyQuest drives is to order the Library on one or two 44Mb SyQuest cartridges. If you want the collection on only one cart, note those categories listed above that are on the second cart; you can specify whether you want them included (by excluding something else), or not. Two variations are available: either you provide one or two 44Mb SyQuest cartridges for me to use, or I can purchase one or two for you. The first variation costs US$200, the second US$300 for one or US$380 for two carts. Sorry, I can only handle 44Mb carts at this point. Any queries can be directed to the addresses below (via e-mail preferably).
Most of the sounds in my Library are sampled at 11kHz, being a good compromise between quality and size, and allowing me to store twice as many sounds as I could at 22kHz. I have found that there is very little perceivable difference in quality between sounds sampled at 22kHz and 11kHz. Some of the sounds are sampled at 22kHz with 3:1 compression, which gives about the same quality and takes less space than the same sound sampled at 11kHz, thanks to the compression.
Note: I make these sounds available to you on the understanding that I am not selling the sounds themselves, but rather simply charging for the disks, a bubblebag to protect them, international air mail to anywhere in the world, and a little compensation for the huge amount of time I have spent collecting, organising, cataloguing, optimising, and otherwise pampering these sounds. I am not claiming copyright on these sounds, so you are free to copy them, give them away, upload them to your local BBS, or anything else you like. If you happen to be the copyright owner of any of these sounds and object to me distributing them, please write to me and I will remove the offending sounds from the collection.
