thank you
You’re welcome!
This is a phenomenally versatile package! With such a wide range of sounds, I’m not sure what project I want to start next just to include them! –But I certainly will start something, as I always do, and use these new 99sounds, as I almost always do.
Thanks for the kind words! :)
Hi I just purchased this pack that promised 400gb of sounds and I only received 9gbs. Can someone please help.
Hi Joshua, the freely downloadable library on 99Sounds (the one on this page) contains 3.8 GB of sounds. For more sounds (the entire 400+ GB collection by Marcel Gnauk) you should visit their Bandcamp page. https://freetousesounds.bandcamp.com/album/royalty-free-sound-libraries-how-to-download-all
