The Sound Design Discord has been an inspiration for a lot of people in the last number of years, and we realized pretty quickly that the free resources we were finding across the internet were getting lost in conversation a bit too much. In order to combat this, I created a spreadsheet, which I also turned into a website, as a one-stop-shop for any free audio resources we could find.
