Company History

Established in 1998 in Seattle, Washington by Barry Dowsett and Kevin Tone. Working together in the recording industry as sound designers and musicians, they recognized the need for audio content optimized for use in the emerging field of interactive and ‘new’ media. Initially providing custom sound design and Foley for interactive projects, within months Soundrangers expanded their focus to include the development of a library of original sound effects and production music designed and optimized to easily integrate into interactive media. This library was designed from the beginning for audition and download over the internet at [http://www.soundrangers.com/ Soundrangers.com] , allowing interactive developers a resource for quickly finding and implementing audio content into their projects using content pre-rendered to the specifications of interactive development.

As one of the earliest companies delivering sound files over the internet, Soundrangers pioneered several features common today in the online delivery of audio content including the individual auditioning of sound files through its Adobe Flash interface and the automated delivery of content via download with selectable file format, sample and bit rate. All Soundrangers content is built and offered exclusively through the Soundrangers website creating a clear licensing path for the end user and ensuring the continuity of quality across the entire library.
