On iTunes I downloaded a bunch of tracks called "Position Music" by James Dooley, which are just the kind of things you might hear in an adventrue movie.Most of my background sound is mixed for environment (drippy dungeons, windy tunnels, thunderstorms, etc.) and I have some effects ready to go with a press of a button (for things like dragon roars, giants stomping around, and so on).I mix my sounds with a program called Audacity; a great program with a great price as it is free and pretty easy to use once you get the hang of it.</blockquote>
