    Hi all,

    I'm preparing my first SFX package for the Asset Store. Questions:

    1. Is watermarking OK, to protect my IP, or is that not fair to anyone who buys it?

    2. What would be a fair number of SFX to include, so people don't feel "ripped off" if they're paying $5?

    3. Any preference as to bitrate etc. on the stereo files?

    4. And, finally, if these are loopable, do you care about the time length of an ambient sound?

    Thank you for your time!

    1. What method of watermarking ? It must be completely silent.
    2. They will fell ripped off when there is a lot of sounds but vast amount is just the same sounds with filters put on.

    4. Yes we don't want long ambient sounds. It is better to add ambient loop and ambient elements so we can create our own variability by randomizing placement of short sounds by code.

    My 5 cents...

    Fantastic, thank you, koirat! I don't actually do "same with filters" so that's a great tip.

    And I'd better get working because I had longer ambience; think I'd better cut them into smaller stuff to loop.
