So… After raiding 76 locations, they only got 32 phones? Like… they only found one phone in every two places that they raided? And they only got 48 laptops? Those are the kind of numbers that I would expect for one single location.
It kind of sounds like 75 of the locations were tipped off by corrupt local officials in advance.
I always hate it when somebody asks for help on a site like StackOverflow, and some smartass pipes up with “Why are you even trying that, why don’t you try ___ instead?”
I don’t want to be that guy. But I am very, very curious about why it is so imperative that you obtain the actual original audio files. Why would similar sounds not suffice?
For context, I am an audio editor / producer / sound designer / Foley artist, and I’ve run into that same problem, of old sound libraries not existing anymore, and have had to find, or create, my own alternatives. So I do know the struggle, but I don’t know your particular situation.
