The Hollywood Edge

The Hollywood Edge (also simply referred to as Hollywood Edge) was a U.S.-based company that produced stock sound effect libraries from the early 1990s to the early 2010s. It was one of the most popular stock audio companies, alongside Sound Ideas. Its' parent company was Todd-AO/Soundelux and was headquartered in Hollywood, California, United States (in Europe, it was headquartered in Paris, France). They went out of business in 2014 due to bankruptcy and Sound Ideas acquired the rights to most of its products, and Sound Ideas has been the distributor of them as of late 2014. However, they're only available for digital download on the Sound Ideas website and the original CD and DVD versions are no longer in print since this company went out of business, but sometimes they can still be found on Amazon and eBay for various prices. Hot Ideas Inc. also distributes some of the former libraries online
