Soundsnap is a great platform where you can find and share free sound effects and loops. So you might ask where do these sounds effects and loops come from, well It is a collection of original sounds made or recorded by its users, and not songs or sound FX found on commercial libraries or sample CD’s. This is exactly what makes it legal.
It was originally started by a small group of so called “sound people” from all over the world. Their belief is that sounds and samples should be free for everyone to use in their projects, commercial or not!
Their users are a diverse mix of sound designers, sound artists, web game developers, filmmakers and music producers. Hobbyists and home video makers are welcome too. They encourage everyone to upload high quality sound FX and samples, helping them make every kind of sound available on Soundsnap. I like the domain name as it seems pretty relevant and interesting but very hard to find in near future.
Some of things that Soundsnap shouldn’t be used for are:
- An alternative to Myspace, Limewire or BitTorrent.
- A place to upload your band’s songs or your favourite mp3’s. Soundsnap is only for sound effects and loops.
- A place you can upload or find sounds from commercial libraries. All sounds here are original- made or recorded by its users.
I love to promote this company as it is free to use and as i am a lover of open-source. Hope to see this company grow huge on the net.
Please share your thoughts and opinions on this great music sharing website.
