What is Soundsnap?

Soundsnap is the best platform to find and share free sound effects and loops- legally. 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.

It was originally started by a small group of sound people from all over the world. Our common belief is that sounds and samples should be free for everyone to use in their projects, commercial or not.

Our 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.

What Soundsnap is NOT:

  • 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.

We encourage everyone to upload high quality sound FX and samples, helping us make every kind of sound available on Soundsnap.

We are looking for feedback from the community to constantly improve, and we depend on our users for that. So please feel free to leave a recommendation or feedback in the special section of our forum.

I hope you enjoy your time here and Happy Snapping!

How's that Marantz PMD660

How's that Marantz PMD660 field recorder getting on? I'm going to start field recording this summer and was looking for a solution. I'm considering an Apogee Ensemble, Macbook Pro, and a motorcycle battery for a power source. Anyone have any suggestions? The portable field recorders don't seem to offer up enough storage.

Its been really good, the

Its been really good, the only drawback is theres no 24-bit - not too great for noise floor issues when recording loud sounds etc.
The pre-amps are good providing you get the newer, revised model.....

I've heard about the Sony PCM D1 Field Recorder too which looks pretty good, but pricey.
