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!

I think someone else brought this up too... But I think it would be a major help in scanning through lots o' samples quickly. As oppose to constantly reloading pages.

Just my 2cents.

You 're absolutely right

You 're absolutely right Superbien.

We 'll see how we can do that without overloading the page with data. Certain users don't have fast connections and they might prefer 'lighter' pages. So a good solution could be to have a setting for this.

But these kind of changes could take a few weeks as our programmer is a bit busy at the moment, and we will soon develop new functions. So please be patient, we are taking the feedback and will execute the most important things soon.

The better is to Don"T

The better is to Don"T change nothing...

Else to just get something like:
http://www.soundsnap.com/taxonomy/term/64?page=1
http://www.soundsnap.com/taxonomy/term/64?page=2
http://www.soundsnap.com/taxonomy/term/64?page=3

Just add/put the possibility to chose from where start
and count in the page so that can give something like:
http://www.soundsnap.com/taxonomy/term/64?start=1&count=25
http://www.soundsnap.com/taxonomy/term/64?start25&count=25
http://www.soundsnap.com/taxonomy/term/64?start=50&count=25
and add some link at end with "5 samples"~"10 sample"~"25 sample"
to be able to choose.

but the problem is if you do that make sure you put limit,
so some dummies will not able to show 10000 sample in one page
and make slow-down/crash the system :)
