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'd really like to know how you force the MP3 files to download instead of playing in the browser.

‹ Managing a very large sample collection I have a question concerning Logic and Laptops. ›

Hi Tomroth and Welcome! Did

Hi Tomroth and Welcome!

Did you actually click on the mp3 icon? You can download it the same way you download the aifs and wavs.

Does that help?

Yes, I did click on them. The file downloaded just fine. I'm just wondering how that's done. Everytime I make a link to an MP3 file when I click on the link the MP3 begins to play. I'd like to find a way to make it download like they've done here. That's really cool!

I 'll have to ask our coder about that. But it shouldn't be something complex!

Do you make web pages?

Yes, I do make web pages and was trying to find a way to force a file to download when the link is clicked on instead of having to say, "Right-mouse click and then select 'Save Target As..'" which works but is not as slick as a simple click like you guys have got here with your audio clips.
