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!

Hi everyone!

I'd like to invite you to take part in a little survey.
Actually there is 3 of them, one for sound designers / editors and foley/adr recordists,
one for re-recording mixers and one for film projectionists. It's pretty much about
monitoring/playback levels and some background information. For example the film
projectionists are asked about their average playback levels and common procedures to
adjust them.

I'd be very glad if you could take part, it's not a big deal, mayby a 5min job at the max and
absolutely anonymous. However the condition to take part is that you are a
professional in one of those fields. The survey only focuses on movie postproduction / screening
It's not for game audio or music produciton. Thank you.

the links are:
for sound designers/editors, recordists:

for re-recording mixers:

I dont know it there are a lot of mixers in this forum so if anyone can suggest a good place
to send the link to, that would be highly appreciated.

regarding the film projectionists I tried to find a forum but the highest number of
members I found was 20, the last message from 2005. I also tried the IATSE page but
again if anyone has a better idea, that would be great.

thanks in advance

Filled it in. Hard to answer

Filled it in. Hard to answer some questions, as it was more or less targeted towards professionals. :) My home "setup" is simply a mobile Edirol R4 Field Recorder, a closet-sized room to record audio within (including inevitable bass resonance and outside traffic noises), plus a Mac with Logic Pro 7, a Midi keyboard, Kontakt 2 and diverse audio editing software.

Although I might not be the perfect audience for a survey like this, it was fun filling it in anyway.
