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!

hey guys and girlz(?),women , men...

This site is a few months old, right ...2-3 maybe...
it was recomended to me by a guy at Looperman...

I'm like 12 hours old or so , but i havent stumbled upon any low quality samples yet...all that i've seen so far are profiles and sounds of professionals and hobbyists probably , and i'm glad that i heard of this site...
But that doesn't mean i won't hear any crappy stuff in the future...but hey , maybe my stuff is crappy to someone :)
There's this guy in Feedback ,Requests forum , he asked of uploaders not to upload low quality stuff ...yeah i don't like that too...
but let them be ...kids and some grown ups :) want people to hear what they can do, just like me and you :)
But then again ,as far as i can see , for now ,this is a site with professional sounds...

And it may look from this post that i'm full of myself maybe ,and that i think i'm pro , but i'm not

Oh and , am i right when i say that some of the responsible for this site are writing a short description of a newly uploaded loop , if it hasn't got any ?
Like in my case ,i haven't put a description on some loops , but i see they have one :)

Tasos maybe ?:)

Hi Nenad, Welcome to the

Hi Nenad,

Welcome to the community and thanks for adding some cool beats. I was checking your myspace and its cool. I can definitely see those Wagon Christ influencescoming through, since I used to be a huge fan myself.

I have taken the liberty to add some descriptions. And no, I 'm not a robot, that automatically writes a description by reading your tags! :-)

I have also changed a few of your tags, in order to 'standardize' them.
For example, we use the tag 'drumloop', not 'drum loop'. That makes it easier for people to find what they re looking for.

I hope thats all OK with you.

C u online soon!

T

"drumloop" - kool , i'll

"drumloop" - kool , i'll remember that and use it in the future...
i just thought that people write "drum loop" more often,
so by tagging the loops with that word ,my loops are gonna appear in front of them :)
but it's similar... drumloop-drum loop...every sample tagged as "drum loop" will appear under "drumloop" and the other way arround probably...
Aaaa! drum loop! i'm sick of that word now :)
sorry for being boring ...

Wagon Christ ...that dude don't visit his Wagon Christ page very often...
but hey , he has only 200 and some more "friends" :(
as i recall , so why should he...
but maybe not adding any music to his profile is the reason, and people don't think it is really him...
