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!

This is a possibility. I am

This is a possibility.

I am thinking of either making a new category just for music or only allowing short loops from now on and reject long musical pieces...
I am not sure what will be more beneficial.

On one hand, I don't want to make Soundsnap into an alternative to Myspace. This place was originally designed to get tools to use (samples, sfx)- not full tracks.

On the other hand, I don't want to discourage the activity I 've seen, which is that many people want to share longer pieces of music- occasionally over one or two minutes long.

I would like to hear your thoughts on this.

maybe if you posted an

maybe if you posted an "announcement" aksing users to chime in on a new category..(music tracks...or somthing) i don't know how many uploads (or downloads)soundsnap recives that are this type of file...to warrant a new category...i just want to make sure that i was entering the required info properly...radio producers would like to have "bedding music" that is long enough to need verry little editting...i feel "myspace" is all abought the indivisual...and soundsnap is abought the sound comunity...verry different!

Well it depends if the user

Well it depends if the user uploads the music in order to promote himself or if the musical piece is a useful piece for postproduction in the film/video/tv/gamedesigning - environment. I would not make any restrictions on that Tasos, that would be a shame.
Musical pieces/ambiences should not include lyrics and should not have been posted anywhere else imo.

Just contact me via the

Just contact me via the contact button on my Userpage - send me an email, I'll reply and you can send me the radio jingles. Half the time of my life I do a lot of film work for Cinema and TV including trailers, Logos, Recaps and so on. So I should be able to give you an objective opinion about your work :)
