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.

My name is M.A.Link (aka Fim Fischer) from Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
A few days ago, I discovered this website, while I was searching for background music for a Machinima [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machinima ].

I already found something and got my first network contact. Thank you to m00nshine2004!
I thought to myself, maybe one of the musicians here is interested in performing on a stage inside a well known Virtual World? I already had about 20 Live Music Events on the virtual stage and I could support you with all informations you need.

If you are interested in more details, just contact me.

Sincerely,

Fim

Welcome Fim,

I 'm glad you find the site useful.

I was at the Messe a couple of weeks ago. I was lucky to know some local guys that showed me around to some cool clubs, sausage and sauerkraut. :-)

Did you go to the Messe this year?

Our 'Sauerkraut' in Frankfurt is very famous, even if a lot people don't like the sour taste :}

Which clubs did you visit?

I first went to 'Cocoon', the club of Sven Vath. Ableton had their Messe party there.

I went to 025 and also King Kamehameha that has some nice live Disco music and dj's too.

Great stuff!
