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!

how much can one do to a lackluster recorded sound with a shoddy mp3 player.
because I am masterminding a project involving someones webcomic I am interested in sounds now.
but I don't know how long it will last.

so I have minimal equipments until I can find people who have said equptment to go and borrow for some time ("can I come over and play?")

how much "magic" can this thing work?

It all depends on the

It all depends on the specific sound in question. If it's got background hiss, you can usually filter that quite easily providing the signal you want to keep isn't at the same spectrum freq as the hiss.
If it's badly recorded (in terms of signal quality) you can't do much i'm afraid.
Are there no sounds on here you can use until you find yourself a sound guy? I'm sure some people on here would be willing to record a sound or two for you if there's anything specific.

Well, i think your best bet

Well, i think your best bet would be to aim for getting a decent recording rather than 'try to polish a turd' as they say :)

I've played on a few mini-disc recorders before and they've given me a nice quality sound for what they were.

As i put above - if it's only hiss/hum you've got, chances are it can be removed. It's just much much much easier to record without having to import and spend 5-10 minutes editing to make it sound 'normal'.
