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!

I been using and uploading sounds with SoundSnap for a couple months now, and absolutely love the site. I really wanted to thank everybody for the variety and quality of the sounds found here...best stuff available anywhere at any price.

Here's my big question though: What I have been uploading are essentially short completed songs (soundtrack stuff), and while some are designed in a loop fashion they aren't really "loops". My question is does this go against the the real idea of this site? They have been downloaded a lot, and seem to be getting fairly decent reviews, but I'm not sure I'm within the guidelines for appropriate uploads.

Thanks,

Bill

Hi Bill, Thanks for sharing

Hi Bill,

Thanks for sharing some great sounds.

You have a good point saying that your recordings are a borderline case. In fact, we don't really allow long musical pieces, but only phrases and loops. However, most of your sounds are almost like atmospheres and not just musical. Because drawing the line is not always easy, we generally tend to allow sounds like this, if they are good.

I think that the many downloads they are getting simply show that users agree with this too..!

C u around

Thanks for the reply, and I

Thanks for the reply, and I will try to keep my uploads in that range where they are more of a 'mood' than a complete composition.
