As you might know, we are moving into a paid membership model pretty soon.
This has led us to temporarily stop uploads, since certain important changes are needed:
1) We want to make sure that users get rewarded for their uploads. However, at the moment we are still developing a plan to share our revenue, which will be enabled after we move to a subscription based model. Until we develop a solid plan, we don't want to increase user uploads since contributors don't yet know how they will be compensated for their work.
2) We want to develop better guidelines for uploads, so that there are clearer standards for the sound submission process. This will preserve the quality of the library, while uploaders will face less disappointment by having sounds rejected.
Meanwhile, a small team of our own, 'in-house' contributors, such as Shriek, SFX Bible and a few others, will be allowed to exclusively upload materials. However, the rest of our lovely community will have to wait until November or December, when we have our revenue sharing plan up and running.
All the above are important steps for Soundsnap that will protect users while we remain dedicated to a vision of high quality sounds for the masses.
Thank you for your understanding
