New website for sharing free samples, sound effects and music loops
Athens, Greece (July 2, 2007) - Soundsnap is a new online platform for finding
and sharing free samples, sound effects and music loops. Designed as a resource
and community for musicians, sound designers, producers, film makers and web/video
game developers, Soundsnap provides user driven content for use in virtually any
kind of media production. Users can freely download and upload content to be legally
shared and used in any media project.
"We like to think of Soundsnap as 'YouTube for sounds" where users not only download
sounds for their own use, but submit their sounds and help the library grow organically,"
said Tasos Frantzolas, creator of Soundsnap.com. "Free, on-demand, and publicly
available audio clips and samples encourage experimentation and creation and makes
for better audio within any kind of project."
Soundsnap launches with 30,000 available free sounds ranging 'from high quality
music loops and music samples, sound effects such as animals, industrial, nature,
sports, and human, to sound design, sound art, comic, unreal, and science fiction.
Visitors can search for sounds by keyword searching or browsing by category, user/creator,
or tags, which are user generated keywords used to place sounds into categories.
Soundsnap allows only original samples and sounds that have been recorded or
created by contributors that have accepted Soundsnap's license agreement. This
ensures that previously copyrighted material is not downloaded, distributed, and
used illegally. Contributors to Soundsnap retain all ownership rights to submissions
while granting SoundSnap a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable
sublicense.
In many ways, Soundsnap is part of the 'web 2.0' generation of websites, which
is characterized by user submitted content, social networking and clean, user
friendly interface. Its creators have been inspired by YouTube, Flickr and Wikipedia
in order to create the same sharing environment and apply it to music creation
and sound design.
Soundsnap launches for the public on July 2, 2007. Visit http://www.soundsnap.com.
