I was watching some kid from Germany go into how he creates the sound track for his youtube videos. And quickly realized I underestimated the effort it takes to make youtube video. What seemed like a simple video, had a 15 layer sound track. Some people spend more time on editing the sounds than the video. Here he explains how he does it if anyone is interested. https://youtu.be/CpE8Xdv9GF0

Yeah but what's scary is Youtube's automatic copyright strikes. I was watching this video where a guy created a soundtrack using samples from a site like freesound (the whole video was actually about making your own Youtube tracks) and as soon the video uploaded.. boom 5 minutes later he gets a copyright strike. He said in the video it happens a lot when you use freely available samples since the algorithm often conf…

Part of the reason (perhaps the whole reason) for that is that there's a cohort of people who upload commercial sounds to freesound for some reason. Extremely annoying.

We've come a long way since sounds.sdsu.edu, both in terms of the volume of sound files publicly on the internet and in terms of the legal protection of users against copyright.

Still, there was something magical about downloading that first copy of Tori Amos's Crucify as a 64-kbps .au file, that seems to be missing from today's internet...

I'm a researcher at the Music Technology group who works on freesound ( https://www.upf.edu/web/mtg ) We also maintain Freesound labs, which lists a lot of projects and research made using content from freesound: https://labs.freesound.org/ FSD50k is our hand-curated dataset of sounds designed for research in sound and event recognition tasks https://zenodo.org/record/4060432#.X3xrgi8RqL4 , http://dcase.community/cha…

this is great thanks. I might finally be able to find the new sound I've been searching for so long: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQLlR4pvhyg

I'm sure it's not what you had in mind when it comes to use cases for Freesound, but it's what made this VSCode extension possible: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=VincentT...

So thanks... I guess :)

Is there anything similar for entire songs?

Thanks, jamendo seems not be free of charge though.

Fun story, I uploaded some recordings of the family dog playing a very rough-sounding game of tug-of-war with me. I got a bunch of great growls and snarls from it, and they are uploaded to Freesound.

She's since passed, I think those are my only audio recordings of her.
