All file types can be opened with the audio editor Audacity. If you want to save files as mp3 files in audacity you will need to follow this audacity faq. It is important to have a description of a sound, it can help you find specific sounds through the search for example. What use is our major sound library going to have if you are not able to find a specific sound when you need it. However, this is a problem that all sound libraries have.

So perhaps its best to have a look at how they solve this problem and then turn to our specific situation here at freesound and see if we can adapt their model to ours. In sampling, especially the big part of sampling that contains field recordings, there are several layers in which we can describe sounds. First of all, there is the macro description.

This describes the whole event of a sound. For example "this is a recording of a car crash". For somebody looking for a sound of a car crash this description is perfect. However, what if your looking for the sound of metal and glass breaking? This car crash could be very useful, but perhaps if you hadn't come up with that you might not have located this source.

So in order for this to work you need to break up the sample in smaller events. Our description: "Car Crash: breaking of glass, crushing metal on metal, burning rubber. This is the level in which you use the same kind of language usually found in modular synthesis.

The Envelope of a sound, the timbral aspects etc. Hard impact sounds, glass shards falling to the floor. Recorded with a SoundDevices recorder and stereo microphone rode NT4. The sound was post-processed to make the impacts more dramatic compression with waves C4. Our description now finally becomes: "Car Crash: breaking of glass, crushing metal on metal, burning rubber. Recorded on windy afternoon in Melbourne centre for our new movie The Car Crash. The car we destroyed was a Fiat Panda.

First of all, make sure you have flash installed. You can test this on this adobe page : if you have flash installed it will tell you what version, if not it will have a "get flash" button. It might not be completely apparent, but we use soundmanager2 for playing back sounds. Soundmanager2 uses both html5 and flash to play back sounds. If you already have flash installed, you might be running something like flashblock or noscript , both of which will break our players.

Make sure you whitelist freesound in these extensions. Last but not least if all of these fail, try another browser. We recommend alternate browsers like Google Chrome our personal favourite and Mozilla Firefox.

First off, we're not copyright lawyers, so these guidelines should not be seen as legal advice ;-. If you have any doubts about your sound being legal or not to post try asking in the legal questions forum , but don't forget we aren't lawyers. All the sounds on freesound are made by our users, Freesound itself does not create or record the sounds!

If that doesn't help you could try asking in the Sample Request Forum. Sounds uploaded to Freesound can be of any duration, but there is a file size upper limit of 1GB. Note that when uploading multiple files at once, the size limit is applied to the sum of all file sizes.

Therefore you can, for example, upload 4xMB files, but not 3xMB. When you listen to the sounds before downloading on the site , you're listening to mp3 or ogg previews of the sounds encoded in relatively low bit rates to save bandwidth. No dynamics compression is applied at all out of that that the mp3 or ogg encoder itself might add which should be minimal or none. When you download the sound you get the exact same original file that was uploaded, no transcoding nor any kind of editing at all, without the squeaking.

You can describe your uploaded audio files in batches of 10 sounds using the Freesound describe sounds page. However, if you have many sounds to describe this can become a tedious process. Luckily, if you have demonstrated being a faithful Freesound user and have already uploaded 40 sounds or more , when you go to the describe sounds page you'll see an extra option named Bulk description of files.

If you don't see that option and still need to describe files in bulk, please fill a request using our contact form. Using that option you can provide descriptions for several files at once by uploading a data file which contains all the necessary metadata information. Data files must be created following the instructions below.

Using this method you can describe hundreds of sounds at a time, this means you have to double check that all the metadata you provide is correct because you won't be able to modify the descriptions in bulk at a later time. We recommend that before uploading any large collection, you first try by batch describing a small number of test sounds and see if it all looks good.

After that you can do the rest :. Distributing, displaying, or linking to this deed or the license that it summarizes does not create a lawyer-client or any other relationship.
