The Freesound Project
By L ( Elizabeth ) Lawes, on 29 January 2008
The Freesound Project aims to create a huge collaborative database of audio snippets, samples, recordings, bleeps, all released under the Creative Commons Sampling Plus License. Users can browse the sounds using keywords, up and download sounds to and from the database, under the same creative commons license, and interact with fellow sound-artists.
Under the terms of the Creative Commons license users are free ‘to sample, mash-up, or otherwise creatively transform this work for commercial or noncommercial purposes’ as long as the work is correctly attributed.
