You have a very good point here.

I myself, always require a professional credit for works in which I use other people's sounds.

I have tediously contacted users to obtain their real name, its fortunate that I don't often use other user's sounds. otherwise I would be pulling my hair out trying to get a reply from unresponsive users who don't check their mail!

Hi guys!

Okay so I'm writing a software program that simulates growing marijuana and I need some sounds to include in the project. If you have something or know of a file that would be good I would greatly greatly appreciate your help.

Here's what I need.

1. Water pouring into dirt.
(The sound of water trickling)

2. Water pouring into water.
(The sound of water trickling/splashing)

3. Dirt pouring into a ceramic pot.
(The sound of water trickling/splashing)

4. Dirt pouring into dirt.
(The rustling, dumping sound of dirt/potting soil falling)

5. Nutrient (pebbles) pouring into dirt.
(The rustling, scattering pebble sound of nutrient pellets falling)

6. Marijuana being moved from one container to another.
(The rustling sound of dried marijuana leaves falling)

I've been searching this awesome website for days and days but I can't seem to find anything, or maybe it's not being able to see the forest through all the trees.

With my sincere thanks!
Rob

Hi can someone make a clip saying “Your’re rockin' with a Model Citizen Sound”. I want it to sound like how the DJs say it. it can be male or female. Thanks for the help in advance.

I'm glad to see that you went through the effort.

Your attribution might be insufficient in the case of CC-BY 3.0 licensed works. See 4(b) for attribution requirements. They include name, title, URL... http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode

As far as I'm informed, Timbre and djgriffin (and possibly others) use CC-BY-NC 3.0 only. If CC-BY-NC 3.0 content is used to create commercial content, it is an infringement of the license (unless another agreement has been established between the parties).

I put out the album

http://djsaint-hubert.bandcamp.com/

I was able to look in the wavetable for each song and figured out who to credit

Hi i was wondering if any body had the time could they do one in a sexy femal voice for me saying "this is Dj Inked "

There are quite a few free vocoders, take a look here for instance:

http://www.kvraudio.com/q.php?search=1&q;=vocoder&os;[]=win32&ty;[]=e&f1;[]=vst&cp;[]=1≺[]=f&av;[]=re&sh;[]=s

not all of those 22 search results are vocoders but it's a good start.

Every DAW worth its name will recognize external controllers, even the free ones like Ardour, QTractor and LMMS; sometimes it's single plugins (especially some old free ones, and most often on the synth side rather than effects) to lack the ability of external control via MIDI, but the majority are well behaved

Ahh OK, a vocoder is what I'll need then, great! Sorry is this is a daft question, but is a vocoder free? Also, which software goes best with MIDI controllers? I have a fairly up to date PC so can run most softwares, would be good to get a MIDI controller with a cheap piece of software and get going on making these daft punk sounds! Any idea where to get a really cheap MIDI with software?

I made that video public from my phone today and when I copied and pasted his freesound profile it didn't copy the http:// for some reason. I'll change it right now.

It might have been changed since juskiddink complained.

It currently looks like this:

DOWNLOAD LINK!
http://bit.ly/V02PjA

Attribution:
www.freesound.org/people/juskiddink/
Licence Terms: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...

The source link is obfuscated. The attribution misses the original file name and author name. The website link is not clickable, which would be not an effort to enable (by adding http :// before it). There is no attribution in the video itself.

All this can be interpreted as either a honest mistake or intentional avoidance of letting viewers learn about the source. In either case, it infringes upon the license.

http://www.youtube.com/yt/copyright/copyright-complaint.html seems to be the most efficient way to get channels to comply.

justkiddink, The link you provided to the SEF video of your sound on YouTube does provide attribution via URL to your home page (albeit not to the individual sound), and it says CC BY 3 is the license, which matches the freesound page.

I wish that more people would put their real names in their freesound profile.

Or that freesound account registration would have a field like "Name you wish to use for attribution."

It feels wrong to thank somebody by a handle like "Jaava73". Like I've made the dude into a cartoon character.

And if you've got audio credits, it just sounds so stupid. I've got a podcast with credits at the end, and I just point people to the website for attribution list, because I'm not going to say "Thank you very much SageTyrtle for your excellent scrabble board samples." Listeners would think I was making cute in-jokes. But I would like to just say people's names.

There is also the issue of anonymity when you are entering into a legal agreement with someone. IANALawyer but I'm pretty sure that a contract where one of the parties is identified "mxsmanic from freesound.org" holds up in court, particularly if freesound doesn't have real identities on file. The sound authors have much more protection here than the people that use the sounds, since in a dispute, they can simply claim they had nothing to do with uploading a sound and making it available for license. These things make me particularly nervous when I consider using a sample for a commercial work, where perhaps someone unethical or confused decides that I owe them something despite commercial use being licensable according to their selections.

I imagine this has been talked about before, but I did a search and didn't find much. Feel free to point me at some existing thread if I'm just repeating past thoughts.

Here is one that should work.

Hi King Bram!

Perhaps you might help explain you comment in light of the message I received in April from someone who I had been dealing with in April called FunSoundsTube on YouTube.

He contacted me after receiving a copyright strike on YouTube from a brand new account:

When I tried to obtain information on his account (being under the impression that your statement is correct). Obviously I checked his downloads which was ZERO. I asked him to provide his real Freesound Account and he said this FSTube was his only account.

I now know who the real person is, because of an escalated YouTube process initiated by him
However, according to him who I will only identify by Freesound User Name; the thousands of audio files FSTube is monetizing as raw original sounds from FreeSound. He does not use an account, nor does he use the download button.

In a different message he indicated using an api query to locate sounds on Freesound.org, and another process suggested below to bulk download.

He messaged me the following

Dear RGAP Creative,

No Freesound account was used to download your files. The audio previews can be downloaded from Freesound without using an account. This is how I downloaded the files. I am not aware of any location other than Freesound that distributes your sounds.

You can check the HTML source of any sound page to confirm this. The terms of Freesound do not restrict downloading previews.

To ensure that you are talking to the responsible person, please contact FunSoundTube on YouTube:

Keeping things in perspective??
...while showing endless goodwill??

Seriously guys,you amaze me....just what will it take before you suss this guys' gameplan out?

Earlier in this thread my military exercise file...http://www.freesound.org/people/juskiddink/sounds/64647/.... was mentioned in several posts,(Timbre posted a photo of the waveform etc,etc)..it was the basis for my copyright infringement notice to youtube....SEF was obviously made fully aware of this...

....now it is back with no attribution and changed to a creative commons 0 license.

Hi!

I'm looking for a sample of a woman voice saying "Hello?" on the phone. I would be even more happy if you could hear that she is scared. I need it for a silent call in a movie trailer which is a thriller/horror. Thanks in advance.

Matt

Sure, getting credit is nice.
Getting 'thank you' is probably even nicer.

Many people will completely skip licenses, etc. Which is generally ok if you are downloading something for private use.

If you think your work is good enough to charge people for (e.g. Commercial music) then you must be sure to understand and comply with the licenses for sounds you use. You can be sued otherwise.

If you are simply copying contents and posting elswhere for profit (direct charge, donations or via site advertising) - which is the case with SEF - then you must be really carefull that you obey license terms and that you do not missrepresent any contents as being made by yourself.
If he does that, even if we don't like what he is doing, it is legal and he should be left in peace.
