Hey there.
I'm really glad this feature is here!
It's nice to explore the categories / subcategories, and see how many sounds each have.
47% are sound effects, 19% are Music, 16% instrument samples, 11% soundscapes, 5% speech. I'm surprised that speech is that low. (Perhaps we could aim a few Dares towards that?)

A inconvenience I encounter with this new system, is the few extra steps it takes when uploading large quantities of sounds. It would be great, like for packs, if we could include a batch step when describing, to include all sound in the same category. Like the Licensing and Pack steps.
Being free to fine-tune the category at the usual description step if there's a few odd ones out.

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion!
This is indeed a good idea. We also have plans to add some UI elements in the description form to allow to copy one field to all other sounds in the current description batch (e.g., "copy tags to all other sounds"), so this might help as well. Would you like to open an issue in Github with your suggestion?

Thanks!!

Those are some great plans! Looking forward to it! grin
I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with Github. Id prefer avoiding it ^^'

Thanks!
