is an online repository of searchable sound files licensed under
|
|
|
|
|
Creative-Commons term. The <kbd class="menu">Search Freesound</kbd> tab
|
|
|
|
|
of the import dialog allows you to search the Freesound database,
|
|
|
|
|
and to download and audition files directly.</p>

<dt>Tags</dt>
|
|
|
|
|
<dd>Enter metadata tags that you would like to search for. You may enter
|
|
|
|
|
multiple search terms separated by spaces. For example,
|
|
|
|
|
<kbd class="input">drums 120bpm</kbd> will search for files that are tagged
|
|
|
|
|
<samp>drums</samp>, <samp>120bpm</samp>, or both.</dd>
|
|
|
|
|
<dt>Sort</dt>
|
|
|
|
|
<dd>Choosing one of the sort options will cause Freesound to return the list
|
|
|
|
|
of available files sorted accordingly. This can save time if you know (for
|
|
|
|
|
example) the sound you need is very short.</dd>
|
|
|
|
|
<dt>Search</dt>
|
|
|
|
|
<dd>Click this button to initiate the search. Freesound will begin returning
|
|
|
|
|
pages of information, with 20 items per page. The <kbd
|
|
|
|
|
class="menu">Stop</kbd> button interrupts the download.</dd>
|
|
|
|
|
<dt>The file list</dt>
|
|
|
|
|
<dd>Click on a file to download it from Freesound. Double-click the file to
|
|
|
|
|
auto-play it in the auditioner.</dd>
|
|
|
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Files imported with Freesound will automatically include any tags that are
|
|
|
|
|
associated with the file, and these tags will be included in a search when
|
|
|
|
|
you use the <kbd class="menu">Search Tags</kbd> tab.
