1) What do you use Freesound for? (what are your specific interests? what do you do with Freesound samples? ...)

Downloading and uploading sounds for making music.

2) Do you perceive some shared goals in Freesounds user community? If so, which ones? (is there a sense of community? and of long-term goals to be achieved? ...)

A goal of freely presenting the world with a collection of sounds for use in various projects.

3) What kinds of sounds are you most interested in? (do you upload and/or download specific types of sounds? which ones? ...)

I like a broad range of sounds, I've donwloaded nature ambience and drum sample packs. I upload a similar range of sounds.

4) What makes Freesound different from other sound sharing sites? (you can compare with sites like Soundcloud, Looperman, CCMixter or others)

Its all about the samples, soundcloud covers alot of music as well as various sounds... but its hard to sift through. Freesound is where I come when I need a sound, and it inspired me to get a portable recorder and share back to the community.

1) What do you use Freesound for? (what are your specific interests? what do you do with Freesound samples? ...)

I use Freesound samples for researching sounds (sound analysis and synthesis, spatial audio) and for music and video production (non-commercial).

2) Do you perceive some shared goals in Freesounds user community? If so, which ones? (is there a sense of community? and of long-term goals to be achieved? ...)

I think that, as in all communities, there are some members that are more "shy" (take me as an example) than others that are more "visible". There is a sense of community, but many people will pass by Freesound only looking for the samples they need. It's Ok, however. I don't think that a community will be made of rules and impositions - the will is the power that moves the world.

3) What kinds of sounds are you most interested in? (do you upload and/or download specific types of sounds? which ones? ...)

I'm very interested on sounds for film and music production. Voice and musical instruments recordings are also useful, once I'm interested on atomic decomposition, granular synthesis and musical information retrieval from atomic models of sound.

Freesound is pretty well organized and the quality of the samples is better than those available at most free sounds sites. CC licenses are very flexible and encouraging. Maybe the most important thing about Freesound is that there is a lot of cool people in the community.

I will use the exact same answer as fellow user (and deceased author) Pushkin as his words cover me 100%.

I use Freesound for film sound effects.

There seem to be a lot of Freesound folks who do Foley and sound effects specifically for picture. I don't really use Freesound as a "community" but I love that I can contribute sounds.

We upload custom Foley cues. And we download Foley cues. Monsters, computers, footsteps...

Freesound specializes in sound effects, or at least that's the way I use it. I find that the effects on Freesound are the first "library" I go to when looking for a cut effect.

Like some bloody police interrogation. Where are the good and the bad cop?
The simple answer, for all that questions , lays down in its core. IT IS FREESOUND. No some strict policy about how your sound should look like. As long as it is legal. SO, long live the freedom and FreeSoundOrg.

Can someone check out my user, it`s awesome
