Hello world!
I've been lurking here for a few years now and finally decided to introduce myself.
I am 21 years old from Norway and have been meddling in sound tech and electronic music production for five or six years. I really enjoy working with samples, and that is how I found Freesound in the first place. I love working with noise music and lo-fi field recordings. I've also been working a bit with tape loops etc.
My current projects:
Sound design for YEARN, a game by TripleRam Games (this is my job)
Finishing my debut album. (a IDM and noise inspired project)
Hardware I use:
-Various homemade contact mics
-various walkmen
-A Sanyo(?) dual cassette player/recorder/dubber (sorry cant remember model right now)
-Tandberg 15-21 Reel to Reel
-Korg MS20
-Focusrite Scarlet 2i2
-Self built computer from 2014
-Macbook Pro early 2011 (I think)
AND! I bought a new MacBook Pro today!! #hype
next investment will probably be an RME Babyface (the newes one) or an UAD
Software I use:
-Ableton Live Suite (DAW of choice)
-C74 Max MSP
-FMOD Studio
-iZotope RX
-Audacity
-various other stuff
Some plug-ins I use:

Hello l4ff3n
Thanks for introducing yourself and providing a very detailed view of your gear and musical style.
The dares have not been very active lately, but just happens I recently posted a new dare.
http://freesound.org/forum/dare-the-community/38261/
Maybe you would like to have a go?
I had a quick listen on Soundcloud and you seem to have an interest in old tapes. This dare could be a good match.
(deep breath)...ok here I go. My name is Eric. I am a man and I was drugged and gang raped, and as difficult as this is to post this so publicly, I am doing so because I can't get justice for what happened to me, because the only proof I have is on a 2.5 hr clip of a video I made on my laptop webcam. This video is how I learned of my attack, and I took it to police as soon as I became aware of what I was hearing in the background. My story is so unbelievable, that I was never taken seriously, and despite my efforts to sound the alarm and turn the light on the truth, nobody will help me, and unfortunately unless I can take them a clear sample of audio which clearly proves to them what happened to me, this fantastic example of injustice will remain unchallenged. I have posted a small clip which I have recorded using a compressor on wavepad, but there is some sort of voice distorter being used which makes it very hard to make out. I think it is called an "echo". Anyone who takes this challenge and decides to help me will obviously need to contact me privately and more information can be discussed at that time. The clip provided is to prove to anyone willing to help me that something significant has been overlooked here and that the police have made a huge error in judgement in this case.
Thank you all for your time and consideration.
I am not sure what it is that your asking.
Do you want someone to "undo" soundeffects (echo) on a audio sample?
Can you post a small piece to let us know how the effect sounds?
Perhaps you find a sample that lets us here the effect without being to personal for you.

sorry for any confusion. What I am asking is for, and what I need is to have all the foreground noise ( audible conversation, dog barking, stereo music, etc...) removed so that the whispered conversations that are taking place can at least be heard. I don't need anything undone, I just need all the other noise removed or the dialogue in the background isolated and so that it can be heard. I did post a short clip, but I will post another now.
I should also say that at the time I recorded this video, there were only 3 people, including myself, that I was aware of were in my home, and I at the very least need to be able to prove that there are other people in my home, but the goal is to get a clear enough piece of this audio where the people who assaulted me are talking about what was taking place. I am going to post a clip where I believe that is taking place. Thank you again.
The posting will be under my profile, hopefully I do it right.
Sure! Ill give this a go!
Background:
I'm an 18 year old guy from England, I am currently a studying Games Development B-Tec Level 3 at a Sixth Form College. My main aim is to produce AAA title games! I guess you can say I set my goals extremely high, but as I was taught: "Aim high and you miss the moon, you still land on a star" Or something like that... I've been wondering around this sight like a lose sheep for some time and occasionally post some music I make. I started using programs such as FL Studio to make basic loops for my games and everything took off there I guess...
Projects:
Currently none, but do message me in the future if anyone gets curious as to what i'm up to!
System Specs:
A gaming PC!!
(Tech-heads
Processor- Intel i5 4670k overclocked @4Ghz
RAM- 16GB DDR3 @1600Mhz
Graphics Card- Nvidia GTX 970 4GB
etc etc...
Software:
I guess FLStudio but I will probably move on to other programs in future!
Audacity for recording my finshed projects and editing.
Hello everyone,
I'm a self-taught hand drummer (djembe, cajon, darabuka, congas, bongos and so the list unfolds...) with a particular love for all the shakers, tambourines and other sound making oddities. Playing in several bands I try to use them to add some flavour to my drumming.
Here you can see a video of my band if you like. The name is impossible to spell but I hope you'd like the music: This one is an old Polish folk song in our grunge-folk style by the Żmij band and here you can see how do we look with a chamber orchestra
I work in a sample creating company, called Lucidsamples (sorry for unintended advertising), but I love to bind all my life with music
For the gear and computer, it is nothing special, but very handy
an ordinary laptop
Zoom H1 recorder (which is not so ordinary)
Presonus Studio One for longer works and Audacity for cutting the material from rehearsals
and G-Stomper studio for mobile music creations on Android smartphone during long travels
It is nice to meet you all!
Well howdy!
My first sound is available now *Cough* so may as well say hi!
I'm CaptainDrewBoy (or 'Cap', 'Drew' or whatever you wanna call me).
I'm here to help people by uploading cool sounds, whilst finding good ones for my own projects.
I'm a dab hand at programming, and my favourite music tool is Sonic Pi.
Hello, to cut a long summary short: My name is Andre, or Mister Pietroschek, if you prefer it more formal, and I am a 47 years old German author & online content creator. Sometimes editor and publisher.
I literally returned from the urban homeless some years ago, and German bureaucracy will gladly ensure that I, like anyone else, am knocked between unemployment and short-time, low-pay jobs. Right now I live in a city-quarter, where most "unwanted persons" have to restart their lives, so I am very busy evading the less recovered variants of psychos, muggers, drug-wrecks, and barely legal hoodlums. Oh, and yeah, could also mean I have a criminal streak in my own personality.
Only reason to mention this:
My "equipment", so far, was an aging Chromebook R13, with whatever #freeware & #APPS I could find.
I am NOT doing music, at least not beyond fixing my own files for meditation. I do #storytelling & experimental #audiodrama, as a hobby and for sale.
My profile gives some LINKS, but I can add a #freebie site:
https://www.spreaker.com/show/amateurish-audiostories-selfmade
When I create a story, then I write it, turn it audio, filter it, add equalizer, and (where legal) I also do the adding of background music,or sound effects, manually.
That is the little progress I made. Could be I must teach myself basic movie animation, but I am neither motivated, nor blind to my sales stuck close to zero, too.
Goodbye.
Hey freesounders!
My name is Daniel, 26 years old, Brazil.
I always had contact with music because of my dad, he had a big collection of classic rock records. He also played a lot of songs on the guitar for me when I was a kid. I started playing the guitar at the age of 15. When I was 16, I got an electric guitar from my father as a birthday present.
Today I'm a graphic designer and illustrator, I have a certain talent in music, but I only see music as a hobby. I visited the freesound website because I needed free and uncopyrighted sounds to finish an academic work and I was surprised by the amazing quality of the sounds I found here. After I finished the academic work (10 months ago), I decided to learn more about digital sounds and instruments.
Now I'm part of the Freesound community and I'm happy to share some of the sounds I've made.
Hardware
- CSR GM22 mic
- Zoom G2
- Cheap headset
Software
- Audacity
- FL Studio 12
- Guitar Rig 5
- LabChirp 1.60
PC Spec
- Windows 7, 8GB RAM, 2GB VRAM, 500GB HD
Instruments
- Les Paul electric guitar
- Kauthon steel chords guitar
Yeah, in short, that's it!
Good evening! My name is Lauri. I'm living in Sastamala, small city in western Finland.
I've produced radio shows to several stations in Finland. Some of the stations have been suspended by now, but new stations have been started after that. So, now I produce weekly show in Tampere-based station called Pispalan Radio. As a side effect to my radio projects I've been collecting many kinds of sound effects. Yle, Finnish Broadcast Company, is one of my biggest influencer what comes to recording sound effects. They have very big collection of sounds.
My radio programs is focused to give airtime for new music. New music is not the #1 hits, it's absolutely new music. Music that you have not heard before. Not because it's bad, but because it's mostly released by tiny labels and in many cases the artists aren't on any label. I haven't play any mainstream hits at my show. It's not oriented to one or two genres, I play music from all genres that I get.
Some of my equipment.
Field recorders: Olympus LS 14 and Zoom H1n.
Bunch of different mics. Computer is Mac Mini, I'm using Garageband and Audacity.
Hey Freesound Composers.
I'm sorry to see that this thread became dead 3 years ago.
I guess, I'm just here because I'm feeling a little bored waiting for a download of an incredible track - the Monteray Bay recent recordings of whale song.
Anyway.
I'm 39, white, male and queer. I like to work stoned a lot these days. I was classically trained in composition and I came from a very privileged position, but since going through a heavy injury and recovery period I've learned that my approach to living is that of liminal composition.
that is, every thing is composition because none of it can be
considered
and that in of itself turns it into some kind of music if you're open to it.
So a bit of that is in transcontextual thinking... one where the learning between people is not limited to cultural boundaries. I guess what I'm calling for is mentoring and teaching across methods, approaches, languages, people.
What impressed me the most about you all is how you came over years to this space. I think I'm here for a similar reason.... I'm just looking for someone who gets it.
My equipment:
Cello, keyboards, mics, AI, computer... PA system, costume, body, voice, movement, clothes, extra-musical concepts, video skills, business sense, a bit of makeup and a pair of heels. And my partner is an excellent choreographer, and I have 5 old cameras donated to our charity (we're povvo artists in Australia lol, but we get by, and run a charity giving kids with intellectual disability the opportunity to create a big contemporary performance work... some of those kids can really compose.
In a collaborator, I'd look for someone who's into challenge, psychology, nature, responsibility and is financially savvy, visionary, experience running a business, a bit of legal knowledge, a philosophical nature, and a generosity of heart. We'd ideally collaborate remotely, and professionally, and be a very safe space of play as we live our tumultuous lives in abstraction or pedestrianism; however public.
And may we always communicate poetically.
