what samples are most searched for?

Footsteps and Vintage Radio Noise are my most downloaded files so far.

well this says what the most popular tags are:

I still can't believe 120 bpm is among the most popular. ( I know that doesn't mean people are actually searching for 120 bpm)

My guess is drums or beats is the most popular. Synth another possibility.
Usually I search for specific instruments myself.

Does that mean the most assigned tags or the most searched for tags?

Haha that's weird indeed. I mean it isn't like the Amen Break is used in its original tempo

Yes, this isn't the searches.

I have a table of searches, but it's not public.

But ofcourse, I should make more sex samples.

Thanks for the list Bram.

What is the reason for not making that public? Would it undermine creativity? Use up too much bandwith? Or is it just not implemented yet?

not implemented yet

it seems that everybody want what everybody hate when recording: wind!

wow. surprising wind is that far up there.
