I sampled the Eurorack module ‘Noise Plathora’ by Befaco and published 50 noises on freesound.org under a Creative Commons 0 licence.

I can only think of two practical use cases for using waveforms. The first use is to visually help edit audio files in an audio editor. Audacity uses waveforms to display audio files to users.

The second is on a web page to display an audio files. The Freesound website uses waveforms to display a collaborative collection of 640,816 free sounds to users.
#Wednesday – doing hands-on hardware/fabrication work all day, so I get to listen to the radio. :)
I find public radio, or even music-with-lyrics too distracting if I'm doing work tasks like reading, writing or coding. On such days I usually listen to jazz, café chatter sounds (thx to #FreeSound) or nothing.
@doctormo @DeltaWye would there be any way to connect to a live library the way #kdenlive connects to #freesound for example?

FYI: I've made compact (5.5 K each), well-cut samples out of these #Quindar tones and put them on Freesound.

As a Freesound moderator, I get to listen to a lot of weird, wonderful, and noisy sounds (and plenty of unremarkable ones). This on in particular is one I return to again and again if I ever need a little boost. Quite probably one of my favorite sounds ever and I hope some day I get to record something so emotional.

New #WeeklyBeats track!
"Chapter Four" sees me dipping my toes into #LoFi territory – and petroleum refining.
https://weeklybeats.com/scy/music/chapter-four
This is yet another standalone #Deluge track. It's being carried almost exclusively by #Freesound samples, but after browsing samples for half a day I have to say that sample selection is work, too.
It also made me appreciate commercial sample collections more, because the quality at Freesound is mostly … mediocre.

Just converted a 267 MiB #Freesound WAV file into a 65 MiB one by
• removing one of the channels (it's a mono recording, but a stereo file)
• downsampling from 44.1 to 32 kHz (it's an iPhone mic, there were no frequencies over 16.500 in the file, and I don't care about a tiny bit of spectrum; this is a field recording in a subway, not an orchestra)
• converting from 24 to 16 bits (again, remember, this is "CD quality")
This is now a quarter of the original file size, and it sounds identical!
Sigh. If people stopped uploading mono recordings as stereo files to #Freesound, you know … that would be great.
(Or 48 kHz files of stuff that has been recorded in the sixties and contains no frequency higher than 20 kHz.)
lol ok this might seem trivial to some of you, but I'm currently working on this week's #WeeklyBeats track, and looking for a soundscape to go in the background – and playing the sketch of the song through the same speakers, mixed with some #Freesound clips playing on my computer is _really_ helpful to imagine how the end result is going to sound like, and what fits and what doesn't.

Still, I think it would have been better if #Freesound.org would have never allowed non-libre sounds (like -NC) to begin with, but it's better than nothing.
I mean, #Wikimedia Commons has been proving for a very long time it's possible.
