Q: Where can I find [free] audio to embed in classroom presentations, such as PowerPoint?
A:
- Soundsnap (http://www.soundsnap.com/) is great for short, easily searchable clips. A quote from the website “Soundsnap is the best platform to find and share free sound effects and loops- legally. It is a collection of original sounds made or recorded by its users, and not songs or sound FX found on commercial libraries or sample CD’s.”
- Free Sound Project (http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/). A quote from the website “The Freesound Project is a collaborative database of Creative Commons licensed sounds. Freesound focusses only on sound, not songs.”
- CCMixer (http://ccmixter.org/). This audio archive focuses on Creative Commons music. A quote “This is a community music site featuring remixes licensed under Creative Commons, where you can listen to, sample, mash-up, or interact with music in whatever way you want.”
- The Free Music Project (http://freemusic.freeculture.org/) has high quality free music. A quote “We know you love music. We know you love free music. Freeculture.org is building a library of the best free music the web has to offer.”
- PodSafe Audio (http://www.podsafeaudio.com/) “This site aims to provide a location where musicians can upload music under the Creative Commons license for use in Podcasts, Mashups, Shoutcasts, Webcasts and every other kind of ‘casting’ that exists on the ‘net.”
