A new cloud-based sound effects platform, Soundly, is now available in beta for both Mac & Windows.
Soundly lets you drag sound effects from the cloud and drop them into projects. It works with any software that supports drag & drop, such as Pro Tools, Logic, Final Cut, Premiere etc.
You can drag your local sound effects to Soundly and use it to index them.
Features:
- Mono, stereo and 5.1
- Smart, lossless compression from our server gives you lightning fast transfers
- Built on Google’s infrastructure for unparalleled redundancy, safety and speed
- Option for lower resolution files on slow connections
- Access the extensive Freesound.org library directly from within Soundly
- Index local wav, aiff and mp3 files up to 192khz 32bit
- Reads meta data from production music libraries in mp3 format
- For Mac and Windows
The app is free to download and comes with a collection of free sound effects. Subscription option are also available that provide access to a larger sound library. See the Soundly site for details.
There is a possibility to buy packs, and the free packs (Freesound.org) require you to have a subscription.
Let that sink, you actually need a 15$/mo subscription to get access to Freesound.org, which you already can, and to get the possibility to buy packs. Because you can’t add libraries when you don’t pay. So you basically get nothing you don’t already have for that subscription beside some cloud storage for your effects. Which you can get for free (Google Drive, Dropbox, Onedrive, etc.)
So why is this a good idea?
not good…to access the freesound.org database you have to pay…not good guys, u should have think twice about it…even if the interface looks good
Hi Rivalo! I think you might have misunderstood Soundly, or we’ve done a poor job of explaining it 🙂
In the pro version, besides all the features In the software, you get access to a big sound library we have made specifically for Soundly, That’s what your paying for. As a bonus you also get access to libraries from the store and a lot of other features, and a great librarian for your local sounds.
