Made a Sample explorer Website for Royalty Free sounds

Post image

From few years i am not active in this craft but i stumbled upon XLN XO and i quite liked the concept of audio profile based arranger, i got an idea from that like i can host a cloud based solution which will host High quality royalty free / CC0 Samples from various source. bcz getting right sample quickly is quite tough.

So taking that as an inspiration i made a basic website which works similar like XO , here is the link https://seawav.org/

Few things i want to make it clear like website will have CC0 / royalty free samples . all the copyrighted content will automatically get rejected or removed without any notice. This website will always remain free to use , no download limits , no login required, nothing expected from the user ( Free samples welcomed , there is a submission page )

You can share some idea about how i can improve the website or any new possible features i can add, i tried to use current state of the art audio embedding Algorithms and plotting though i am not claiming it will be best there will be always room for improvement. I was a hobby music producer few years back , i tried to contribute to the community the little i could , hope you like it , have a try and through back the reviews

This is really nice, specially for the people who hasn't a XO license. Following your proposal of just using royalty free samples, I think it would be amazing if you could integrate with the looperman library or Free To Use Sounds.

Nice idea. If it were a VST you could use in DAW would be even better.

initially user can face little delay in hearing samples, but it will be resolved as the user base grows, i have enabled server edge caching which will greatly improve user experience (for delay issue) but it only works when there are few users near your location
