Do you want to upload an original song? (Go here instead)

Upload a single file to Sampleswap

Use the form below to upload a single sound, or a .zip / .rar / .sit archive containing lots of sounds.

ONLY UPLOAD SOUNDS WHICH YOU MADE YOURSELF (or sampled yourself from an out-of-print funky record, etc.)
Recommendation: upload snippets from songs you've abandoned, or loops cut out of things you've been working on.

Please don't upload sounds that came from commercial sample/loop libraries, or snippets from songs you didn't make yourself. THANKS!

To upload a file from your hard drive, first click Browse... Then Submit.

"I don't have anything worth uploading..."
     ... Sure you do!

  • Have a song you abandoned? Bounce a few isolated loops or chunks of it to disk so someone else can make a remix...
      
  • Do you live in a place with some interesting radio? Grab 30 seconds and upload it. No interesting radio? Surf around in the AM bands in that in-between space and record those weird swooping sci-fi sounds.
      
  • Sing into a microphone. Vocode it. Pitch-shift it. Use it as a sidechain to gate a second recording -- maybe your blender making a fantastic margarita?
