Audioblocks Royalty Free Samples Loops and Sound Effects

0:01 There is a website out there called audioblocks.com

Alrighty, got a bit of news for you here and you may be very, very interested. Now, are you finding that, let's say for example, you upload some kind of music content to the web, whether it be Instagram, YouTube, I don't know, Twitter, SoundCloud, wherever, and more often than not, and it's happening more and more, that clip gets deleted or you get adverts over it because of copyright issues. Well, there is a website out there called audioblocks.com. I will put info in the description. And all of their music is royalty free. You can pretty much download till your heart's content. You can put it anywhere on the web. You can even put it underneath your auntie's underwear and no one... You don't think you'd want to do that. No one is going to bat an eyelid. Now, it's not only music...

Clips, there are loops, there are samples and there are effects as well. Now I'm going to be honest with you and straight to the point, this is not for everybody. So if you're an up-and-coming DJ and you feel as though you can go there and get some great audio and make some kind of wicked mix that a manager in Ibiza is going to go, we want that shit! Then you're wrong. On the other hand, if you're a producer or maybe you just want some sound effects, you want some loops... You want something to add to your mix that you know won't get deleted because of the music content you've already got on there, because you don't want to do that in the first place, because if you do that it's pointless in having this stuff because this is royalty free and it's not going to get any problems, but if you see what I mean. Then if you're into just, let's say, using some of these clips because you know that's what you need, you need something in the background, you need a bit of audio in the background.

1:52 Site now, I'm going to pause

You just need a sample effect, you need some sort of sound where some spy bot isn't going to come along and tap your computer and say I'm sorry you weren't allowed to use that. So I'm going to show you the site now, I'm going to pause the camera and I'll just give you a demo, an idea of... All right, so this is one page that's going to give you a bit of an idea. Now, we have an audio loop going on there, a bit of a hip-hop loop. Now, audioblocks.com have told me that if you follow the link in the description, you can get seven days free trial. So you can go on, you can try them out. As I said earlier, these samples and effects are not going to be for everyone, but it's worth giving it a go. That's one of them, a bit of a hip-hop thing going on there.

4:00 There will be a whole bunch of information in the description on audio

Also what you can do, if we look to the left of the screen, we have got duration. So you've got the duration of the clip and also the tempo as well. So what we can do here, for example, if I wanted to just listen to some hip-hop kind of beats, then I would go around about 91 BPM, left cursor and right cursor, I'd bring that down... To around about 110. Okay, so... I think you get the general idea. I'm liking this actually. Like it. Alright, another one, another page I got was crowds. So we've also got crowds, electronic kind of sounds as well. So let's have a listen here. Now very simply as well, don't know if you can see, you can download in MP3 and in WAV. If you like something, click on the ad and there it is. That's, where is it? Sort of add to album. You can add your notes there as well. So you can just add a little bit of a note to remind you about the clip as well. Alright, so there you go. There will be a whole bunch of information in the description on audioblocks.com. Go and check them out. Don't forget as well, it is a 7 day free trial.

All I can say is practice and enjoy a nice one. I'm going to be having a mess around with these. I think what I can see me doing actually, if I go back here to the hip hop, you know something like that, if you think about it, you could download that, you could put that onto a thumb drive or even a CD or even onto your laptop. Bung it into your Serato, your Traktor, your VirtualDJ or your rekordbox, loop it and guess what? You've got a beat. You can then rap over that, you could then find another sample from the site, add that and believe it or not, you can then upload that to YouTube and if you've got a correct account, you can start earning revenue from that video because... It's all royalty free. Alright, I hope that's been a help. Check out the link in the description. Thank you very much. Practice and enjoy. Nice one.
