We wanted a repository of instantly-usable sounds for music (and other "sound-combination" pocesses) production. Songs are good to sample from, but nothing beats a pre-cut loop, or a multi-sampled vibraphone when it comes to making music.

And, there's plenty of sites out there that already do songs. ccMixter being probably one of best known ones. There's not one site that does only samples, we thought there should be.

Freesound is a tool for "music-MAKING" rather than "music-LISTENING".

Hope that makes sense.
