Frequently Asked Questions
Getting Started
What is Sound Snacks?
Sound Snacks is a curated library of synth loops and samples with a browser-based sample studio. You can browse, audition, shape, and download samples — all from your browser, no DAW required.
Do I need to sign up to listen to samples?
No. You can browse the entire library and play every sample without signing up. You only need an account to download.
How do I create an account?
Click "Sign In" in the sample browser. Enter your email and we'll send you a magic link — no password needed. Click the link in your email and you're in.
Credits & Downloads
How do credits work?
1 credit = 1 sample download. Buy credit packs (10 for $9.99, 25 for $19.99, or 50 for $29.99), then spend them on any sample you want. Credits never expire.
What format are the downloads?
Full downloads are 24-bit WAV files at 44.1kHz — studio quality, ready to drop into any DAW. Previews in the browser are compressed MP3s.
Can I re-download a sample I already purchased?
Yes, always. Re-downloads are free — you'll never be charged twice for the same sample.
Are credits refundable?
Unused credits can be refunded. Once credits have been used to download samples, those credits are non-refundable. Contact us at
hello@soundsnacks.co if you have any issues.
Licensing
Can I use Sound Snacks samples in commercial music?
Yes. All samples come with a royalty-free license for commercial and non-commercial use. Use them in songs, beats, scores, podcasts, videos, games — anything. See our full
Sample License Agreement.
Do I need to credit Sound Snacks?
No, attribution is not required. But if you want to shout us out, we always appreciate it.
Can I share downloaded samples with my collaborator?
Each person who wants to use Sound Snacks samples in their own projects needs their own account and credits. However, a single download covers all collaborators working on the same track together.
Will I get copyright claims on YouTube or Spotify?
No. We do not register our samples with Content ID or any automated claim system. If you ever receive a claim you think is related to a Sound Snacks sample, email us and we'll sort it out.
The Sample Studio
What is the sample studio?
It's a browser-based tool for shaping samples before you download them. You can apply effects (filter, reverb, delay, distortion), chop sections, adjust pitch, and preview samples against a drum bed — all without leaving your browser.
Do the effects change what I download?
No. Downloads are always the original, unprocessed 24-bit WAV. The studio effects are for auditioning and creative exploration — the download is the clean source file for you to process however you like in your DAW.
Submitting Samples
Can I submit my own samples to Sound Snacks?
Yes! We accept individual sample submissions — you can submit as few as one. Every submission goes through the same quality review. Email us at
hello@soundsnacks.co with a few examples of your work.
What format should I submit in?
24-bit WAV at 44.1kHz, stereo. Don't worry about mastering — we handle loudness normalization and quality control on our end.
Do I keep the rights to samples I submit?
Submission terms (compensation, exclusivity, rights) are agreed on individually before anything is published. We'll work out the details when you reach out.
