Hi Product Hunters!
I'm excited to be able to share this project of mine. The vision behind Sample Focus is to create a sound library so seamless and intuitive that it eventually replaces your personal collection. Think of it as a cross between YouTube and Wikipedia but for sound. I've always had the most dysfunctional relationship with the samples/sound on my hard drive as far as organization and discovery. It takes forever to find what I'm looking for. Other sampling sites I've seen are not well organized either IMO. Whats the point of a huge library if you can't find anything? This site was born to solve these organization and discovery problems for myself and others.
Detailed categories and a comprehensive tag system are the backbone of the organization amongst other cool features such as Similar or Complimentary Sounds. Right now there is a download credit system in place to encourage users to upload and share their sounds. Later I hope to roll out a system where creators are paid on a per download basis.
I'm eager to hear your thoughts, feedback, and questions!
OMG. I'm going to have to quite everything I'm doing for the next 3 years and just play with this. thanks @writerpollock

Hey Daniel, nice move, as a sound engineer and sound designer I've never understood why there is no sound research on Google. After all there's a good reason why 'Audiovisual' starts with audio.
