Community Guide
Audionode is an open platform where every user shapes the library. Your contributions make the difference.
Audionode is completely open. Every sample generated is public. Every collection can be explored. Every tag helps others find sounds. The platform thrives because of your contributions.
Quality matters. The 7-day cleanup system means only the best samples survive. When you download, tag, or collect a sample, you're voting for its quality. You're helping build a library that serves everyone.
Tags help everyone find sounds. Use clear, descriptive tags that accurately describe the sample. Think about what you'd search for. Avoid spam tags or irrelevant keywords. Quality tagging makes the library more useful for everyone.
Collections are powerful. They showcase the best samples and help others discover sounds they might miss. Create collections with a clear purpose. Name them descriptively. Think of them as playlists for producers.
Download or collect samples you'd actually use. This keeps them in the library and signals quality to others. Don't hoard everything. Be selective. Your curation helps the natural selection process work.
Generate samples when you need them. Experiment with parameters. Explore different nodes and instruments. But don't spam the library with random generations. Quality over quantity keeps the platform valuable.
The 7-day cleanup exists for a reason. It keeps the library fresh and high quality. Don't try to game it. Trust the process. Good samples will survive naturally through genuine use and appreciation.
Audionode is different. There's no editorial team deciding what's good. No gatekeepers controlling access. The community decides through real use. Every download, every tag, every collection is a vote.
This creates something unique. A library that reflects what producers actually need. Not what someone thinks they should want. Your participation shapes the platform. Your standards become everyone's standards.
Keep it high quality. Be thoughtful. Help others find great sounds. That's how we build the best sample library on Earth together.
