Aw, geez, a week ago, and you would have been first, but iStock beat you to it. Bad timing, eh?

eta: You may want to differentiate yourself, by not copying elements from the iStock homepage.

In just a few weeks we will see a bunch of people with recorders calling themselves "music or sound engineers"...

By the way, there are no fart, belching or bathroom sounds submitted yet... Guess mine will be the first... A dollar for your intestinal sounds doesn´t sound too bad!

Batman first clean up your fart with Noise-ninja or neat-image first otherwise they may be rejected for way too noisy

Wait, you mean the built-in mic on my iBook doesn't make me a sound engineer?? Damn.

I had a recording studio that took up the entire second floor of my house, and have loads of original music, plus some nice location sounds. Much of it goes back to the 70s and 80s, four track.

As sjlocke pointed out, many of the pages have the look and feel of iStock.

I took a look at the site and saw that there were about 8 contributors, which makes me kind of suspicious? Some lame drum machine files. Would you pay $1 for 23 seconds of synthesized bass and drums?

If i knew what an iPod shuffle was, that might mean something? So why aren't people jumping on the free iPod deal?

Anyone know who actually behind this site? I'd like to change my mind and start going through the archives, but something is making me wait and see. Questions like, will "AudioMicro" return to answer questions, or was this a one time drive by posting?

Hello Talk Micro folks

This may help answer some of your questions. I am the founder behind the Platform -->

Ryan Born - LinkedIn

We have a team in place that's growing to meet everyone's needs.

We went live with 0 submissions in the archive. We have 100 or so clips in 2 days and nobody knows about us because we have no press or marketing to date. All of that is changing starting now.

This is a great opportunity to become part of a new audio community and showcase your work. Many successful content licensors and communities started with no submissions. We had to start somewhere. We will improve the quality of the work and look of the site over time. The low quality clips on the site are mostly just test files from our engineers. There are already some very talented artists posting (and it's been 2 days live with no SEO, press, or marketing). Check out these artists -->

Your public profile on audiomicro.com

We are constantly working to improve the platform. We just rolled out a multi-file upload function today. We are here to help you. Due to a high work load, we cannot monitor and post in these blogs very often and we respectfully ask that you contact us at audiomicro@audiomicro.com if you have questions, we will respond.

As far as iPods go...we are giving them away and the contest is 100% legit. The first 100 artists with 100 accepted uploads will receive a 1GB Apple iPod shuffle, no questions asked (except maybe your mailing address).

Thank you for all of the comments.

Thanks for coming back to explain some things. At least I have confidence now that it's not some FBN agency running out of Mom's basement.
