As a part of my creation process i publish a lot of sample sounds, loops and riffs at:
my ccmixter profile1
my youtube profile2
archive.org3
As of today, 20120126, i have been remixed/sampled 83 times.
[1] On ccmixter i post samples with good enough quality that they can be used by others
[2] Youtube is like my video+audio sketchpad
[3] archive.org is an audio only sketchpad (audio not good enough for ccmixter goes here). i also use it to post my guitar tabs in openoffice ods spreadsheet format on my page Nickleus Guitar Tabs
Useful linux bash commands i use to convert between different audio file types when making my samples:
jack_capture -f flac – to capture a live audio stream from the system output and save it as a flac file
flac -cd sample.flac |lame -b 192 – sample.mp3 – convert a flac file to an mp3 file with a 192kbps bitrate
flac -d sample.flac – convert a flac file to a wav file
flac -d * – convert all flac files in the current directory to wav files
oggenc sample.flac -o sample.ogg – convert a flac file to an ogg vorbis audio file
lame -b 192 sample.wav – convert a wav file to an mp3 with 192 bitrate
sox input.flac output.flac reverse – reversing the audio playback of a file and saving it as a new file
sox input.wav output.wav trim 0 6.85714 – trim an audio file, starting e.g. at 0 and stopping at 6.85714 seconds
