The Search field found at the top of Farrago's Sets List helps you locate audio already in Farrago, as well as audio from other sources.
When you enter a term in the search field, Farrago will look for tiles that match it. If results are found in the currently visible set, Farrago will highlight them visually:
In addition, results located in other sets will be listed in the left sidebar, and available for fast playback:
Farrago’s search can also locate audio from other resources, as detailed below. You can play or preview audio right from Farrago’s search results, then drag audio into a Farrago set for future use.
You can navigate search results using the arrow keys on the keyboard. To play audio, highlight a result and press Return, or double-click it. If you wish to preview the audio, playing it through the Preview output device configured in Farrago's Settings window, hold the Shift key when starting playback via Return or clicking on the tile.
If you find audio you wish to save for future use, you can drag it from the left side of the window into the current set, and a new tile will be created.
For your convenience, Farrago’s search includes Apple audio loops which are installed as part of GarageBand and Logic Pro. These loops are included in search results by default, but you can toggle their inclusion on or off from the Search tab of the Settings window.
Freesound provides a fantastic resource which you can use to find sounds to use with Farrago. Freesound is a collaborative database that features hundreds of thousands of sounds, all released under Creative Commons licenses that allow for reuse. For more details on licensing, see the “Audio File License Types” section below.
Results from Freesound are included in Farrago’s search results by default. You can toggle their inclusion on or off from the Search tab of the Settings window.
Farrago provides a limited number of complimentary searches of the Freesound archive each day. To remove the daily search limit, register for your own Freesound account. There’s absolutely no charge.
Once you’ve created a Freesound account, enter the relevant information into Farrago’s Settings to remove the search limitations.
All the sounds provided by Freesound are available free of charge. However, they have varying licenses which you must abide by. Freesound offers a detailed explanation of licenses on their site, but we've summarized the basics for Farrago.
Farrago’s search results include sounds with two distinct licenses, “Creative Commons Zero” and “Creative Commons Attribution”. When you import a sound into your set, the tile’s Notes tab will contain information on the sound’s license, as well as a link to the sound’s page on Freesound.
Sounds released under the Creative Commons Zero license are entirely unrestricted, and you can use them however you see fit, with no requirements.
Sounds released under the Creative Commons Attribution license have no restrictions on usage, but you must give appropriate credit to the original creator.
