I'm brand new to swell. What do you guys use Swell for? What should I use it for? Let me know

But it's also really interesting to think about surprise content that evolves here that you can leverage inside your podcasters forum ideas for a show that you think about. The podcast form here is getting filled up with people thinking about this, so I'm listening closely to see who gives you more ideas with your questions. So very cool that you're here. Welcome
They have a question, and they want other users of this app to answer their questions. So it's pretty simple. I mean, you can create whatever you want, whatever that's on your mind. You'll you can use it for whatever, man. It's whatever you feel. It's whatever you desire to create. Once again welcome to swell. Peace out. Bye

And so that part is what keeps me coming back daily and keeps me commenting on other Swell as I navigate this platform. I commented yesterday on someone else's, I need to find a how to guide or someone who's on YouTube has already done a video on how to navigate slow, because I see people put, like, fancy pictures on their Swell

Hey. At good times. Universe, it's Allie. Here. I did see your post there, just asking what some different people use the platform for. Swab. I'm fairly new myself, so I had the same sort of question in a little while ago. Just wondering what exactly does it consist of and what sort of different genres and topics that people actually talk about on here
I thought it would be fun to do collaborative storytelling, but where you also incorporate sound effects, like, I don't know, using pots and pans or something to create the sound of thunder or do you know if there's something sort of aspect of the story that that could be built into it? I don't know. There's so many things you can do with sound, like the possibilities are endless. Anyway, welcome to Swell. What do you think you're going to use it for?
Oh, this reminds me. I don't know if there is an account. I can't remember. This has been a long time, Deb. You may have to help me with this one. But there was either an account or a specific swell where everyone was sharing a sound in their vicinity. And sometimes you had to guess, like figure out, you see, if you could guess what the sound was, or it was very clear what the sound was

Welcome to Swell. I've hope you've been enjoying your time on here so far. I like to use Swell to just really talk about any of my thoughts I like to get out. I kinda like to use it as a little journal to keep track of things and like of things in my life too, like little weekly updates. And I like to use it also to talk about different true crime cases. That's something I love talking about and I love researching and looking into

That is such a yes. We had I had a Swell cast, a whole channel, I think it was called Sounds of Swell. And I sort of I think I got rid of it at some point because people were doing it organically anyway in their own conversations. We'd have Swell cash that say, hey, here's the sound of my coffee, or whatever. Absolutely. Unity Eagle did a beautiful one

Yes, I found it. It's a group we can all join and stay in deep listening. Here's the link
Somehow I missed this one. Thank you for that link. But I found the other one as well. It's an opens webcast called Found Sound. I just clicked on it. So it still does exist. I'll put the username below. Thank you, Deb, for digging these up

Hey, Deborah. It's been a minute since I spent time on Swell, and I came across this post now, but I see you already found it. So, yeah, have fun. And please, people, do add more and be in soundscapes, because, like Deborah, I love listening to them

Hey, you Niegel. I was thinking about you. I swear to God, I have these raccoons that visit me not me, my yard. And I've been sleeping with the window open just to get fresh air because it's beautiful here. But the raccoons come at the same every night and there are four of them. And they crawl up a pretty high fence to get into my yard. And it's a very specific sound. It's nailed on wood

Oh, my goodness. I would love to hear that sound. And yes, isn't it funny how some sounds can trigger so many feelings? And that's what I love about sound. Yeah, I really look forward to so hopefully, you cannot succeed with posting it in the ambient soundscapes group. So I wait patiently and I will stay tuned
