Dear Freesounders, as you might know we have been lately working on a tag recommendation system for Freesound. The system we’ve been working on will suggest potentially meaningful tags when you are describing your uploaded sounds or when you are editing the descriptions of already uploaded sounds. Suggested tags are displayed in a list and can be added to the sounds you’re describing. The good news is that this system has finally been deployed in Freesound and it is ready to help you adding tags to your sounds! If you want to comment and give some feedback/ask questions about the system, please do it in this forum thread. We hope that tag recommendation helps improving the quality and coherence of sound descriptions and eases the uploading process!    

Hello everyone, last two days we’ve been experiencing some problems that caused uploaded sounds to fail processing. The problems are now fixed and we are reprocessing all these files. This means that our beloved and always hard working moderators have now a sudden long queue of sounds pending moderation. Please be patient We will be soon back to normality. Sorry for the delay and thank you for your understanding!    

Hi dear Freesounders! today we’ve added a small new feature that should help those of you uploading sounds. We added a new page called "Uploaded sounds awaiting moderation" to make it easier to keep track of the moderation status of your newly uploaded sounds. Once your sounds are uploaded, described and processed, you’ll see an indicator in the header of Freesound named ‘uploads’, with the number of sounds you have in moderation stage. This indicator is not visible when you have no sounds in moderation stage, or when your newly uploaded sounds have not been processed yet. By clicking at this indicator you’ll be directed to a page with the list of your sounds pending moderation and with links to the moderation ticket, to the edit page for the sound, and with a shinny warning indicating when a moderator added a comment regarding your sound and is awaiting your response. Hope you find this useful!   keep on Freesounding!  

Hi there! we added a small new feature to facilitate the way in which you add and remove sounds from your packs. Say welcome to the "Edit Pack" page! Just like when editing sounds information, you can now click on the "edit pack information" link that you’ll find in your pack pages and use the new interface to edit name, description and add/remove sounds from the pack.   keep on Freesounding!    

Hi. As you are probably noticing, the site is working intermittently at the moment, with 503 and 504 errors appearing often. We haven’t been able to find the source yet. We’ll update this post as we get a clearer idea by tomorrow morning (CET). Hopefully it should improve in the mean time as traffic slows down … bear with us! UPDATE 1: There seems to be a problem with a recent upgrade of the search server. Things seem to work normally again after a restart, but it could still come back… UPDATE 2: After reconfiguring the search server the worst part seems to be passed. We are still looking at some connection problems. Pages may still take a bit to load some times, but most of the time the site seems to run fine. UPDATE 3: In the end the most serious problems were not related to the search server, but to some of our database queries. We are still working on that, but in the mean time you may have noticed we have disabled the link to the page for browsing packs. That helped us to put the situation under control. It will be back very soon. UPDATE 4: The "browse packs" page is back online and optimized so that it does not create problems again.

Recently (about a month ago) we have added https to our web server. This was a requirement for the new v2 API, but it also allows us to browse the page securely. You can tell if you are using https by checking the icon at the left of the address bar. Unfortunately there have been some issues with the transition that took us some time to catch. One possible reason is that it took some time for google to start directing people to the https version of the site. - Registration. The captcha was not appearing when using https. Thus you could never prove you are a human even if you are. Should be fixed now. - Uploading. Uploading sounds larger than 1MB failed as well on https. Fixed too! With respect to 503 and 504 errors mentioned in the previous post, we are still working on it, but it’s looking good. We hope to restore the packs browsing page next week. Happy freesounding!

Hello everyone, we’re happy to announce that today we are officially releasing a new api for Freesound, APIv2! The new api enables developers to make better applications that make use of Freesound content. APIv2 brings many improvements over the previous version such as the possibility to upload sounds or to define queries combining sound metadata and audio descriptors. For more information on whats new, you can check the api documentation here. Let’s see what developers do with the new api!!!   keep on Freesounding!

Dear Freesounders, some of you will already know that as part of our research towards improving Freesound, we’ve been working on a tag recommendation system for Freesound. The goal of this system is to make it easier for you to tag your sounds and at the same time to try to get more comprehensive sound descriptions. The better the sounds are described, the better Freesound will be One year ago we opened an online experiment to evaluate the tag recommendation system that is currently implemented in Freesound. Your participation and feedback was very helpful, and since then we’ve been working on a new version which includes some radical changes that we think will be very useful. For that reason, we are opening now a new online experiment in which we want to compare the new system with the one currently implemented in Freesound. The new experiment is called Freesound tagging experiment 2, and in it you’ll have to annotate a total of 15 sounds. In the experiment, not all of the participants will be using the new interface to annotate these sounds, so don’t be surprised if you only see the typical tag recommendation interface. After the experiment is finished, we will deploy a beta-testing version of the new interface so those who could not try it this time, will be able to do it later. We kindly ask you to participate in the new experiment that we have set up at http://labs.freesound.org/tagrecommendation/. Please carefully read the instructions and follow all steps until the experiment is finished. It will take around 20 minutes. So that is all for the moment, thank you very very very much in advance for your participation.  I hope you find the experiment interesting! keep on Freesounding! ps: you can leave comments and suggestions here EDIT: Thank  you all for participating! The experiment has been closed now with almost 200 participants! We really appreciate your effort    

Hello Freesounders Just thought I would post here to raise awareness of the dare that is currently going on. The entry voted the best piece will be played on an online radio. It could be yours! Read here for details and rules: http://www.freesound.org/forum/dare-the-community/35370/ But hurry: deadline for submissions is 20 Sep 2014!

Hello Freesounders Sometimes I promote the Freesound Dares (our friendly competitions) here on the main page. But sometimes I forget… So, I am trying to make up for it, because this dare is definitely worth promoting. This time the dare is not about samples at all. It is about recognizing, helping and encouraging free-software developers. In particular, the developer of an android app called UFXLoops. - Don’t let the name fool you. This app is actually a DAW powerfull enough to allow you to build a complete music piece. Interested? Full details of the dare are here: http://www.freesound.org/forum/dare-the-community/35496/?page=1#post77006 Now, if you have only seen this now and you did not know about the dare, I have extended the deadline to 30 Nov 2014. So you still have time to participate!

CCMixter, one of the first open platforms for Creative Commons music sharing out there is in trouble. The site was started by Creative Commons themselves many years ago, but understandably "let go" because Creative Commons is a legal organisation, not a music publishing one! Now CCMixter needs your help. About 5 years ago the main creator and developer -good friend of freesound.org!- had to move on to other things in life and the site was taking over by new management. Not wanting to turn the site into a commercial venture, CCMixter was kept on life support for as long as possible. A heap of volunteers are keeping the site up, but lately it is becoming too much work for the volunteers to keep up with the work. This is mostly due to some much needed development work. CCMixter is now doing an indiegogo campaign to raise some funds for better hosting and development work - we thought you might want to know about this…

Dear Freesounders, It is christmas time (again), and the freesound team has prepared a present for you… We have been working on a new functionality* which has just been deployed, and that will allow you to follow freesound users and get notifications when these users upload new sounds! But not only that, you’ll also be able to follow groups of tags, and be notified when new sounds are uploaded that have these tags. It all works in the following way: When visiting a user profile, you’ll find a "Follow" button right under the user avatar. Click on this button to start following that user. When browsing sounds by tags, you’ll find a "Follow tags" button under the group of tags that you selected for browsing. By clicking this button, you’ll start following sounds tagged with all of these tags. In your settings page, you can tick the new checkbox that says "Receive weekly stream update email notifications" to turn on notifications for new sounds uploaded by the users you follow or with the tags you follow. We will only send you one email per week, with a summary of all updates, and we are only going to send that email if there are updates. Once you start following users and tags, you can use your new activity stream page to show all updates from users and tags you follow. By default this page shows updates for the last week (just like the email notification), but you can also specify other periods of time and, for example, list sounds uploaded by the users you follow that were uploaded during the last month. You’ll find a link to the activity stream in your home page. Hmmm.. that is all! We hope you enjoy this new functionality and, as always, please tell us if you find things that are not working as expected! keep on Freesounding! * thanks to nunoh who joined the team for a while and did most of the implementation of this functionality

Dear Freesounders, You maybe didn’t know this yet, but Freesound has just turned 10 this month! The project started out as an all-red website back in the days. It was built on rather shabby technology and has by now grown way beyond its initial goals. Way back in 2005 I took Xavier Serra‘s idea of "having a website where composers can exchange sounds" for ICMC 2005. I hacked together something rather rudimentary and invited some of my friends over. We started adding a few sounds and very quickly Freesound unexpectedly exploded into a massive sprawling community. Freesound was rewritten from scratch to support the high demand and by now I’m no longer involved in Freesound on a fulltime basis: other amazingly capable people at the Music Technology Group have taken over while I moved a bit more to the background. I still keep an honorary position in Freesound as the "Self-Proclaimed Benevolent Dictator for Life" which is probably why I’m writing this happy post…! So, what about the next 10 year? Well, many plans are brewing!! As you might know, a lot of research is being carried out in the Music Technology Group, including plenty of research related to Freesound. Work is being done to improve the way in which sounds are stored, analysed and described. Improvements in searching and browsing would be a first result from this work. Improvements in uploading and describing sounds a second. The Freesound Team is also starting collaborations with third parties and preparing really exciting new research and development projects that will support Freesound in the coming years. Stay tuned, future looks promising! So, what about some fun nerdy statistics? 240 000 sounds, uploaded by 13 000 people. If all sounds were played after one another, Freesound would by now play for 146 days straight! More than 4 million people have signed up to download sounds more than 65 million times. More than 50 000 people visit us each day. In order to celebrate this joyous day, one of our moderators who you all know as AlienXXX has created a new "Freesound Dare" that matches the 10 year anniversary theme! We dare you to join it! Best Greetings, Bram - in the name of the Freesound Team PS: have you freed your sound today??!

Yes, it is true: Freesound is 10 years old! I am launching one of our friendly competitions celebrating the occasion. Find out more and get involved: http://www.freesound.org/forum/dare-the-community/37610/

Hi everyone, as some of you might have noticed, we’re having problems processing sounds. Don’t worry about your sounds, they’re safe and you can continue uploading, but they won’t be processed (and moderated) until the problems are fixed. Thank you for your understanding, we’ll let you know when processing is up and running again! [edit: problem has been fixed and sounds are being reprocessed]   frederic

Hi everyone, We’re glad to announce that we’re in the process of uploading around 70GB of analog synthesizer samples to Freesound*, aka the Modular Samples library, consisting of 40,000 samples organised in 461 packs, recorded from 20 different analog synthesizers and released with the CC0 license ! All sounds are tagged with instrument names, note names, midi note numbers and, when available, different velocity layers. Check them out at http://www.freesound.org/people/modularsamples/ All this has been possible thanks to the incredible efforts of Richard Taylor, who has been creating this library for many years and has now kindly offered it to us to upload to Freesound. Make sure to check the Modular Samples library’s official page, facebook and soundcloud profiles. Thanks Richard! Enjoy!!! frederic * At the time of this writing we have only uploaded around 10% of the whole library, you can expect the upload process to continue during the following days… UPDATE 10/7/2015: The Modular Samples library has been now completely uploaded!  

Dear freesounders, we are happy to announce that we’ve just launched a new Freesound-side site called Freesound Labs. Freesound Labs is a directory of projects, hacks, apps, research and other initiatives that use content from Freesound or use the Freesound API. Our aim is to keep on updating this directory as we come across more and more Freesound powered projects. If you know of projects that should be listed in this directory and are not there, please let us know We hope that you enjoy navigating Freesound Labs and getting to know what amazing things people are doing with content from Freesound. In the end, all this is possible thanks to all of your contributed sounds, so you can feel proud of it cheers,   frederic  

Before & After declipping Imagine you have a sound file that was badly recorded, with no possibility to re-record, and with no clean version : how to deal with the clipping, the saturation, the distorsion ? Imagine you have a mix/(pre)mastering that was crushed-to-death in a "loudness war" fashion and you have lost all the original files : how to fix this mess ? Is there a possibility to clean / smooth the sound ? how to "unsaturate" ? can i have declipping ? -> no <- it’s too late, we can’t go back to the clean sound! But we can do our best to limit the damages. here’s some informations : http://www.wavosaur.com/forum/can-distortion-be-removed-or-minimized-t1262.html And now a selection of plugins to help fixing the clipping disasters : I won the loudness war Declipper plugins : Some editors provide plugins that can add some improvements, Izotope has developed a suite, intended for repairing audio : this include music restoration, "declipping", noise removal etc.. It’s a bit expensive but if you really need it, you have it all ! Izotope RX3 more info and download demo @ http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/rx/   We have hunted down freeware declipper plugins on the interweb, we only found two, three if we include the "transient designer" (it can heal some overcompressed files) :   Relife 1.42 Relife 1.42 by Terry West More info and free download @ http://www.terrywest.nl/utils.html This free VST declipper can bring the oversqueezed samples to life, or smoothes a bad vocal recording. It was used on the clipped sample you can see on the first picture. Don’t expect miracles, but don’t hesitate to test the three algo, to find which is working best for you.   Declipper DX plugin 2.5 Declipper plugin 2.5 Free download @ http://www.silksound.com/geniesys/ This is a directX plugin, you have to use a DX-VST wrapper (like vb ffx4) in order to make it work in Wavosaur. This free declipping plugin try to resynthetize the peak lost by the overclipping, It has advanced controls, you can have a look at the help to understand how it works. It aslo has a compress feature.   Bittersweet 3 Flux Bittersweet 3 Informations & Freeware download @ http://www.fluxhome.com/products/freewares/bittersweet-v3 This one is not intented for "declipping" but is a transient designer, and it can help to get a smoother sound. It’s subtle, and more important : it has a big knob !   Don’t expect wonders, once a signal is clipped / saturated / overclipped / distorded, you can’t go back to a clean signal.  

Imagine you’ve just made some recordings using a digital recorder, and when importing the files into an audio editor : the volume is too low ! you can barely hear what have been recorded. And of course, you can’t re-record with a good level. This happens too if you get files from someone, and the files were badly recorded. The level is low, let’s volumize it ! How to get back you recording to the right level with Wavosaur Easy ! just crank up the volume! Sometimes it’s just easy as that, but depending on your recording, it can be more complex. We present four methods, and in which case you may use one method or another : 1) Normalize - open your low level file in Wavosaur - click on normalize button in the toolbar : this will normalize the sound to 0 dB or go to menu -> Process -> Normalize and select -0.3 dB or -1dB (or less if you want to leave some room) This is a peak normalize : it founds the highest peak in the file and multiply the entire file to make this highest peak equals 0 dB (or the value you have fixed : -0.3dB, -1dB, -3dB, etc..) This is the fastest method, and it will work in most case : if your recording is like the one in the first picture on the left. But if you have more dynamics, the "peak normalize" method could be unsufficient : imagine you have a small peak @ -6 dB, like this : small peak in the low level recording a peak normalize won’t work in this case. You can edit the peak : remove it if this is unwanted information, or lower the volume of the peak (with "volume" command!) and  then normalize. This is relatively simple if you have this configuration : only few peaks, small (in time) and very different from the desired signal.   2) Volume - Open your file in Wavosaur, select the part you want the volume to be raised then go to menu->Process->Volume->Custom and enter a positive value in the box + 6dB is corresponding to volume X 2 If you want to apply volume change on all the file ; use CTRL+A to select all and then use Volume Use this method if you have different parts with different level but the level is not changing very much over the time   3) Volume automation You may have to use a more flexible tool than the simple normalize and volume : Volume automation you can use volume automation curves for more precise control : http://www.wavosaur.com/quick-help/automation.php , use this if your file has softer/ lower parts and louder parts that are very different   4) use a VST plugins chain : compressor / gainer / limiter - open your file in Wavosaur then open the VST rack- put something like a "gainer" then a limiter in your chain, some free VST limiter plugins here : http://www.wavosaur.com/vst/limiter-plugins.php We’ll post more advanced informations about this in a future article about compressors / limiters / expander and dynamic processing in general.   And now the cleaning ! If you are lucky, your file will sound good after the volume gain operation. in this case, you have nothing more to do. But if your recording has noise, when you raise the overall volume : you raise the noise volume too. Depending on the type of noise, you can use different methods: 1) i have "HUM" noise, low frequency "static" noise , 50/60 Hz electric noise If you have a low frequency noise, and your signal can live without (you have recorded a voice, or a single instrument in a higher frequency band), you can use a filter ! hipass filter is good for you,  in Wavosaur, go to menu->Effects->Filter->High performance filter then select "high pass" and choose the cutoff frequency  : anything under the cutoff frequency (noise!) will be attenuated you can also use VST filters (set the resonance / Q to zero), like these : http://blog.wavosaur.com/the-5-best-free-vst-filters/   2) i have noise everywhere ! if the noise can’t be removed with filters without too much damage to the overall signal, you can try the FFT noise reducing method : here’s a simple tutorial : http://www.wavosaur.com/tutorials/how-to-remove-noise.php make sure you have a part of the signal with "only noise"    

Wavosaur, now available in 64 bit Wavosaur has been updated ! The version 1.1.0.0 is now ready for download : http://www.wavosaur.com Wavosaur is now available as 32 bit application AND 64 bit application ! The 64 bit version runs natively on 64 bit Windows system, like Windows 7 and Windows 8, this means Wavosaur can adress more RAM. And of course can run 64 bit VST plugins. In this 1.1.0.0 version we also fix bug with the VST host, that was causing some plugins to stop working, like the Izotope plugins. The VST compatibility is improved !

Now that Wavosaur can work natively on 64 bit systems, we need some 64 bit VST plugin effects that are full 64 bit. Many of the free VST plugins are still 32 bit, but we have found some nice 64 bit plugins, for your needs : compressor, limiter, reverb, equalizer, filter, distorsion !   1) TDR Feedback Compressor II TDR Feedback Compressor II ! free Info and free download @ http://www.tokyodawn.net/tdr-feedback-compressor-2/ This software compressor is very clean, works nice with any input, and has all the controls you need. You can use it on the master if you want, it has this transparent quality. It’s free, it’s x64, it’s funky.   2) Reverberate LE Reverberate LE download now ! => http://www.liquidsonics.com/software_reverberate.htm We already talked about the Reverberate plugin in the "top 5 best free reverb VST" post. It’s good, it’s a convolution reverb plugin, so you have to feed it with some impulse response file, and it’s x64 !   3) W1 Limiter W1 Limiter free VST plugin Information and free download here : http://www.yohng.com/software/w1limit.html the W1 Limiter plugin is a clone of Waves L1 limiter. It really does the job. don’t hesitate to downoad and test ! it’s freeware.   4) Marvel GEQ Marvel GEQ information & download @ http://www.voxengo.com/product/marvelgeq/ Everybody needs a good graphic EQ for mastering / mixing / sound design This free plugin is a 16 band linear phase EQ, is very clean, and allows you to make quick adjustments  to your tracks.   5) TAL Chorus TAL Chorus Freeware download => http://kunz.corrupt.ch/products/tal-chorus-lx This is a Juno60-esque chorus, it’s available in 64 bit, and it does the job.   6) Izotope Vinyl Izotope Vinyl plugin Go ! http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/Vinyl/ The ultimate LOFI, now in 64 bit ! Because everybody needs gthe sound of a good old grammophone.   7) Camel Crusher Camelcrusher Get it now ! => http://www.camelaudio.com/vst-plugins.php Does it have a distorsion unit ? Yes ! Does it have a compressor and a post filter ? Yes ! Does it have a "phat mode" ? YES ! Does it have a "Turn it to 11 " preset ? YEAH ! And it’s freeware + works on native 64 bit host.   8) Sinusweb FreeverbToo Freeverbtoo free plugin more info and download @ http://www.sinusweb.de/ The freeverb algorithm, in a nice interface, and with an additional gate. It’s very nice and will fill your reverb needs.   9) Ohmforce Frohmage Ohmforce Frohmage Free ! download ! 64 bit ! => https://www.ohmforce.com/UseFreeSoftware.do?action=listFreeNonStandalones&productId=6 Hmm du bon froHmage, le filter qui sent des pieds ! It’s phat, it has 8 presets, it’s a filter for all the people. and it’s available in 64 bit 10) Voxengo Span Voxengo Span VST Free download : http://www.voxengo.com/product/span/ We always need a good spectrum analysis, this one, is not only very good, it’s free and 64 bit !     Conclusion: Of course you can use the 32 bit version of Wavosaur if you still want to use 32 bit plugins (the majority of free plugins are 32 bit!) But nothing prevents you from using the two versions of Wavosaur : 64 bit when you need large amount of RAM for editing, and 32 bit when you need a large choice of VST plugins. If you know very good free plugins in 64 bit, don’t hesitate to comment!

Update now ! When a new version of Wavosaur is available for download, many users ask how to update Wavosaur. Wavosaur has no installer, so there is no "uninstaller". Some users aren’t comfortable with this! How does it work ? ! Wavosaur is a single executable, if you have wavosaur.exe you got all you need ! When launched for the first time, the application create two text files to store user configuration informations : wavosaur.ini and wavosaur.cfg. These files store information like : The icons & toolbars arrangement the last opened files the last mp3 bitrate selected in the export dialog the audio & editor configuration etc.. If you want to keep these informations when updating Wavosaur, just replace the old wavosaur.exe file with the new wavosaur.exe. The new wavosaur.exe file is in the zip archive you can download here : http://www.wavosaur.com/download.php. We recommend using 7zip, or winrar, or winzip, or whatever you want to extract the exe file from the archive. Or in worst case : extract files from a zipped compressed file Note that Wavosaur also create a "wavosaur.vst" file if you use the "scan VST" feature. It works like the two other configuration files. Read also this : http://www.wavosaur.com/forum/reset-all-the-wavosaur-settings-t1307.html

Record anything   You have some audio recording capable sofwares like Wavosaur or Streamosaur, and you want to record the audio output of your computer. It is useful when you need to : record web radio sample live audio streaming record what is played on website like youtube record / sample quotes from movies record internet phone conversations etc..! If you have a decent soundcard, it should come with drivers that are able to provide some kind of routing, like the "directwire" from Waveterminal 192L : Directwire : connect any output to any input ! What if i only have the internal soundcard of my computer ? Now since Window Vista / 7, the audio configuration in Windows is a little more cumbersome. 1) open the configuration panel, choose the "classic view" Windows control panel   2) click on "sound", then go to the "Recording" panel, this is where the software device inputs should appear. Sound confinguration   3) now right click in this window and select "Show Disable Device", a new recording device should show up : "Stereo Mix" Stereo Mix is here ! 4) If the Stereo Mix device is not activated, right click on it and select "Enable" Enable stereo mix 5) open Wavosaur, go to menu "Options" and select "Audio Configuration" The stereo mix is in the "Audio in" tab, you are now able to select it, and record whatever is playing on the computer   Use Wavosaur if you want to sample a short phrase, or a song from a webradio, or a little DJ mix. Use Streamosaur http://www.wavosaur.com/streamosaur/ if you want to make longer recording, and directly encoded in  mp3 format.

One of the most used effect in music production / sound design / FX is the DELAY. Many VST delay plugins are available, from very expensive to absolutely free. Wavosaur can host VST plugins, with his VST rack, and it also can load presets ! single preset FXP or presrt bank (FXB) We have picked one of the best (and oldest) reverb plugin and made about 10 presets to show all you can do with simple delays : Blue Delay VST !! by Digilogue BlueDelay VST plugin Information and download blueline vst pack @ http://www.digilogue.de/download.htm#BlueLine Download 10 presets for bluedelay ! => http://blog.wavosaur.com/download/BlueDelay-preset bank.fxb Basically, we play with these three parameters to create different kind of FX, from echo to flanger : delay time feedback filter Here’s some quick examples demo of these presets, used on a vocal : Slap delay ! a short single delay, a very classic effect, ideal for voice, old school but immortal http://blog.wavosaur.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/slap-delay.mp3   "Space" FX, there’s no echo in space, but this one is stellar ! http://blog.wavosaur.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/trapped-with-vampire.mp3   Robot voice : a nice robot, not a bad robot with red eyes http://blog.wavosaur.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/classic-robot.mp3   Dub delay : thanks to the lowpass filter and a high feedback http://blog.wavosaur.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/test-a-dub.mp3   Metallic FX : a nice voice FX http://blog.wavosaur.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/metallicosaur.mp3   Flanging Vocodizer : the shorter we come! low low delay time http://blog.wavosaur.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/vocodize.mp3   Into the Crypt : creeeepy http://blog.wavosaur.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/cryptx.mp3   - download free preset bank FXB : http://blog.wavosaur.com/download/BlueDelay-preset bank.fxb- open Wavosaur - load a sound file - open VST rack in Wavosaur - load BlueDelay VST - click on "load FXB" and choose the BlueDelay-preset bank.fxb file you can click on the preset name to load the preset: Presets list in VST rack
