Good samples

Post by Koushirou »

does anybody know any places online to download (for free, and in .wav) samples to use in a program like fruity loops? i'm trying to find some good synth sounds, and ive been playing with the ones that come with fruity loops but they all feel like bad techno. thx.

hey thanks guys those are some great links! i just have a couple more questions

what type of techniques (eqing, effects) can i use to make these samples sound less "comptuery" and more warm (best way i can describe it)?

and sort of a unique request... are there any good samples of a hi hat being hit while being closed? for some reason all of the realistic drum sample kits i find have either open or closed, never the inbetween. thx
