The Official Share A Sample Thread™

I spend a lot of time at work chopping up samples for use when I get home, so thought I'd start a thread (forgive the use of ™) to share a few of them with fellow DSFers.

Start off with this;

Flasher Intro Synth.wav

This was taken from an obscure opening track off some even more obscure 70s film. Kinda a weird atmospheric synth pattern. Anyways, thought it sounded suitably interesting.

(if you're feeling equally generous, please feel free to add your own)

Lo fi cover version of Sunshine Of Your Love made entirely using early synth (intro)

would entire folders of sounds be appropriate. I'm sure it would be, uploading a "lil" something now to megaupload...pretty dope.

Don't see why not - if you're happy to share it, sure they'll be people on here happy to snaffle it off you :0

Yeh I do too and sample Youtube now n then.

But how are you chopping them up? at home I use something like Recycle but I struggle to get any real use out of it.

I'm chopping them with Audacity - by sight at first to get the rough section, then zooming in and chopping to get fine tuning
