main ones i couldn't do without the goldbaby tape 808 pack...

If it's percussion samples you're looking for, then all you need is goldbaby. Some free, others cost, but all high quality.

manray - nobody is saying any way is better than the other, just that people prefer different ways of working and the results that they bring.

mine is better than yours though, obviously

yeah...

that vienna orchestra library is the shit

and sure man, I often miss those strings so it would be great if you could link me!

I don't pay for a sample pack.

I just sample from anything, everywhere, at any time.

I personally don't sample from generes that I'm producing (drum & bass, dubstep, minimal techno). That's my personal preference, everything else is fair game though.

smart

flea markets are godsends for cheap odd genre vinyl for sampling as well

But this guy stated he was just getting started. I don't see any harm in him buying a few sample CDs to mess around with.

when first starting i'd stick to free samplepacks off sites like here, the grid etc
sample cds can be a bit pricey, especially when you could use that money on plugins, hardware, monitors etc

I guess.

what people make songs frome sample??????

mate if you want to be origanal make you own shit. drum samples are good but make your own loops. making good sounds takes a long time to get good at but its not hard at all. also try not to use presets at all.

I have to disagree. The famous saying goes... "you can't pollish a turd" so a shit sample will sound shit no matter how much you process it. On the flip if you start with a good quality sample and process it well, it will sound bloody amazing! Sampling from Vinyl usually give a nice warm sound with a good bottom end. point is tho most people cant afford expensive drum machines like roland 909 or 808 so a good drum sample library is essential in my opinion and if you are layering, processing, EQing etc then its not in anyway selling out or being less creative in my opinion.

being "original" has more to do than making your own loops and shit. I'm not trying to start anything, but if you think that you will be more original if you don't use samples, then you are dead wrong my friend.

yeah, what people make songs from samples?


uh. alot of people?
