might be flogging a dead horse here but i've kind of rewoken my interest in using reggae vocals in my tracks. share your knowledge of any free packs out there! i've got this one pack with all the overused "positive vibes" and "haul and pull up" etc samples but is there anything else out for grabs?

let's not narrow it down too much, any free vocal packs would be nice!

do you mean actual full vocals like acappella's or just Caribbean blokes shouting stuff at DJ's?

if it's the latter you could probably just find someone to record you some, at least that way you know they won't be the overused ones.

heard of king tubby or acapellas4u and classic sampled people ie:




use rusko as an example of a sample rinsed by dnb way before dubstep

and ages before


it helps when you listen to the genre you wanna sample
in this case reggae

as i recall duppy man is orig a reggae tune from a prolific artist before the dnb tune just cant remember who

Actually listen to roots reggae. Sample some bits that stick out to you. I guarantee they will be better than any sample pack you could download.
