I’m not sure if this is better off in GQ, Cafe Soc, or here but I’m hoping there are others with similar interests who will help me out. Here goes:
I’m getting interested in making music using live instruments and my computer. I’ve got (what I feel is) the essential software, but what I’m looking for now are samples. I mostly need drum loops, but I wouldn’t mind some other stuff like bass or synthy-type sounds. Here’s the catch – I’d rather not pay for it. Searching with google, I’ve found lots of sites which have exactly what I’m looking for, but they all ask for it to be purchased, usually on a cd. I know I’m cheap, and I’m tryin to get somethin’ for nothin’.
Anyone out there do this stuff? Where do you get your loops? My aim is for anything from hip-hop to techno. Know of any good (free) sites?
