Post links to your favorite sample resources.
Don't post:
- Movie/TV/Cartoon/VG speech or sfx
- Silly sound effects
- Drum Loops
- Huge random libraries like http://www.freesound.org/ *)
- Stuff that Google spits out by the million
(Don't get me wrong, all that can be pretty useful, but is ultimately easy to find)
- Memes, unhelpful comments
*) If you find something noteworthy inside a random archive, post it. Just don't link the whole thing.
Do post:
- Single hit (clean) oldskool synths, toys and drums
- Outlandish and interesting things
- VGM instruments are ok
- Specialized libraries
- Stuff you had to dig for
(Think of it as the internet user's equivalent of crate digging)
Essentially we're looking for things that are either good for universal use or make great one-shots
