Hi people -
Have updated my music / SFX samples links list below
(checked links june 2007). (except for jonas' list that I've added at the end)
Also check out later posts in this thread by MrBong and Declassified, I tried to add them to this first post but hit the word count limit
Finally, check out my 2005 MEGA SOUND LINK list - REDUX! in the Everything Else forum, which contains more resources than just samples (but contains my sections of this post) : http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=38291
Enjoy!
