The BIG sample site list

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=3829 1

Enjoy!

Thanx!

What Gridlocked said!

Tom

thanks pantsdown666, this is GREAT, thank you for sharing.

BTW do you have a nickname we could call you?
Sometimes it seems so formal to write your whole name out.

I've thought of trying "thanks pants" but it still didn't sound right.

ahhh. . . kvr

No, you have to say "thanks pants"
Pants - Pantsdown - Simon - any will do

Wow! This should keep me busy for a few years.

Thank you!

Just a *bump* if u missed it

thanks simon,
I know this was quite a bit
of work, just in checking the links
much less gathering it
all.

thanks

Awsome, thanks.

Just in time, I did a big search on google for free loopst today, but this is impressive.

Everything seems to be there.

THAAAANKS!!

This deserves to be a sticky
Thanks Simon
