Free Sounds and Samples

[jue]

Hello, here are two links to two projects dedicated to free Sounds and Samples:

The Freesound Project is a collaborative database of Creative Commons licensed sounds. Freesound focusses only on sound, not songs.
You can find it here:
http://www.freesound.org/

The sounds found project is a repository of audio recordings from the field. You are free to do with them whatever you desire.
You can find it here:
http://soundsfound.sighup.ca/

If you know more free non commercial projects please post here.

DefEQ

http://www.defeq.com/wp/

Defeq.com is a site dedicated to bringing Ableton Live users a continually expanding collection of exciting new Ableton ‘add-ons’ and educational products. In collaboration with Defeq.com ‘Definition Musik’ parallels this passion for music and technology and strives to bring the community and fans the very latest in contemporary experimental electronic music.

The idea is simple… sharing, education and music, together in an effort to propagate creativity and positivity.

Check this one out, some good sample packs, not only for use in Live...

If you are not aware of KVR (a great site for free plug-in info), one of the users maintains a list of free and legal sample / loop sites that is updated semi-regularly. Some of the older links will no doubt be broken, but there is still plenty of great material to be had:

This is a good one to check out:

750 MB of vintage / classic drum machine hits ... you can't go wrong with that

Peace,
Andy.
