Feed Your Sampler!

You know it's hungry...

My sampler of choice is the aptly named "Sampler" that comes included with the Suite version of Ableton Live. It's interface gives new meaning to the word "streamlined" and thereby alleviates the sort of interfacing-intimidation/dread aroused by a beast like NI's Kontakt (though purely in terms of bundled library content, Kontakt is the easy winner). But a sampler is just an empty shell waiting for material to mangle...and on that note I thought I'd share a few websites/archives that have proved invaluable in bolstering my (already extensive) sample library.

There's a gamut of sample archives out there among the interwebs, but I chose these three specifically because they have loads of content, it's all free (with one minor exception*) and the quality is generally quite good to really great. If you fish around enough, you might even stumble upon some of the movie/radio/tv voice samples that appear in a handful of DWIH tracks...

*The KB6 drum archive asks for a donation before for all of the site's content becomes available, and I can verify that it's safe+secure (and worth it).
