5 Awsome sample packs

Posted on 13. Jul, 2011 by in Cool Reads

Sample packs are getting used more and more rather than alot of producers crafting everything from scratch. Lots of packs are being used to create big music hits, a recent example of this was the track KNAS by Steve Angello where it’s main hook comes from a loop bundled in a vegeance pack. Is that right or wrong? At the end of the day the packs are designed and created for this sole purpose! Here are 5 awsome sample packs that contain a huge variety of different sounds and loops to aid you in your music production and most of all, spark your creativity!

Note: These are in no particular order.

1. Vengeance Collections

Vengeance Sounds

If you’re already familiar with making music, particularly electronic dance music you must of been living under a rock for the past 5 years not to know of these but if you’re new, this is the discovery of the century! Vengeance sounds have been making sample packs and sound banks which has essentially sculpted the sound of electronic music today. They create and supply a range of different packs each catered for different styles of music with sounds consisting of bassline hits, synth hits, Noise & FX, drum loops and percussion. If you need some sounds to get started, pay them a visit!

2. Thomas Penton Complete Essential Series

Now this is a pack that was a secret little gem of mine, until now! Thomas Penton has crafted some really edgy clean drum loops that suite really well in a variety of genres especially house music. Including tribal, tech and well stereo panned sounds which add alot of depth to your percussion sounds. Definitely one to add to your hard drives!

3. Freshly Squeezed Samples

Freshly Squeezed Samples

 

 

Freshly Squeeze Samples is a company that I only heard about recently. They create and provide sound banks for synthesizers and FX Packs. I recently tried the Essentials soundbank for the popular softsynth, Sylenth1. What they’ve managed to squeeze out the synth is fantastic, with warm sharp sounds of basslines, pads, plucks and FX. You can use their sounds in pretty much any genre, opening more of your creative doors.

Price Range: £20-£50 per sound library.

4. MyLoops

MyLoops

 

 

 

 

One of my favourite packs for pure FX is provided by MyLoops. They make a nice range of different packs for FX, Melodies and Loops. One of the great thing about the myloops bundles is they also supply MIDI with alot of their packs so you can understand the arranngement of the chords and melodies they supply in their packs, thumbs up from me!

Price Range: €30 (average) per libary

4. Rise Push Button FX

Rise Push Button Bang FX

 

 

 

 

 

This is one of my favourite packs for adding that wow factor of dynamics to your music and DJ sets. One of the great features of this pack is it contains really cool transitional sounds, perfect for edgy fills and buildups. They pan left and right harnessing the full power of stereo audio. Have a listen to the sample and prepare to be amazed!

    @dj triparound: you’re right man!

    all those vocals are on “Vengeance Vocal Essentials 1″ (found this link here: http://waveformless.blogspot.com/2009/05/is-vengeance-selling-stolen-samples.html )

    i don’t think that the vocals are cleared by vengeance… so you can get in big trouble if using the public enemy vocals without permisson etc.

    After reading your blog post I browsed your website a bit and noticed you aren’t ranking nearly as well in Google as you could be. I possess a handful of blogs myself and I think you should take a look here: http://dominateseowithwordpress.com You’ll find it’s a very nice tool that can bring you a lot more visitors. Keep up the quality posts

    soooooo….. noob question here, but if i were to buy say a vengeance pack and found a loop i really liked that came with the pack and used it in a song i’m making and plan to put on youtube would that be classified as some sort of copyright? or no because i payed for the pack with my own money. or is it only fine if i add some sort of effect to change the loops sound in some way(like add reverb to make it my own sound)

    Nope. The packs are designed purely for personal and commercial work. So the straight answer is, yes you can! They’re royaltie free.
