where do producers get samples ?

[Clubbing Si]

So if I wanted to  have another crack at writing tune...... where can I get access to the countless vocals etc ?

[James]

Here are a couple I've stumbled across ...

• Splice - https://splice.com/features/sounds
• Loopmasters - https://www.loopmasters.com/genres/57-Vocals

[Bushy]

I have a world of old samples and midi files etc. 

I had a mess around a few months ago and knocked together some bits. A couple are on my soundcloud account. Very raw but after a 15 year hiatus what can one expect.....😂😂

I think you follow me Si.

I think splice is a subscription service. Apparently it’s very good and all you would need. But I have never used it.

loopmasters, producerloops And samplemagic are all very good. They all have sales on all of the time so it’s easy to get carried away. My advice would be to get a few packs and really get to know how to process the sounds to make them your own. I probably don’t use over 90% or the samples I have. It’s the same with software, don’t swamp yourself with loads of instruments and plugins. You’ll end up not knowing how to really use any of them to their full potential.

there is also a site where you can get vocalists to provide original vocals for your music for a fee (I think it’s very reasonable). It’s called fiver or something like that. I’ve never used that but sounds like something I will use.

I’ll check out your tracks Bushy 👍 

What do you use to sequence?
