YOU SUCK AT PRODUCING is a music production channel infused with the dark humour of It’s Always Sunny - one of the most imaginative and to the point production channels out there.Ĭreator ‘Underbelly’ covers a vast array of practical production topics music theory, mix advice, arrangement tricks and hidden uses of Ableton’s stock plugins, making each principle stick with his macabre metaphors. There have been quite a few times where a track I was working on just had that something missing, only to be instantly saved by substituting the existing drums samples with some of theirs.Ĭloud-based collaboration platform SPLICE also contains some incredible free sample packs. Their drum and percussion samples are of an incredibly high calibre.

Sample pack and preset creators CYMATICS.FM are highly in-tune with what production styles are most in demand amongst music producers at the moment, with packs ranging from warm lofi jazz to earth shattering 808s.

You can also bypass the sample packs completely and simply search for individual samples by key signature, BPM, genre and instrument, which is very useful if you just want to find a nice vocal sample to add as a finishing touch to your track. The sample packs themselves range from rich sonic themes such as dark cinematic ‘Italian Thriller Toolkit’ by Giovanni Rotando, to nice and straightforward curated selections such as the ‘50 Best Kick Samples’. However, it also functions as a goldmine for producers, as it contains a huge collection of completely free sample packs. LANDR is an online music software for creators, providing mastering and distribution services. This unique bank of Creative Commons licenced sounds contains a vast array of field recordings from all over the planet, alongside a thoroughly unique selection of sound effects and samples. FREESOUND is the vintage flea market of sample banks – it is a glorious treasure trove containing everything from 80s style Halloween sound effects to haunting recordings of traditional Middle Eastern vocals.
