Help Me Establish a Nice Sound Library!

[ncocs]

I would really appreciate people helping me get soundfonts, vst's, etc. for my computer. I want to establish a nice sound library so I can put together nice remixes. And don't tell me to learn synthesis. I want pre-made sounds.

Are you partial to a specific genre and are we talking free or premium libraries and samples?

I'm far from creating a great mix, but I know some libraries that I think are ultra coolio. If you like Electronic/Trance, Nexus and Vanguard are awesome. If your budget is restricted, Camel Audio has some nice stuff but I find the variety a little lacking.

There's a ton of free suggestions in this thread: http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=4556

Library building takes patience IMO

I'm working with free stuff. I really want metroid sounds. But any other game would be fine. It actually doesn't even have to be from a game at all.

I see. Well like I said, there's 11 pages of free material suggestions in that thread. People seem to usually respond to specific requests there too.

There's a free VSTi synth out there called Oatmeal that has a randomization function in it, which basically leads to near-infinite presets. It's got some decent sounds and I've used it to make Metroid-y synths to pretty good effect. Check it out, although I really would recommend learning some stuff about synthesis. 99% of the sounds you are trying to recreate weren't made with samples, but were synthesized from scratch, so you'll have better results learning how that was done.

After finishing today's lesson with Rozovian, I feel confident in my Synthesis abilities, requiring that this thread be closed. Thanks for the advice though.
