Recommended world music sound packs?

[GarretGraves]

Well, it's that time again. Looking to spend some clams on yet another sound library.

Now, I'm guessing the genre I'm referring to is called "world music" because that's all I ever here it called. With instruments like pan flutes and taiko drums and what not. Even hammer dulcimers or lutes. I could really use a library of instruments like that. Anyone have any recommendations? Don't worry about price at the moment.

Thanks I greatly appreciate it!

i like tonehammer a lot. i dont know if they have the exact instruments you mentioned, but they do have a lot of really neat stuff.

Oh very nice! And I like how you can order the instruments individually! That cuts down on price a lot! Thanks for that!

Yeah I dont really see a hammer dulcimer here though. That's one of the main ones im looking for. But this still helps out a GREAT deal. thanks!

If you want TAIKOs, check out 9volt Audio's Stick Breakers Vol 2 Ten Man Taiko, and their TAIKO library, both great and complimentary libraries. They're also coming out with a Shime-Daiko library as well.

Oh man that Koto Nation sounds sweet. I already got Groove Bias, Sitar Nation and impact steel from these guys! I love impact soundworks!

It's hard to go past Quantum Leap's RA for this type of thing. I've used it on quite a lot of game soundtracks (I'd be lost without it, to be honest) and I heartily recommend it.

RA is great.

for ethnic instrumentation in general, i use a lot of ueberschall's The Resource packs. pretty much everything they make is gold, but there's a LOT of good loops in there that are very flexible.
