I want to find the best sample kit to buy. Can you tell me your advise on a good sample kit to buy. I'm looking to produce hip hop music 90's beat or crunk or new east coast style.

I really need your advise i'm tired to buy sample kit that was not really good.

Please tell me a good sample kit to buy (drum kit, instrument or sfx ....)

Thank you

if you have to buy those... get the ones that the owner of this site sells... we cont even tell you to buy "so-and-so's" sample kits. that's if you gotta buy kits. I think you should try and sample some drums off records and stuff.

The sample kits I bought from http://www.mpc-samples.com/ are pretty solid (which support this forum, they are very inexpensive, & offer great deals when you buy in packs). Most importantly man, peep out sites that give u free demos of the sounds used in a song (be careful though, sometimes they like to incorporate sounds not used in the sound kit), or let you download some sounds from the sample kitn and see which ones fit you the best.

Also you can try sampling your own sounds from records etc.

Edit: broke a rule with a link :)

Lol, some people may not have the time, or want the put the effort in, I mean I'm sure people love making their kits, but others rather buy their own and get going right away. I don't see anything wrong with that.

Yeah I understand what you mean, but people still like having to pay like 20 bucks here and there to get a bunch of sounds to mess with.

Why pay $20 bucks when you can get those same sounds free on the internet? Trust me those kits you guys buy off ebay or where ever are sounds guys downloaded for free, stacked sounds to create different kits and selling them to lazy producers that can do the same thing. Show some effort! :lol:

For most of us hiphop beatmakers it's not obvious to BUY samples.
For musicians in other genres it's quite normal to BUY sounds. The Akai sound libraries for the S series used to be very popular

I meant from our sister site, I don't have a turn table yet or records so I gotta make due with the sample kits I buy, and I'd never buy samples from eBay.. that just retarded.

Triple, remember, you can sample ANYTHING! (that you can get into the 1/4 jacks) try your radio, try your celphone, try a microphone. sampling is fun as hell. and then you get to chop it all up and turn it into beats.
having a basic kit in there that autoloads is nice for sure, but to really get down (for me) I have to work on a project for a few sessions to really get into it... that's how I like it.

for me, scrolling through a list of samples doesn't inspire like starting from some recorded raw audio.
