I just stumbled across the following free, royalty-free samples, and want to share.

Actually, I haven't sampled (pun intended) them yet, as I only have dialup, and the file sizes are rather large. I'm scheduled to get DSL in less than a week. My wife will be so happy, as I've been tying up the phone way too much!

If anyone is looking for some royalty-free samples to download, I have made a big batch available as 24bit 48kHz or 16bit 44kHz files;
MMWCassignment1audio is 20 wav files ranging from percussion loops and bass and key loops to field recording loops and fx loops and hits; MMWCassignment2audio is 30 field recording and FX loops and hits; the MMWC zips are files I've made for the Making Music With Computers course on sound design and production I teach at the Nova Scotia Community College (Institute Of Technology) here in Halifax (http://andrew-duke.com/course.html if you're interested in finding out more); the newly re-available FXlimited is now *65* field recordings and FX loops and hits. (Bought some extra server space, thus have room for these again). These are free to do with whatever you wish, just please let me know if you use 'em for anything.

If you like the above, please check out: Andrew Duke's Sonic Atmospheres 1 http://www.audiobase.com/product/SACR
This downloadable samplepack contains 606 files (450 loops plus 156 hits) of exclusive
FX material in your choice of AIFF or Apple Loops format (both at 24bit 48kHz).
