The free audio resources directory

[Slipstreamer]

So, all the time I see people making new threads asking for free samples or VSTs...
Well now when some one asks, you can link them here.
Below are some of the best freeware VST and sample sites on the web.
Also, if you have any links to sites with free VSTs or samples to add feel free to post them.

Free VST sites: (note that all most all of these have on samples too)

Let me know if anyone needs a mirror or proxy for any of those links. Also sorry for double linking if I did.

I'm pretty sure someone has made something like this before but it was never used to link newbies to when they needed samples.

More awesome VSTs

[sorohanro]

Newgrounds forum threads about:
- Free Drum VSTi
- Best Free VST Effects
this is how I see that should be made a thread about stuff, with informations, reviews after using a program, screenshots, compatibility with DAW's and overall impressions...
Probably the most important resource is THIS...

[Slipstreamer]

Yeah I see what your saying.
Like maybe review the best of the free VSTs and sample kits, and have something like

This vst-

-review
-screenshot
-rating?

That would be a neat thread.

Yep, I guess so. Even without screenshots would be ok, taking less space :))
Or at least when people post some links, they should write what is there and what to expect.

Audio Tuts - Music production related tutorials, all programs (from FL to Logic), recording techniques, effects patching and a lot more.

[sorohanro]

Two sites for free sounds/ loops and effects.

Check their forum, nice contests going on sometimes.
