    It deserves its own page for sure.
    I find the images generally annoying, often disgusting so I use Audioz Post Filter which shoves everything I keyword to the bottom of the page. There I can see them in a list without images and scrolling. It's a userscript that was posted here. Runs in Greasemonkey or TamperMonkey.

    Saves az some bandwidth.

    Now she doesn't answer my calls

    Fuck it, worth it! :rofl::rofl::rofl:

    ...When a lot of sample packs appear out of nowhere, you have to dig deep because interesting surprises are often buried underneath :)

    i have RSS feedreader setup, when i have time i check it on the phone or it shows up in my browser as notification. Feel not a single bit sick of it. If you dont need it, just ignore it.

    I personally don't ever use sample packs at all. But some do, so it doesn't bother me that they're uploaded. That said, I wonder who is using fart loops and church sounds, but whatever floats your boat!

    it is pretty funny when they upload pirated Gospel music stuff. Well, I can at least appreciate the irony.

    Personally, I am just running low on hihat midi patterns.

    I wish sample packs went into their own tab/page. I'd still look through it from time to time, but the sheer volume of them can be really irritating sometimes. No one needs ten thousand 808 samples.

    I think complaining about the availability content is not cool. Shows how spoiled users have become.

    But overall, the sister site has become less significant and attractive to me because:

    a) too many low quality releases (and that's why all these cringe sample packs are bubbling up now)
    b) too many people trying to benefit from uploading freeware,
    c) macOS support is on the decline,
    d) most links are either katfile or rapidgator. I can't download from them at reasonable speeds and premium link generators don't work. But nobody seems to care.

    So I stopped caring as well and just started buying the stuff I want. Why would I need a warez site with unattractive file hosts if I can get the SSL Native Channelstrip 2 for less than 50 $?! LOL

    Wading through crap content is the basis of crate digging. You young fellas have it easy. Too much choice. Too many sample packs, too many VST's. I was out every weekend looking for sampler food for my next Epic track.
    Too much assembly editing with chord generators, AI-assisted algorithmic nonsense rather than actual creative sound design, programming, musicianship, presets, arrangement, composition and songwriting.
    Sample Cd's (old school) and records were the go-to, now it's all curated and people are complaining about wading through "too much" content? First world problems
    Most DAWS have pretty much all you need now, just add sound design food for manipulation, wrangling and reprocessing/purposing.
    I don't get this post, what am I missing? Am I complaining about myself again? Is there a sample pack for that ?

    I am not interested. I actually just use the sister site to see what the latest posts are in this forum.

    Just ordered one of these for my S3200 to get it back in my workflow

    Then I'm going to chuck one in the W30 Bit more limited in the use of content which is a good thing

    I think we kinda learn how to identify whats interesting and whats not interesting. Like... I can identify a generic trap/flstudio/type beat, etc sample pack just from the front picture. So the times I've been surprised were few and the times I actually found interesting packs were also few, last time I was surprised was with one of the Beat Butcha's packs, actually thought it would be another type beat garbage but turns out it was actually an awesome one-shot sample pack.
