    free to use doesn't mean u won't pay something. Most developers suggest a donation, but if you just want to test it you can get it without paying and infringing any law. But if you are using something regularly you could consider to support developers... There are some companies giving it for commercial purposes. For example i got "little clipper" from Boz and was so satisfied i ended buying "Big clipper"...

    Oculus Audio Pack 1

    Oculus Audio Pack 1 1.0

    The Audio Pack is an archive of WAV audio files provided as a convenience for application developers. It includes a variety of sounds including weather, animal sounds, human vocals, creepy atmospheric noises, UI interaction feedback, doors, musical cues, laser blasts, and more.

    All files are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License. See the included License.txt for more information.

    Oculus Audio SDK Plugins

    Oculus’ Audio SDK is now officially out of beta, giving developers a range of audio spatialization plugins for Unity, Unreal Engine, and audio middleware along with a free library of over 500 high-quality sound effects designed by Oculus specifically for use in VR.

    Developers looking to integrate 3D audio into their games and applications on PC and mobile now have a few more tools to add to the mix, with the new full release supporting spatialization and environment modeling for the upcoming Oculus Rift, Oculus DK2, and Samsung Gear VR.

    Among support for Unreal Engine and now Unity 5 with their Oculus Native Spatializer, an add-on plugin for Unity that spatializes monophonic sound in 3D relative to the user’s head location, the new Audio SDK supports audio middleware like FMOD and Wwise, an AAX plugin for Avid’s Pro Tools, and a VST plugin for Windows and OS X. You can see a full overview and installation guide to each plugin in Oculus’ Introduction to Virtual Audio.

    “Audiokinetic Wwise has helped us create benchmark VR audio experiences for our developers and the world,” explained Brian Hook, head of audio at Oculus. “By supporting them and other key audio middleware companies, the transition from traditional game audio to high-quality VR audio is as seamless as possible for many companies.”

    Download Oculus Audio SDK Plugins

    Devs looking for a helping hand can download the Oculus Audio Pack, that contains everything from nasty blood squishes to jangly keys unlocking doors—the sort of small touches that can turn an aseptic, sterile environment into something with a little life.

    BBC Sound Effects

    These 16,000 BBC Sound Effects are made available by the BBC in WAV format to download for use under the terms of the RemArc Licence. The Sound Effects are BBC copyright, but they may be used for personal, educational or research purposes, as detailed in the license.

    *** BBC recently opened up their sound archive to the public. There are sounds that go all the way back to early 20th century. Some really good s*** in here. A bit tedious to download each file separately and rename each one, but I think it's worth it - just know when you've had enough, and continue downloading another day.

    KARORYFER SAMPLES
    Gogodze Phu Vol I

    [​IMG]
    2018

    [​IMG] Ten utwór jest dostępny na licencji Creative Commons Uznanie autorstwa 4.0 Międzynarodowe.

    Gogodze is a West African dance, music for that dance and drums used to play that music that some people still remember, but it's fading into the mists of history. Phu means bones, but sounds similar to vu, which means drums. So, the Gogodze Phu series is our collection of the ghosts and bones of traditional percussion from across the world. This first volume contains samples of five bobobo drums from Ghana - a set of peg-tuned drums in five sizes - and a cajon recorded in Poland.

    The bobobo drums have one articulation recorded for the bass drum, and two articulations for the others. The volume and pan controls are obvious in their function. The tune controls have a one-octave range both down and up. The mute controls simulate muting using a sample offset. Finally, the tune spread control tunes the lower drums slightly down and higher drums slightly up.

    The cajon is sampled with regular hits in five strike locations, plus two types of side hits, two strike locations with the snare removed (for a conga-like sound) and finally finger rolls. The finger rolls work not by hitting the key, but by holding it down for as long as the roll should last, and they have a dynamics control which affects volume, plus a location control which crossfades between finger rolls near the center and near the top. There's also a contrast control, which makes the rear mic slightly more prominent on more central hits, and the front mic on edge hits, which makes the difference between "kick" and "snare" sounds on the cajon a little bigger.

    There are a total of 544 WAV samples, and the library takes up 90 MB of diskspace.

    Gogodze Phu Vol I requires Plogue Sforzando version 1.933 or newer. Free download, open source and royalty-free for all commercial and non-commercial use, including conversion into other sampler formats and redistribution as part of larger sample libraries.

    DC1A
    effortless character comp
    [​IMG]
    DC1A is the little brother of the compression monster DC8C. I've taken a few of my favorite settings from DC8C and tried to make it work in a two control context. Sound wise it's comparable to the PUNCH mode in DC8Cbut offers a few additional features, such as negative ratio and stereo unlink. I've always wanted to do a compressor with just an input and output knob, a compressor that just works: gentle, faithful, from almost invisible, smooth leveling to heavy pumping with a nice crunchy saturation and punchy enough to treat drums with.
    DC1A looks like a one trick pony. But don't get fooled by the lack of additional controls. You may be surprised on how many different material this little thing works. DC1A has a few tricks up its sleeve: negative (over) compression, parallel (New York style) compression, option to compress left and right channel independently (via the DUAL MONO switch), peak and RMS compression (RELAXED switch on) and DEEP activates a high pass filter to reduce pumping on bass heavy material

    DC1A is free! So try it out for yourself.

    Download DC1A 3:

    Windows:

    Win Installer

    Mac OSX:
    Mac Installer

    Wanna check the system requirements? Go to the FAQ section

    Note: Since DC1A 3 has a new plugin ID and filename, you can use the original DC1A 2 and the new one at the same time. You can still download the older versions here

    FORMED
    FLINTPOPE DECEMBER 11, 2017 3 COMMENTS
    [​IMG]

    The “FORMED” VST/AU takes its inspiration from Native Instruments FORM.

    See the FORMED video below
    Flintpope used this radical Reaktor-based synth to create twelve unusual pad sounds that are long, evolving and occasionally surprising. If you like adding sounds to your tracks that are off the usual spectrum you may like these. Or you may just hate them.

    Flintpope offers the FORMED plugin as “pay whatever price you want including free” so why not take a risk on something that maybe outside your comfort zone?

    You will probably love it!

    Use multiple instances of the FORMED VST/AU for interesting textures in your music. Hold down the sounds to find out what’s going on later. They are not always what they seem.

    PLEASE NOTE THERE IS NO FACILITY TO AUTOMATE PARAMETERS VIA MIDI OR TO CONTROL DIALS VIA YOUR DAW. However, changes to parameters made “by hand” in an instance of this instrument can be saved in your DAW (e.g. in Ableton “save live set as…”)

    MOLEKULES VST/AU
    FLINTPOPE NOVEMBER 30, 2017 6 COMMENTS
    [​IMG]

    Introducing MOLEKULES VST/AU rompler for Windows and Mac, with ten presets for sound-scape creators in any DAW.
    A free (OR MAKE A DONATION) pack of ten passive/aggressive sounds created by playing a piano sample at C3 into Native Instruments MOLEKULAR and recording the results.

    MOLEKULAR is a highly versatile modular effects rack that produces movement in the sound – very useful if you need long and evolving pads that can sometimes take you by surprise. Who wants a lush Juno pad all the time anyway? Everyone else but you!

    MOLEKULAR is also good at creating harsh environments as well as beautiful chasms of sound. You almost never hear the original piano sample but it lends its own sonic richness to the end-result.

    MOLEKULES VST/AU CONTROLS
    PRESETS: The ten sounds are accessed via a drop-down list opened by clicking on the initial preset “Atmos”

    Master controls are Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release, Pan and Gain. There is an LFO with separate controls for Rate, Depth, Waveform and Destination (try Expression as a Destination for peculiar results). There are two FX: Reverb and Pitch-shift.

    PLEASE NOTE THERE IS NO FACILITY TO AUTOMATE PARAMETERS VIA MIDI OR TO CONTROL DIALS VIA YOUR DAW. However, changes to parameters made “by hand” in an instance of this instrument can be saved in your DAW (e.g. in Ableton “save live set as…”)

    The download zip contains separate versions depending on which system you use. Just use the right one!

    Go DARK
    FLINTPOPE NOVEMBER 22, 2017 4 COMMENTS
    [​IMG]

    DARK is a FREE VST/AU for creating and playing rich, dark pads.
    YOU GET eight Flintpope samples, all chosen for sonic richness, and for their suggestion of a darker space in your music. Any one sample on its own works nicely, but you can go on to mix different combinations of sounds to create up to 64 different variations.

    Owners of Flintpope Palette will be familiar with the process here but please note all the DARK samples are new.

    DARK has a very small screen-footprint so you can use multiple instances and STILL see your DAW! How many can you open before you blot out Ableton?

    PALETTE VST/AU
    FLINTPOPE NOVEMBER 12, 2017 11 COMMENTS


    [​IMG]Palette is a VST/AU for creating and playing rich, evolving pads on Mac and Windows platforms.

    Inspired by the look of a paintbox there are eight coloured rectangles. Each one is a trigger for a sample. The colour changes to red to let you know which ones are in use.There are eight Flintpope samples, all chosen for sonic richness, depth and atmosphere. Any one sample on its own is a fine pad, but you can go on to mix different combinations of sounds to create up to 64 different variations.

    CONTROLS

    Each pad has a dedicated Gain and Pan dial.

    Master controls are Attack, Release and Master Volume. There is an LFO with separate controls for Rate, Depth, Waveform, Destination and Source (try Expression as a Destination for peculiar results). There is a three-option Voice Mode with a Glide dial for mono and legato settings. There is a two-option Filter with Cutoff dial. Finally there are three FX: Vinyl, Reverb and Pitch-shift.

    PLEASE NOTE THERE IS NO FACILITY TO AUTOMATE PARAMETERS VIA MIDI OR TO CONTROL DIALS VIA YOUR DAW. However, changes to parameters made “by hand” in an instance of this instrument can be saved in your DAW (e.g. in Ableton “save live set as…”)

    SampleRadar: 345 free Afrobeat samples


    By The MusicRadar team February 04, 2011Tech

    [​IMG]
    Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti
    (Image: © Sophie Elbaz/Sygma/Corbis)

    Hailing from Africa in the '70s and christened by Fela Kuti, the infectious sound of Afrobeat combines elements of jazz, funk and traditional Nigerian music.

    The likes of Talking Heads, TV On The Radio and Vampire Weekend have all been influenced by the genre, and now it's making its presence felt on SampleRadar.

    What you need to know
    The samples are split into three construction kits of different tempi (105, 110 and 118bpm). These contain drum, bass, guitar, keyboard and percussion loops.

    All the samples are supplied as WAV files so can be imported directly into your DAW or sampler of choice. Because they're royalty-free, you're welcome to use the samples in your music in any way you like - all we ask is that you don't re-distribute them.

    The Afrobeat samples are supplied in a zip file, so you'll need to extract them before you can see them. Enjoy!

    Example sounds
    Drums 110bpm

    Afrobeat samples (159MB)

    These samples originally appeared on Future Music magazine's cover DVD. Check out the latest issue for many more.
