I recently had my main hardrive crash on me & I lost all of my samples. I can't begin to remember what sample packs I had on there, but I'm wanting to restock them. Can anyone recommend any good sample packs that are worth having? I mainly make hip-hop, pop, rock & orchestral, so I don't want anything that sounds remotely like EDM.

 

Hi Onesimpleclik,

Loops? One Shot?
Everything that comes from Drum Broker worth it (Hip-Hop beats, Breaks, modern or vintage/old School).

Peace.

 

you could have a look here too.

you should always have a backup hard drive and burn your stuff to disk as well 10c a disk is not much.
i think most of us go true this once its called learing the hard way ,

 

damage kontakt lib.

 

You may be able to recover most, if not all, of the stuff on your crashed drive - there are many recovery software programs on the market which can do this.

 

My deepest condolences, onesimpleclik.

This reminded me that I don't have a backup of all the samples I use. Always have a backup. Recovery software only works when HD is not completely screwed.

I can pretty much recommend only Big Fish Audio and Wave Alchemy sample libraries.

Cheers!

 

There's no such a thing as a screwed HD... assuming you are willing to pay the price.
Some forensic companies will be able to recover all your HD in almost 100% of the cases but the only drawback will be the cost.

It's up to you to consider if it's worth it.

there are a few more topics posted on audiosex that should help you out if it still works,

 

The HDD had a mechanical fault, so I'm not willing to pay for a recovery.
I'll check out all of the suggestions, i'm mainly loosing for One-Shots, I don't like using loops.
Thanks everyone
