you need to edit the first post & switch the language to english thomas mate

it automatically changes to Deutsch when you edit any first post unless you remember to re-check the required language box/radial thingy.

I will link this thread in the sticky topics wiki page

anyway remembered a really nice free sample blog by cyberworm which used to be featured on drumnbass.be @ rhythm-lab.com.

lot of free sound fx, drum breaks, pads & so on from all kinds of hardware/software.

even some virus access ti samples which are bloody great

I just added some more sound archives...

Sounds:

Very helpfull, but you have to do the querry in german:
Hörspielbox
(Try for example typing "wasser", water, in the search bar)

Worldtune has originally the same concept as a "webcam" - broadcasting local sounds worldwide. But they have also huge archive of worldwide field recordings:
WorldTune

@fantozzi:
i'm not sure, if i or u are wrong, but this is a thread for free stuff. easy to find is not the same like free stuff. and the google picture search results are mostly not free to use in a commercial project due to copyright restrictions.

The Hörspielbox, i'm not sure. i have to read their terms of trade.
But nobody should use google search pictures in any self created project.
