- I've found that it helps if you snatch your basic sounds (synth noises, drums)
- from other mods and the packed sample collections that are available on
- ftp sites. Then for the rest of the stuff like beat loops and vocal cuts,
- you can sample those yourself. Listen to everything you can, buy cheap
- records, tape off the radio, sample anything interesting.
-
- Most sequencers also come with samples on the distribution disks, which
- can get you set up with basic sounds.
-
- College radio or other non-commercial stations are great for getting
- samples 'cause they usually have different specialty shows playing obscure
- music. Check out jazz, dance, and urban conteporary shows... and the punk
- shows will be a good source for vocal cuts.
-
- There are also commercial albums you can buy with sounds and beats on 'em, but tthey're usually pretty expensive.
