Thought this would be a good thread to start.
Time to spill it folks... where do you get your favorite samples from?
Drums?
Hats?
kicks?
Synth sounds?
I've been digging some of the sounds from the GoldBaby Tape Drums collections lately. I also like the Vengeance FX series for random sounds to chop up.

Using the Vengeance stuff of course..Goldbaby is getting use as well. For an all arounder the Battery 3 library is pretty chock full of any kind of drum sound you could want, especially the more esoteric stuff. Hats are hard to find nice samples of as most drum machine style sample cds have hats that are too sharp and quick sounding. The battery library has some nicer full acoustic ones though. My prized sample is the Adern kick drum I made, solves all my kick issues. I also like to grab samples from older 80's tracks for some nice warm drums.
Synthwise I dont take too many samples unless its an old stab or something.

Any chance in sharing that kick with a brother?!?
Addictive Drums and Easy Drummer have been doing it for me nowadays. Also like Jesse said, the Battery 3 Library is on point

Yeah, Loopmasters has some decent stuff. Vengeance of course....Best Service, Big Fish Audio. And on occasion, VIP Zone and Zero-G. Although VIP Zone tends to stick with loops.
For some VOX, I just picked up Midimark's Vocal Bytes 2. I was impressed, so will buy 1 & 3.

Interesting. I've always struggled to find good vocal samples. What sort of samples are included?

house definition, vegence, battery 3 - now that Jesse turned me on to it, BFD.
HH's are a bitch to find decent. I really need to get samples of mine and play with them. i've got vintage Zildjans, newer Zildjans and Sabians. Plus i've got 5 different kits i should sample, Sonor, DW, Pearl, Ludwig and Yamaha.

Yeah, freesound is a great place. There's a lot to wade through, but you can really find some gems. And their setup is user friendly too. I'd recommend them all the way.
