I am aware that many of you know from where to get royalty-free samples. Also, I know that many will say that they do not agree to buy sound libraries – because they create their own sounds, but ultimately, some of the best producers use commercial sample packs. Why? Because they help you to save your time and gives you the necessary inspiration to come up with something new & fresh all the time! – Behind these sample packs are whole teams of professionals working to create new sounds and to keep up with the last demands in the music industry.

Below you will find my list of the best websites from where you can buy & download high-quality royalty-free audio loops and samples, presets for synths such as NI Massive, Serum, Sylenth1, MIDI files, DAW Templates, Maschine kits, and much more. The styles are varied: from EDM, Hip-Hop, House, Techno, Trance, Dubstep to Jazz, Rock, Reggae, and more.

You’ll be surprised to find sample packs produced by well-known artists and producers like David Guetta, Icicle, Hardwell, Carl Cox, Reso, Mutated Forms, Mike Vale, Deadmau5, Re-Zone, and more.

All products provided on these websites are “Royalty-Free”. That means you can use all these samples in any musical project, be it personal or commercial – no extra costs in the future.
