the page is in german only (sorry for that...) so here an excerpt:
Mikrofones:
* RFT DM 122 (dynamic spheroid, for acoustic guitars and drums)
* AKG Perception 100 (condenser cardioid for voice, strings, piano,
percussion etc)
* Samson C02 (electret for cynbals and drums)
I have a small collection of lesser mics also but use those quite
seldom. I also use to borrow mikes from friends and colleagues as needed
especially if I run sessions with drummers/complete bands.
Preamps:
* a phonic mixer MM1002 (better than its price suggests ;-)
* a Presonus Firebox (very very OK I dare to say)
Of course the Computers are all GNU/Linux and Ardour, the interfaces are
the Firebox and a MAudio 1024 Audiophile.

This is excellent! Guitars and percussion are among the most needed
samples right now (at least for me). For percussion, there is a good
set of samples and an Hydrogen sound bank made by Marcos Guglielmetti,
but it would be good to have more alternatives.

Many cymbals, 2 snares, 1 bassdrum etc.
I hope, some of these will be helpfull.
For guitars there is
nothing under free licenses (at least that I know of). I would be very
happy to turn your samples into soundfonts :-)
These I made some time ago from a Fender Telecaster:
http://gnupc.de/~zettberlin/law/samples/free/telshow-tele/
the samples are 44.1/16 only and made up to fit my personal needs. That
is: I use them in Specimen to build new virtual instruments, not to
mimic a real guitar (I prefer to play those myself oldschool ;-) ).
Right now I am about to record riffings and other sounds from the metal
domain. Hope I can upload some of those next week.
Repeat: I need
feedback *includig* advice on what I should do better.
What equipment and mics do you have? Well... my suggestion and wishes are samples at the
higher sample rate
and bit depth that your hardware allows, and very long in time (if
possible, the full note decay). It is always easier to downsample and
cut big samples than the opposite.
The uploaded file is 96KHz/32float OK?
To make a drummer play a cymbal and actually *wait* and be quiet till
the decay ends is a different matter though ;-) But most of the samples
should be separate. Some of them have strange resonances in it for we
have recorded in a room with 10 treated pianos. And there may be a
minimum of hiss for we needed to use a very long cable. Hope I can make
some more next week without such (maybe) unwanted extras.At the other
hand these extras add some tasty life to the samples...
Don't bother in cutting the samples, just record
into a big wav file
with all the samples one after another, separated by one or two
seconds of silence.
That helps a lot: if I only need to record one big file and only cut
unneeded silence/noise when changing instruments/microphones/settings,
the recordings will keep coming ;-)
To get an idea of the result, could you please create
a few demo
samples of a clean electric guitar, for example?
OK, I got these:
http://gnupc.de/~zettberlin/law/samples/free/telshow-tele/
I will record some more in the next two weeks...
