Hello lists,
I'll release a list with download links on my blog nilsgey.de in the near
future. If the linux audio community has enough webspace we could even
mirror most of them. Part of my mails is always the permission to
redistribute and mirror download. You don't believe how many say "do what
you want with these samples, but you are only allowed to download them
exactly here. If tommorow this website will be gone there is no legal way
to get the samples anymore"
How large is the sample set?
I am interested in providing a library portal for high quality open source
samples specifically catering to Linux applications.
I know there are several sites that provide samples but as far as I know
there is nothing that is targeted directly at Linux Audio Applications.
If there is I see no reason why there cannot be another one too...
I am still collecting, but in the end I would say a lower three digit gigabyte number is
realistic.
But it could be a long process until then.
My free collection now is at 8 or 9 GB or so. But there are zero drum loop waves, the
majority of free and public domain stuff, and I download very few drumkits, which is the
second biggest group.
