SampleRadar: 500 free industrial samples
SampleRadar hasn't done a day's manual labour in its life - it's every inch the delicate-skinned desk jockey - but that doesn't mean that it can't appreciate the value in a bit of industrial noise.
And that's precisely what's on offer in this week's collection: we hope you find these samples suitably nasty and in-yer-face, but if not, just distort them some more.
What you need to know
The samples are split into five tempo-labelled construction kits, each of which contains loops, hits and multisamples.
All the samples are supplied as 24-bit WAV files so can be imported directly into your DAW or sampler of choice. Because they're royalty-free, you're welcome to use the samples in your music in any way you like - all we ask is that you don't re-distribute them.
The retro video game samples are supplied in a zip file, so you'll need to extract them before you can see them. Enjoy!
Example sounds
