Making refills

My friend just finished a diploma in music technology and his tutor thinks that making re-fills can be like a part time job. Seems like fun to me does anyone do this already?

do sample packs...really making a refill limits the number of your customers...not everyone has a chance to use a refill (not have reason, for example) and thus if you create a sample pack in wav/aiff you'll have a chance to have so much more customers or eventually users who will download it for free...just my 2p

If they're high quality/professional and very user friendly (sorted in a logical, clear manner, loop points assigned if applicable, no huge volume differences between sounds) then you'll find a market for it. There are excellent free refills/ sample packs around, but the commercial products are generally a decent step up, with nowhere near as much filler material just to make the refill/pack look big. The commercial refills/packs are generally big, but they're a consistently high quality throughout. They also tend to be more targeted towards a particular sound/style/concept, rather than being a big grab bag of various sounds.
