Read the stickies dude, there is plenty up top.

You will get lynched on here for not searching the stickies

Where to find these good samples?
Veng. Essent. Club Sounds 1 & 2 are old today, aren't they?

It does not matter if they are old or not dude, a good source sound is paramount

No, dammit, you can't use samples over 2 months old. They are just sooo played out.

You can start re-using them a year or two later and call them classics, though.

buy tight punchy kick samples! or rip them from tracks..

as was dicussed in another recent thread, VEC or a bit dated, and over processed but there are still some deadly kicks in there. get VEC 2 and use the UK trance Kicks . theres some nice stuff in there

tight, punchy, but maybe not that powerful...

I'll take the opportunity of this thread to ask a noobish question :

In Acperience 1 by Hardfloor, the initial kick line goes like

x---x---x---x--xx---x---x---x

It is then repeated, but the kick is more wet, more "deep" I would say...

How is this effect obtained ?
