Loops are cool every now and again. They do take some of the fun out of producing and being creative. It's much more inspiring to come up with your own original drum loop.

yes indeed

Hey,

I bought the Vengeance series myself as well, but the fact that a lot of samples already have effects on them bothers me.

I released my own sample packs not so long ago, because I wanted to have dry, one-shot samples packs that could be of direct use to me. Check it out if you're interested!

+1 I got your bank, it's a quality set of sounds.

I've heard that the Sounds of Revolution - Club Revolution set is good also.

Thomas Penton and Icones packs are the best I've heard.

That's to be short and simple. That answer it for ya?

Pentons samples were useless to me. Whats with the excessive limiting on every hit? It gives me no room to work on transients as there isn't none! They also sound pretty dated as well. loads of processed 909 style hits etc.

they are pretty dated, just gotta transform it into something else. You're right on that there isn't much transients on them, but they're not there to sound like super punchy kicks (at least most of them). I just layered extra sounds on the beat to achieve the sound I wanted. But for me, they were the best and almost always my first choice of samples to go to.
