r/FreeSounds

v 0.2.0 is now released! the download link is same.

Hi everyone,

After cycling through countless pedalboards and high-end multi-effects units, one question kept haunting me: "Is this actually worth the price?"

Let’s be honest—even the most expensive DSP in a floor unit can’t compete with the processing power of the laptop you probably already own. And while hardware effects are great, they often fall short compared to the high-end plugins we use in the studio.

That’s why I built Effects Canvas.

It’s a free, intuitive VST3 host designed for live use. I’ve just released the beta version and I'd love for you guys to try it out.

Download Here: https://effectscanvas.com/

Key Features:

• Drag & Drop: Load and route any VST3 plugins instantly.
• NAM (Neural Amp Modeler) Support: Fully compatible.
• IR Loading: Use your favorite Impulse Responses.
• MIDI Integration: Connect your MIDI foot controllers easily.
• Versatile: Optimized not just for guitar, but for vocals (Auto-Tune, Comp) and bass as well.

I’ve personally owned the Strymon "Big Three" and the Eventide H90, but in my experience, high-quality plugins win on tone every time.

My Personal Recommendation for a Free Setup:

1. Grab some drive pedals from Tone3000 (they’re great and free).
2. Use the free version of TONEX for amp captures.
3. Load them into Effects Canvas and you’re good to go.

Since this is a beta, there’s no formal tutorial yet, but I’ve designed the UI to be as intuitive as possible.

I’d be incredibly grateful if you could download it and give me some feedback. If you find any bugs or want to reach out for business inquiries, feel free to email me at: contact@effectscanvas.com

Thanks for checking it out!

Hey Hey,

I'm Sönke aka Low Entropy,

And here are a bunch of free sample packs.

Mostly drum centered, mostly around techno-hardcore-gabber. But can be used for pop, vgm, industrial, goth, electro - whatever - too! and a few other sounds are there as well, acid, fx, synths, noises....

And here they are:

https://lowentropy.bandcamp.com/album/low-entropy-sample-pack-2-doomcore-gabber-and-speedcore-bassdrums 

Try that one first. Includes distorted drums that fit to most Hardcore and Techno tracks. An "all-rounder" pack.

https://lowentropy.bandcamp.com/album/160-royalty-free-unusual-drum-samples-for-producing-techno-hardcore-and-more

This one has more experimental, and ultra rough drums (but also softer ones).

For those that want to dry "different" drum sounds.

https://lowentropy.bandcamp.com/album/multi-genre-techno-hardcore-centered-free-sample-pack-drums-synths

This is a bit different. Contains drums, synths, percussion and the rest, for 9 different genres. You can create a whole track just using these patches!

https://lowentropy.bandcamp.com/album/101-royalty-free-909-related-drum-samples

Some fresh samples, for those that like the 909 sound.

https://lowentropy.bandcamp.com/album/low-entropy-sample-pack

This is more loop centered. Also has synths and basslines (and percussion).

https://lowentropy.bandcamp.com/album/123-hardcore-techno-and-gabber-drums-that-were-used-in-the-90s-sample-pack-3

Drums I created in the 90s, used in my tracks. Not just plain 909s but also different sounds.

https://lowentropy.bandcamp.com/album/47-hardcore-techno-and-gabber-drums-that-were-played-in-club-and-squat-parties-sample-pack-4

Drums taken from various tracks I did. Some nasty ones inside!

https://lowentropy.bandcamp.com/album/121-royalty-free-909-related-drum-samples-for-producing-techno-hardcore-and-more

Experimental, and ultra distorted!

License: Feel free to use these samples for any public, private, intimate, or commercial purpose. 

Would be \*very\* cool if you credit me, but it's not strictly necessary.

Background:

I'm a hardcore techno and electronic music producer since 1996.

Played at tresor.berlin and plenty of other places, in front of 1000s of people.

My music got mentioned in most major music magazines.

I ran a radio show here in Hamburg, Germany.

I run 3 labels.

I produced over 3000 tracks. These were released on vinyl, CD, cassette, digital, or elsewise.

I'm an author of several e-books on hardcore, culture and politics.

Etc etc

Like most Hardcore producers, I am addicted to bass drums! 

And I hope to give something back to new or other producers with these sample packs.

A lot of these drums have been "party approved" and been played be me or other DJs at clubs or squat parties.

So:

Feel free to download these free sample packs, and create your own tracks.

Enjoy!
