DOWNLOAD THE LATEST

A properly open source, crowd sourced, free, royalty-free, attribution-free sample pack, optimized for the common use-cases and a relatively small download size.

Stargate DAW projects bundle the samples they use, but nearly all sample packs either do not allow redistributing samples, or have vague licensing that makes distributing samples questionable or difficult. This sample pack aims to create high quality samples, for free, that can be used by anybody for any purpose, without restriction.

Contributing

You can synthesize, record and process samples in Stargate DAW or any other software, as long as it is not playing samples. For example, you cannot render the samples directly out of a proprietary sampler plugin with proprietary sample libraries.

Guidelines:

  • Please trim the excess space from the beginning and end of the samples to keep the file size to a minimum. Once you have a collection of samples, create a subfolder in the following format:
  • Avoid the use of whitespace in file or folder names, dashes are preferred, underscores are also acceptable
  • Do not sample from copyrighted songs, TV or any other copyrighted work
  • Please keep the quality high, take the extra time to EQ, trim and process the samples as many times as needed to get the desired sound. Considering filtering off excessive low and high frequencies if that makes sense on the particular sample.
  • Github has a file size limit of 100MB, but generally samples should be much smaller than this

Creating the folder structure

stargate-sample-pack/your-artist-name/your-sample-pack-name

# containing organized subfolders like
kick-drums/
snares/
claps/
loops/
hihats/
violin/
synth-bass/
bass-guitar/

# You can create a README.md in your artist name and sample pack name folders
# to describe the sample pack, give yourself attribution, promote your
# website or pages

Create a pull request from this. If you do not know how to create a pull request, you can create an issue tracker and attach the samples as a zip file or link to them using a service like Google Drive or wormhole.app.
