4,775 Royalty-Free Audio Tracks for "In C"

Recording of music written by Frederic Chopin

I was creating a kick drum sound using a model d synthesizer to see if i could and i realized the upper register had some very interesting percussive blips. I recorded starting with c or c# below middle c and upward for usable sounds and thought they might be interesting and useful for someone else as well. Please do what you want, slice and dice, these are original sounds by me from the model d and i give them freely for whatever use.

Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67 - ii. Andant con moto

A ragtime composed by W. C. Handy and recorded by Handy's Orchestra of Memphis in 1917 in New York.

Dubstep bass: 110 bpm wobble at 1/16th note, half of the samples as a sine lfo and saw lfo descending. Sampled in ableton using massive, compression using psp compressor2. Random presets with lfo settings on key parts, and very little other effects used, mostly so this sample can be re-sampled. 110 bpm so it can be pitched up which is usually better then having to pitch samples down.

Soft noise emulating wind, a mechanical fan, a/c, etc.

Striking a zippo lighter. Recorded on behringer c-1.

A super simple synthetic kick.

Restaurating old samples.
