Music Production HQ has a Huge List of Free Sample Libraries

The legends at Music Production HQ have assembled a massive list of free sample libraries. The extensive index covers kits, guitars, keys, orchestral instruments and more.

If you ever needed an invitation to kick off your music making career, here it is. Check out a giant checklist of free sample libraries, courtesy of Music Production HQ.

Sample libraries are an essential tool for modern composers, especially in screen media. So the search for ever more unique sounds is an imperative for emerging music makers: a list like this should come in handy!

The catalogue is helpfully split up into instrumental categories. Also, a “K” denotes the libraries that are compatible with the ubiquitous Kontakt sampling platform from Native Instruments.
