Grab Some Free Loops and Samples

I was thrilled to notice on Twitter the other day that a couple of authors were looking for some music for their latest book trailer, and they found just what they were looking for among our Freebie samples and loops. I realized that even regular visitors to our site may not realize that they are there, so I want to tell you about it.

But first, back to Twitter. Authors Daniel Ward and Terre Britton have a four-book Drama/Sci-Fi series called The Four Orders which they publicize on their website and YouTube channel. The story is based on a set of equations discovered by James Clerk Maxwell. I did a fair amount of physics at university years ago, so I know that these equations form the basis of our understanding of electricity, and also played a part in paving the way for Einstein to discover relativity. I haven't read the books, but they sound interesting.

Well, back to the tweets. Here is the first one, posted on November 1st:

#Authors... need music for your book trailer? Check out #Freebies #Loops @audiotuts http://bit.ly/cms77r

The second tweet was posted around half an hour later:

@audiotuts Thank you for the #Freebies!

I'm grateful for such a big and public "Thank you". Daniel and Terre discovered our Freebies and found them useful. Maybe you will too.

But firstly, I know I'm mainly talking to musos here. Have you considered submitting a Freebie?

From the Submit a Freebie page:

Submitting a loop, sample or something else to the freebie section is a great way to get exposure and traffic while showing off your work to the world. We’ll include a big author link and bio on your item and it’ll be seen by thousands of Audiotuts+ devotees!

If you have some useful samples or loops that you know others can use, make some friends! Let us give them away for you - and give you some exposure by linking to your site in the freebie post.
