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.
Of course, when you’ve hit the big time, you can fork out for a studio. But when you’re just kicking off your composition career, you’ll still need to have a pretty significant toolset, if only to build your portfolio. So this of sample libraries—that you won’t need to shell out for—will be a godsend for emerging composers. 
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 imperative for emerging music makers: a list like this should come in handy! From ukuleles, all the way up to powerfully sampled orchestral libraries, there’s a lot to choose from.
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.
