forgive me for double posting (sort of), but I know the drum samples meta page probably doesn't get a whole lot of traffic, so I wanted to post a topic down here to get a little more attention to the idea I posted. (post #149)...
gigs upon gigs of drum samples!?!?

Why don't you use drop box, invite people and you'll have a lot of space for it. I think the max is 4 or 5 gigs.
And it's free!!!!

I looked into that. problem is I could see this EASILY reaching 6-8 gigs in the first few months. dropbox limits you to 3gb max. most of the samples I have in my library are from a year or so ago. I know there are a lot more newer samples out there now too. I'm sure I'd get flooded with samples once I got the ball rolling.
p.s. looks like the best deal around is $60 a year for unlimited space (unlimited? seriously!?!?), and unlimited bandwidth.

I thought that there was a thread w while ago where people on here were putting all their dropbox accounts together and loading it up with samples and stuff?
Anyway, if this can be done, I'll join in! I want these samples!

Why don't a few of the people who have the majority of the sample sets get a few dropbox accounts and just sticky the thread? Granted, it would be a little less organized, but obviously cheaper.
Edit: Would Adrive.com work? Free 50Gigs. Like, create one sneap user name and just post it with the link...

I have 1000gb of space and 1000gb of bandwidth/month on my server, I don't mind hosting all this stuff for free if someone wants to organize it all.
lol sounds like a good deal. but when I checked it was $80, not a huge difference unless you're tight on the budget.
edit: A drive seems like a better solution for this though. 50 gigs unlimited bandwith and you can upload 2gigs at a time, which isn't so bad for free.

If you do so, please organise the samples, because there is no way we will browse such an amount of samples without having an idea where to find what

well the dropbox is open & linked to the sneap folder but there are only 3 or 4 of us using it and i think im the only person who has bothered to up some samples and impulses so that turned into an epic fail a few weeks ago.
would ultimatemetal consider freeing up a few gigs on the server? i doubt it
i think we all donate a buck or 7 and just get the samples up - who's up for organizing em? because its going to be a fucking nightmare

I wouldn't mind having a go at organizing them, I have plenty of free time at the moment! Also, could you post a link to the sneap dropbox folder? I want to see whats there dude!

if you click on "hosting" on the page they advertise $58.56 a year.
any help would be much appreciated. I can start to work on the development of the page. I'll have to freshen up on my css and html a bit. I'll make the initial purchase of the space, then set up a donate button on the page to help cover the cost.
if some of you other guys would like to start getting the ball rolling on organizing them, that would be much help! maybe we can have people start posting dropbox links on here now and someone can start downloading them and organizing them? if a few of you would like to help with this. we can put our heads together on a filing system and split up the work. one of you take snares and kicks. one take toms, one take cymbals and other misc samples, or something like that. we'd just have to make sure when people post links to DL the samples that they specify what the samples are so they can be properly split up for the appropriate organizers.
