Blew $150 on a sample pack that was just recycled loops from other packs
I bought this 'exclusive' sample pack from a San Salvador producer last month, thinking it'd give my tracks a fresh edge, but it turned out every kick and hat was the same stuff I already had from a free pack I downloaded in 2022. Felt like a total idiot when I saw the waveform matched up perfectly with something I'd deleted off my hard drive. Anyone else get burned by a hype sample pack that was just a rip off?

felt like a total idiot" yeah that hits way too close to home man. I bought a "premium" pack from some producer with like 50k followers on Instagram and turns out half the 808s were literally just the same ones from the free Cymatics packs everyone already has. I spent like two hours trying to tweak them before I realized the waveforms were identical. What's worse is I went back and checked the original free pack I had and they even kept the same damn folder names, just reorganized them. Idk why I keep falling for that hype, it's like every third pack now is just repackaged garbage with a fancy logo.
