Memory Collection Sample Packs
The samples in this collection are taken from Public Domain movies, documentaries, TV shows and TV ads. I chose the name Memory Collection because by definition works in the Public Domain are from the past, a past often not very distant but sadly also often forgotten or ignored. These collections bring back some of the sounds from the past.
These video documents are usually old and the sound quality is often not great and they're noisy too. The samples include voice/spoken word/dialogs, sfx/foley and music. Many of them can be further divided so you can have some fun yourself ;-).
Also don't expect that every sample in them will be useful to you. But I am sure they will be fun!
The packs and their free downloadable demos are available below. NOTE that the samples in the MC packs are not mapped in any way, they only contain wav files except for the mini kits. All the demos and Add to Cart buttons are at the bottom of this page, before the free packs.
They can also be bought from Sampleism, HERE.

Please note that the samples are not mapped in any way or in any specific sampler format. The MC 05 only contains wav files.Download the free demo pack of 120 samples below, just above the Add to Cart buttons.
Download or read the PDF documentation (with screen captures) and the complete list of the samples.The movies are from the 1930s to the 1970s. So they cover different styles of soundtracks. I was surprised by the quality of the soundtracks in general. They featured early electronic music with a creative mix of various types of sound sources. Even without using any of the samples in a composition, just listening to them is fun and it also is a lesson in the history and evolution of sound design in movies.

Act 1: Space Adventure Act 2: You're Drunk Act 3: Mysterious Peril Act 4: Lost Contact
