i second what duce says....if you want sum string hits download classical songs off of Kazaa and clip out string sections.

u can do the same with Rap Songs, or Techno, Chillout, Jazz, etc to get kicks. just find a point in a song where only the drums r playing n isolate the kick sound.

basses r harder to find but not impossible.

u might want to get Acid software to clip parts of the songs u want to use.

^^^^^This is how u can get sounds free. U can also spend sum money on Instrument CD's and save your self hours of searching, downloading and clipping. It's your choice.
