Purchasing a production library is an investment. So you really need to carefully consider which one is right for you. One can go for a monthly subscription or a royalty-free buyout. Whatever your choice, it’s great to get free FX from different libraries. It’s a way of sampling without having to spend money yet. So aside from listening to demos, download free FX from production companies are indeed really helpful.
