Hey, first time posting here.
Just started making dungeon synth with FL studio, and I've noticed a lot of talk on here about sound fonts, but I haven't seen a thread specifically dedicated to them. I found this directory of a bunch of free sound fonts here cymatics.fm/blogs/production/soundfonts , but I still don't know where to begin.
FL studio has a stock sound font player, but it only comes with one sound font. However FLEX comes with a general midi bank, so I've been using that a bit; so far I've found those sounds a little hit and miss (a couple of my tracks ended up sounding a little too poppy).
I was wondering what are your favourite sound fonts? feel free to leave links and examples of your music using them.
What kind of sound fonts player do you use? decent sampler looks interesting.
Where do you get your sound fonts?
Is there anything you would want to avoid when looking for sound fonts?
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks

With Talvi I'm using the original 4MB General MIDI soundfont that came with Sound Blaster Live! Platinum card back in the day. I used it on all my demo material in the past, and when I resurrected the project after a long hiatus, I was happy to notice there's this soundfont player in FL Studio, and luckily had the old soundfont in my backups and got it working without issues. Added some reverb on the master channel, slight delay on each instrument and reduced the key velocities on piano roll and I'm pleased with the results on the new/reworked material. It appears those soundfont sites I discovered in the late 90's and early 00's are already long gone, but in addition to your link, here's what I just came across some time ago: musical-artifacts.com/Also here's a collection of some old SB-related stuff. The soundfont I'm using is not included there, but has quite similar ones instead. Just click on "Show all" under the download options to view the files: - archive.org/details/soundfonts_201910I never had the SB Audigy myself, but there should be some soundfonts included somewhere on this ISO file as well: - archive.org/details/cd-sb-audigy
