Hey, looking for bulk sounds and samples. Happy to pay for a zip file or data. Just need bulk. Or advise on a good production software

Packs can be downloaded in one go, like here (shameless plug, it's one of mine)
https://freesound.org/people/copyc4t/packs/14437/
so you can search for sounds that fit your needs and, if they belong to a pack, get the whole zipped pack.

As for software, here are a few:

Audacity, editing swiss-army knife

Ardour, full fledged DAW (Digital Audio Workstation)

LMMS, simpler DAW, pattern oriented, many instruments and presets included
