He means nujabes, a Japanese DJ/composer/arranger who made really awesome chill music. One of my personal favorite artists in music, here's one of his songs:

Also, where do you get your sources in instruments and effects? Been having a hard time finding a good one.
Wow, that is nice! Great stuff there.
As for FX/instruments, I have just Googled 'n gained over time. Some of the ones I consider my favorites/must-haves are:
Instruments:
Scythe (Basic synthesizer with an awesome randomizer. Great for making really weird, complex sounds. Be wary, though - it's best to randomize with the volume way down, because it randomizes the volume knob too! XD)
dirty harry (Digital atari-like synthesizer, makes some sweet sounds.)
Any and all free DSK Music instruments (modeled after real-world orchestral instruments, plus some synths and things.)
Alchemy Player free version (buncha presets with knobs to adjust them - good for when you're in a musical bind!)
Addictive Keys Free & Addictive Drums Free (Realistic pianos and drums. Limited options in the free version, but still good.)
mda Piano (Works well with some nice reverb. Can go higher octaves than Addictive Keys Free.)
FX:
Frohmage (Weird filter-thingy FX. Hard to describe what it does, just get it. XD)
epicVerb (Good reverb/ambience.)
Ambience (Another good reverb plugin. Get both, they sound a bit different in many cases.)
REDEQ (Only three knobs on an EQ?! Sounds like a bad idea, but it is in fact very good!)
Replika (Delay plugin that can be used for ambience/pads/large spacious sounds. I got this for free in a Christmas special, but you'd have to pay for it. Very good, though.)
Hysteresis & Fracture (Glitch plugins for making things weird. Can be found at glitchmachines.com.)
As for samples (I'll provide links here, as they will be easier to find)...

Musicradar (TONS here!): http://www.musicrada...d-multis-217833
99sounds (very high quality): http://99sounds.org/
Freesound (random stuff): http://freesound.org
I also use several of the effects/plugins that come with the program I use (REAPER). Those you'd have to have REAPER for. They're nothing special, though - pretty generic. Anyway, I hope this helps! :)
