sample

Hello, I’ve never asked anything here before, but I’ve been trying to figure out what a specific sound sample used in two different songs is, and if they’re even the same thing. They sound too similar to both be original, so I wanted to ask if anyone has any clue where they come from. For a...

Hi guys! My first post is to thank all of you for the help needed to solve multiple bugs on my KSP journey. I'm a guitarist, producer, sound engineer and Web Developer from São João da Madeira, Portugal. Here's my website (this basic): https://hotdogtor.com The universe always gives back what...

Hello. I am Japanese. This song is from a Japanese social game, but I'm curious as to what the kick sound used in this song is. It's not a so-called EDM kick, but has a good bounce. But I don't think it's a trance kick either. There is too much noise to extract and sample from the song. (I...

There's a certain monster in a game I play, called My Singing Monsters (a game where the characters make vocal & instrumental sounds). It makes an instrument sound i'm REALLY curious about. I believe it comes from a VST library or sample library, and wonder if anyone recognizes the sound (...

Hey Everyone! I know there is has been some interest in @StrezovSampling 's new Afflatus Brass Library. They asked me to make a demo track for them. After I made the track I made a walkthrough of it and talk a bit about what I used from the library to get this sound. See what you think!

What do the hobby AND professional audience think about live composing streams or live composing "log" videos? - dos - don´ts - suggestions - best and worse examples - visual settings? Some questions: 1. Can you follow it along just by ear? 2. Does the composer needs to talk or not? 3...

Hi folks. In this thread I want to share with you the progress in my piano synthesis project. I am a fan of pianos. However, my idea of synthesizing piano sounds grew a year ago when I was not so satisfied with the sounds of pianos and thought piano synthesis using DSP technologies would create...

I'm looking for some tips on some good sample libraries/plugins that gives you those drum hits, snares, hi-hats and other sounds that you commonly hear in todays pop music playing in the radio for example. I'm mainly looking for what a producer might use to make the underlying rhythm or drum...

Hi all. I've done it. I've finally built the courage to get off logic pro x and begin my descent to Cubase 12. I've been looking at previous posts here on the forum for tips and advice for pre-balancing my orchestral template mix! What are some good reference tracks that you like to use for...

I'm curious about what sample libraries composers are wanting next for their toolbox! GO!

I've been rather curious about this for a while and want to ask now. But when you can recognize the samples or virtual instruments in a song, how do you generally feel about it? I'm not talking about when you can tell that the song is using, say, a sampled orchestra instead of a real one. I mean...

Hey, I'm a bit new to the sample development game. Previously I just had stuff developed internally for my own use. Does anyone have recommendations for good GUI designers? ~Andrew

Hey everyone, So there's this thing I can't seem to wrap my head around. I'm trying to tweak the Cineperc timpani rolls to "disable" the final hit of the sample in order to play another note instead. This would come in really handy when for example you're playing a cadence (in C major) with...

Hey everyone! I'm curious to know: what do you typically expect in terms of bundle discounts, when it comes to online digital products (sample libs, courses, etc)? For example, let's say a developer has 5 products. They offer the complete bundle at one price, but if you already own one product...

Hi All, to create some atmosphere in a lofi track, I would like to add the sound of a classic Wittner pyramidal wood mechanical metronome to it, almost as one of the percussive elements. The least I expected is that it was hard to find a recording of it. My guess is that Wittner is jealous of...

I have a horn line that transitions from Long to Legato, but it seems to be playing incorrectly. (The specific part is around 2-3 seconds in each video). However, if I start the playback from the place where the line starts, it plays correctly. Is there anything I can do to make it play...

Hi, I am considering buying a great piano vst library. I currently own Gentle Keys by Splash Sound. I purchased it for $58 and it has a nice dreamy tone with an optional smooth synthetic strings layer, but the dynamics are a bit small since it's sampled from an upright piano and is less than 1...

Hi everyone, i'm quite new in here, probably my first post. I was searching for the most suitable orchestral template for my workflow (Cubase 10 Artist + MBP 2015 16gigs ram and i7) but probably heavy load of samples or something else, quite staggering to work. I mostly use Spitfire Symphony...

I would be very grateful for some feedback, in particular in regard to how I work the EW Hollywood samples and the overall balance of the orchestra :) Getting a decent sound out of EW HW is hard, but sadly I don't have the budget to order Spitfire or Berlin. Maybe some day! Cheers, -B87 PS...

I've looked at 8Dio what they have to offer for BF and discovered their orchestra Majestica that is on sale for $176 I think. I already own one of their strings library (Agitato Sordino Strings) and I find them very good. Since Majestica is more that 60% off I kind of want to buy it. They have...

Good day everyone, after lurking for months, I decided there is no better place to ask my question. I very recently got into VSTs and decided to go with EW's Composer Cloud for now. It's affordable and, IMHO, a great way to 'get into things'. I first made the rookie mistake of loading a single...

Hello, I wonder if there is a way in Kontakt where I can set a (midi CC/ or a MACRO, or a script) that can Purge samples, update sample pool, and reload samples. My goal is to optimize resource whenever I need by loading/unloading the samples needed very quickly. Any tips/suggestions around...

Hello everyone The question is in the title: how should I mix a song demo for a sample library ? Should I : - do a mere level balance, with no eq, reverb or compression - do a simple mix that sounds good enough, and brings out the samples a bit - do the absolute best master I can ? What is...

It's been 6 years since the release of this beautiful library, and it still stands as one of the best woodwind libraries on the market today. Watching this preview brought me great inspiration, and I hope it does for you as well.

In this video, I explore various techniques for making samples loop. First, I cover the options available within Kontakt, then I investigate external tools: LoopAuditioneer and WaveLab. At the end of the video, I put theory into practice by recording some musical wine glasses and making them...

From one day to the next, my Kontakt player now only loads one library at a time. For some, it stays at 0.00 MB and starts to load once it starts receiving MIDI information. Also, once everything is loaded, there's still a crackle/signal fallout when the MIDI performance starts. Everything was...
