Recommended Sample Packs
Would someone be able to recommend a sample pack that they find themselves constantly using sounds from? I really can't find one that I am happy with. So if anyone has some recommendations with a complete assortment of sounds from toms to percs and kicks to atmospheres.
Re: Recommended Sample Packs
Check out the sample pack by Mattias (forum member). I like it a lot, especially because the sounds aren't overprocessed and leave enough room to sculpt them to your own taste. I also purchased Wave Alchemy's Drum Tools, and even though the samples themselves are good, they just don't leave enough room to fool arround with them... that said, there is also a section with single rumble, sub, and transient sounds in the same pack, which is really handy. Also the (free I guess) tape 808 and 909 packs by them are my favourite of all roland sample packs... I even prefer them to the goldbaby ones, but you should check out goldbaby though... great samples.
Re: Recommended Sample Packs
search for packs called Modify by brendon moeller
also Project Techno & Bluezone Corporation
but my recomendation for you is to learn to make your own samples even if they sucks at first ^^ it's easier to progress & future modulate them in a track...

Re: Recommended Sample Packs
wavealchemy drums are some of my favourites over the last while, I don't use store bought samples for much else.

Re: Recommended Sample Packs
I only use mattiases pack, a free 808 pack for an occasional kick and dmesc pack for percussions.
I recommend to keep your amount of packs limited.

Re: Recommended Sample Packs
+1 for the wave alchemy drum tools, I also like their synth drums pack but I don't use it as much. The Mattias packs are also essential, even just as a way of saying thanks for all the great advice you get on Subsekt
For bread and butter sounds I think those pretty much have you covered. Learning to synthesise drums, practicing layering and buying a field recorder should sort you out for drums in 90% of techno.

cant google right now.
Re: Recommended Sample Packs
Mattias Fridell's Electronic Embryo pack and Wave Alchemy Synth Drums get a lot of use. Plus grab all the free stuff from Goldbaby and Wave Alchemy.
For atmospheres and fx just roll your own man, its easy. +1 on the field recorder, kinda essential for techno.

Re: Recommended Sample Packs
Waves Alchemy Synth Drums for drum sounds. It's great cuz it got the unprocessed samples in there too. Also Driven Machine Drums has some free packs that are not bad.
A field recorder (or maybe just a mic for my phone) are very high on my wishlist as well

Re: Recommended Sample Packs
aside from making your own samples, I'd say, any good samplepacks are already out there... in other words, anything that they continue to release daily (even hourly I'd bet) are straight sh!te...
millions of elec. music "producers" are probably financially raped daily with these "gotta get" samplepacks... sounds that are of course... "expertly sculpted with the ultimate vintage analog processing-chain, and sonically crafted to fit perfectly in the mix..." (because why would anyone be expected to have to mix these sounds themselves).
and that's my favorite selling point... "sonically crafted to fit perfectly in the mix..."
oh yeah.. can;t forget that they were also "professionally enhanced to rock the dancefloor."

Re: Recommended Sample Packs
Not even close to true. There are a tonne of great sound designers out there doing some amazing stuff daily. To think that everything in this world worth creating has already been created is one of the great follies of life.qb748t394 wrote:aside from making your own samples, I'd say, any good samplepacks are already out there... in other words, anything that they continue to release daily (even hourly I'd bet) are straight sh!te...
Just take Diego Stocco for example

Re: Recommended Sample Packs
I fucking love these Diego Stocco videos. I bought his first tutorial video and it's really inspiring. I intend to get his others when I have chance.
This video makes me want to buy a contact mic for my field recorder.

Re: Recommended Sample Packs
Diego Stocco rules.
He made some of my favourite sounds (and more importantly sound sources) for Atmosphere and Omnisphere.
But the problem is most people don't know original stuff like Diego Stocco and only know the same kind of sample packs that they are indeed throwing our way all the time.
Qb has a point, it's always the same crap.
But I guess as long as people are buying those crap sample packs, they are going to keep on making them.

Re: Recommended Sample Packs
Just the 3 videos so far. The first was the rhythmic processing video and the one I had to see, being a fan of his stuff for a while. It's actually a fairly simple process, but it's not obvious either. The other 2 videos are about convolution and miking.
