 Coolness: 174790 | Im looking at [ bigfishaudio.com ] to the demos, and some nice stuff is pouring out of my speakers...question is, are these cds worth the buck? most range about 45$ can *2 cd set*
Does using samples by other producers make your music less yours? Discuss. |

 Coolness: 201925 | sample cd's are awesome. You can always edit the samples to your liking afterwards anyway..
45$ for a sample cd is very cheap.. I have seen some that are like 600$ (for a set of a few cds). Does using samples by other producers make your music less yours?
Depends... If it's a guitar riff or something or a synthline and you don't modify it at all I consider that kind of lame. If it's a drumloop you can mess those up a lot.. I have probably 300 drumloops on my hd that I use all the time. The best thing about sample cds is normally with professional ones the samples are all cleared and free for use (make sure they are free for commercial use, not personal use!). If they are free for commercial use you can use any of them with no legal problems and can sell the music with them easily. I've used a lot of sample cd stuff in my fm_man songs, ussually modified to my liking. |

 Coolness: 86385 | true scott, but i still say making your own is the most pure way to go.
although, no harm in using high quality pre-made drum sounds. in my books at least. |

| Coolness: 201925 | some stuff is hard to record on your own.
I mean it's hard to record a whole choir in your living room with proper room acoustics but you could buy a sample cd set of choirs and get some amazing samples from it. You could record a choir but the cost for it including the equipment and engineer would be way way more than a sample cd. |

 Coolness: 106490 | Properly produced sample CD's are definitely worth it. Like Scott said, the amount of work sometimes put in to producing these discs is insane. Mic'ing piano in a given room, different velocities, stacatto or legato, 88 keys.... its long and tedious. Its not uncommon to see sample libraries of one instrument be over 1 gig. Ive even seen 2.4 gig. Believe it or not people are sampling effects now. Reverb's and whatnot. Crazy math involved in that shite :p |

| Coolness: 201925 | yeah piano's are a good example of why you might use sample cds. I sure as hell can't afford a steinway... |

| Coolness: 86385 | i recorded my piano. it did the trick. but would have been better, given i had better mic's n stuff~
which i could borrow given i really needed it. heh, but yeah, having a library of sample-patches does come in handy~ |

| Coolness: 201925 | yeah but your piano isn't a 45,000$ steinway |

| Coolness: 67215 | Steinberg has a new sample cd archive.
serveral DVDs of outdoors, seperated into foreground and background samples. 45gb's worth, all 5.1 surround sound 24bit/96khz aiff files. Well worth the high price it costs. |

| Coolness: 174790 | i have to agree with you guys, im a big fan of samples. Not just for their easy of use in implementing them into a track, but i find some sounds are impossible to sample yourself...how in the hell am i going to sample a chello or harp?
anyways im getting a couple [ cds...ca ] wait...*drool* any place in montreal that has a good [ selection...bigfishaudio.com ] seems to have a wicked selection and noice lush sound. |

| Coolness: 106490 | Steve's can get their hands on every disc of a certain collection (dont remember which one) They also have a few in stock. Check it out |

| Coolness: 86385 | i could sample a harp~ :b
i just call up some chick i know who has a harp, and be like, "Yo, I'm gonna SAMPLE YOU~!" it's that e-z and there is alot of cool sound out there that can never be replicated on a sample cd. but that's just me~ |

| Coolness: 174790 | im too lazy to lug around my su-700 and a mic to go round recording random sounds. |

| Coolness: 142065 | arigh then give em to [ me...ca ] i can think of a billion things i want to be sampling but don't have the equipment for...

| Coolness: 174790 | another problem...my sample doesnt have battery capability..
thats why the dr 202 rocked...and for its roll feature...i think ill have to get another just for that function. i think there were 30 different types of rolls. |
