sample cd's for production

[Tony P]

can anyone suggest any good sample cd's for production, as there are so many to choose from and don't wanna waste my money.

 

would preferably like ones for production of techo and hard dance

[Clubbing Si]

u mean cds with say .flp files people have made and synth setting and stuff like that? and material u can actaully see how the tune / riff is constructed in noted etc rather than a whole?

[Tony P]

yeah stuff like that

 

and also wav files that can be used and then altered like drum hits, etc

A couple of good ones for Hard House etc are called Nu House and Interface Dance both by Zero G. Alot of people will tell you the sounds on them have been done to death but i see it as its what you do to the sounds that make the difference

i'm having fun experimenting with synth setting etc...so thats not much of a problem, but then again, things like this would be handy to see as i'm sure there will be things i will over look.

tony check out google m8 - i found system f - out of the blue as a fruity file (*.flp) its the proper full Ferry corsten extended mix and is fantastic to manipulate and is very learning - do u want me to send it u - are u on msn at all?

Most of the music technology magazines come with sample CDs each month. I'm subscribed to Music Tech magazine. There's also Future Music and Computer Music.

sometimes the best thing is to look in other genres for inspiration tho, don't just pigeon hole yourself, look around a lot at whatever you can, whether u like the genre or not, cos you may find something that you like and could manipulate to suit your needs. stops one type of music becoming too samey

^ Agreed with Ben. I make a lot of my best techy loops by using 'real' drum sample CDs, samples from drum & bass records, etc etc -- I don't have a single 'techno sample CD'!

 

Having said that, it pays to have a big selection of house-style kicks, claps and hihats. PM me your MSN and I'll send you a ZIP file with a good selection, when I get the chance over the weekend.

[Tony P]

thanks for the advice guys.

yep i agree, think it's justa case of building up a good collection of sample really.

 

i'll pm you msn address now andy, thanks a million
