Sample CDs

DJ Fat Zed

I'm just in the process of making a sample CD for garage producers.

I just wanted a few opinions of what sort of stuff you'd like to see on one aside from the usual beats and B-linez.

I've managed to get juiceman to do a few little shouts and phrases and I'll be getting some sung phrases raga style from simba.

Let me know a few good ideas and there might be a free CD in it for you.....

FAT ZED THE ONE THING YOU NEVER SEEM TO FIND ON SAMPLE CD'S ARE THE LITTLE FX'S I.E YOU HAVE ALL THE BASIC THINGS IN THERE LIKE BEATS BASS MELODY VOCALS ETC ETC BACK YOU NEVER GET THEM LITTLE NOISES THAT JUST FILL IN AND FATTEN UP THE TRACK.

DJ Fat Zed

I was gonna do a few of those. Synth noises, bleeps, taps, cymbals etc???

Sen

some real instruments and some real world sounds...

some more mechanical sounding fx

real rhodes chords for djaguk

Lemme think on this.

Fifty Five Hype doin' the do!

Speaking of which...I may soon have another vocalist to work with, so I'll be in touch with you

thabutcha16

another UKG Sample CD would be nice....

I got the UEBERSCHELL one...

it's great for drum sounds but that's about it...some of the stuf on there is HORRID to say the least!!


the RAGGA chants would be a great Idea


a tip...

don't bother wit cheesy full length traks....it just a waste of space

and please state the BPM next to the samples



PS let me know when ur releasing it!!

Paul Rose

Cymbal's on their own please. Agree about the bleepy noises bit. Also maybe some offkey atmos noises, as they never seem to be on CD's aswell. Another one is some decent tamborine/shaker loops. I wouldn't go overboard with the vocal samples though, as they get tired pretty quickly.

Sen

if the vocals are on there, just make them generic enough to be useful in several situations. No references to 2002 stylee or whatever...don't want to be too dated

Don't worry too much about effecting the sounds...well, maybe do to appeal to those without effects units...

Some nice pads would be sweet.

dun know sen. multisampled too

paulyc

Sounds Good Dan!

Personally i would like bass samples, proper analog style!!

Can u ask juicey to do a "Paulyc" shout on one for me

Sen

good point aguk...multisampled stuff would be nice.

"Analogue samples" is an oxymoron, but whatever

UKG drums tend(ed) to be more real sounding than electronic...

Some guitar riffs would be nice...spanish stylee/rnb stylee.

Some dub fx-x-x-x-x-x-x---x--x-x---x--x-x would be nice too

likkle scratches/rewinds, needle drops, etc.

tiger

yeah, for those of us without turntables, long scratch sequences would be very nice...good to have for hip hop/r&b....more instrument hits too...i'm tired of having to cut up all the loops i get off the net (yes i know i'm lazy)

Qwest

ill gladly test this out once its finished

i think everyone up there has more or less said what i was gonna say!...

but yeah, definalty some fx & sweeps!

MALKOVICH

Personally I would like too hear some atmospheric sounds, uplifting and dark.
I always seem to sample them from films and abstract soundtracks but rarely find any on sample CD's.

Peace Malko-V

oochie

ummm yeah as above really, i would like plenty of sirens and the old noises they used on the old ragga sound systems!..boop-boop!!

Tyrone

This whole sample cd thing "sounds" really good (I mean the idea)

but just outa couriosity what are you gunna do with this thing ???

I mean is there a demand for or are you just sortin out your friends...

there are a ton of drum sample cds out there already. athough I have yet to find a quality amout of base samples . How are you going to take the samples of the base every note or everyother note ?

fx would be nice to see to but there a ton of them on the market too.

“	Originally posted by Tyrone How are you going to take the samples of the base every note or everyother note ?	”

I'm not sure I quite understand exactly what you mean???????

paulyc

he means are u gona include c d e f g a b c

Tyrone, u dont need these u need one sample and then sequence it yourself.

Sen

well, really you should multisample...for analogue instruments anyway...as sounds change in characteristic depending on pitch...

An A3 and an A5 sound completely different on a piano, for example.

Taking a sample of an A3 and pitching it up 2 octaves doesn't get it to sound like the A5

Tyrone

that's right Sen exactly what I was saying....
