Skrypnyk Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 like most free stuff, you're gonna have to go through a lot to find the really good stuff. But considering it's free, you can do some neat stuff. Requires FL8 (not really, but you miss out on fl-chan) and The Berklee Sampling Archive - Volume 1 @ 44.1K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moseph Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Prepared piano samples and beer-pouring sounds? I may have a use for these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think... You may have to do some work to make some of the really good IMIS shit work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Bluefox have you actually used a sampler plugin before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluefoxIcy Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Bluefox have you actually used a sampler plugin before? Are you kidding? Modplug never had that stuff, I had to cut/trim/crop/whatever and then set up the loop points and attack envelopes myself, and tune it manually against a 523.251Hz sinewave! (Modplug only liked to tune against C5 instead of A4 440Hz or something stupid) ... that would be a 'no' but with snow uphill both ways.

zircon Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I guess I'm saying don't link to things when you don't really have any idea how to use them, or what even goes into making them usable. You have to map those IMIS samples yourself, which I don't think most people here know how to do, and they're FLAC, which is idiotic since most samplers don't support that and you'd have to convert them all back to WAV manually. Not worth it IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluefoxIcy Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 You have to map those IMIS samples yourself, which I don't think most people here know how to do No kidding. I did that with modplug, it's such a pain, as I explained. and they're FLAC, which is idiotic since most samplers don't support that and you'd have to convert them all back to WAV manually. Not worth it IMO. The main set used to be WAV but now FLAC. You can drop the whole directory on a mass-converter. FLACDrop will run through the whole directory and output a directory of WAVs if you drag it onto it IIRC. Remember flute and piano and other clean instruments compress like 3:1 or better in FLAC too; I used to get 5:1 on a lot of Uematsu's orchestral pieces, contrast typical 2:1. It's a transport issue... you should be able to appreciate what would happen if (for instance) every MP3 on OCR was 5 times bigger right? http://www.rarewares.org/lossless.php (mind you, I don't do any work; I'm too lazy to use flacdrop, I'd write a script in bash or in cygwin in windows, probably 1 line... 'find . -name \*.flac -exec flac -d {} \;' and let it do the work for me; but that's a little advanced) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not worth it IMO. I dunno, if they sound really, really good they might be worth the trouble (for those of us who have no money to purchase actual sample libraries ). If I get the time, I'll go through some of them and throw together an NN-XT patch if they seem worth using. Speaking of uncompiled samples, there's a whole lot of cool stuff at the Sound Exchange, but the download procedure is unbelievably inconvenient -- you have to download each individual sample separately. It's a shame, because there's a lot of stuff there that would be useful if it were easily usable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
