noTuX Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 But I was originally referring to something else, what I’m looking for sounds like bashing a metal pipe making an unusual sound, I’ve have heard it countless times, but I can never find out what it’s called Try looking for the Basement noise soundfont here: http://www.soundfontdepot.com/browse.php?soundfont_category_id=17&emusicmag_soundfont_listPage=7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noTuX Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Does anyone know where I can find the AkaiSteinwayIII sound font??? I tried Hammersound, but the download link is not working and I can't find it anywhere else. I had to pull one of LooPKiD's numbers. lol But seriously, I really need to find this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexy Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Hi, I've been pointed in the direction of some piano VSTs among the forums a couple of days ago, however due to the crash the links were wiped out. In other words... can you please link me towards some good piano sounds? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayLightning Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Do you mean free or do you have a budget. Most good piano samples are around $200. There's several very good piano soundfonts out there for free. http://www.guraydere.com/soundfonts/ I recommend the Clavinova v1 or 2. With proper playing, processing and mastering it can sound amazing. That's if you want a softer more intimate sound. If you want a sharper, jazzier/pop sound http://www.naturalstudio.co.uk/ns_piano.html this one's pretty good also. These are significant upgrades to what you used on your submission, so...Have fun.

Rexy Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Do you mean free or do you have a budget Unless I get a job sometime soon, they'll have to be free But hey, the samples you provided me seem to work nicely. Took a while to figure out how to use them, but it's all fine. Maybe I could play around with these while putting together the overall touches on my next piano work. Thanks, man.

Thanks also GrayLightning. These will definitely come in handy. Also, I'm looking for a nice slow bar chimes sound. Not like a single chromatic bell but the kind that percussionists have with their drum kits that sound like wind chimes. The slower the better. I've found some samples but they are really poor quality and I want this sample to be able to stand essentially on its own in the song. Thanks!

GrayLightning Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Do you mean belltrees? I might have a free one I could share. I would need to look for it first before I can tell for sure. But unfortunately most of them are indeed fast strokes. You would need to either pitch shift it or timewarp it to get the intended effect you're looking for.

Hopefully I wouldn't have to slow it down too much. I just rememebred where I heard a really great one on OCR and coincidentally its GrayLightning's Return of the Pheonix mix. Right at the beginning are some beautiful chimes. A free sample would be great but I'd be willing to pay for one if I could be pointed in a good direction.

A free sample would be great but I'd be willing to pay for one if I could be pointed in a good direction. Small world. That would be a plain ole windchime, in this case I used Reason's default Orkester with heavy processing (a bit of pitch shift down, time shift to slow it down further, a little bit of delay and double reverb of space warp, and then a hall with finally automated stereo delay + panning). I think I have a free wav of something similar. I'll need to find it when I have time. I'll pm you about it tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellywu2 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Hi everyone, i'm looking for an Arabian Fiddle/violin sample. i.e the sort used in the chemical brothers song galvanise. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k u n g f u c h i c k e n Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Ugh, I am going to look through this quite a bit now, I lost my soundfonts and drums to the damn worm in my computer. Zircon, can yuo post a link to yuor drums again? They always helped me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damantis Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I'm looking for soundfonts/samples of some ochestral percussion. I don't know what to call it, but you can hear something similar in the Final Fantasy X OST ("17. Aeon Battle" on the 4th disc). It's the loud and epic percussion throughout the song. Sorry I couldn't describe it clearly enough (not really musically inclined), so here's a 100kb sample. http://dman.orcon.net.nz/snd.mp3 Thanks.

The percussion sounds like Timpani drums and cymbals. Orchestral is not exactly my forte so I can't be too specific but there are some decent timpanis in the Squidfont Orchestral soundfont on Darkesword's soundfont site. Those drums are common enough that you can probably find some good free ones in the percussive or drumkit section of Hammersound also.

Sleepy Emp Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 LooPKiD, I posted a link at Mythril Nazgul's request that you might find useful several pages ago in this thread. Have a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Guyford Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Looking for a theremin sample. I have a VST so far that does the job, but it doesn't sound authentic enough. I think it's probably the best I'll get, but I'm just wondering if somebody knows where something better might be located. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already had squidfont, just didn't realise it had what I wanted. Roland Orchestral Rhythm is quite good as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've uploaded the first version now in 256kbps mp3 and wav format. ChimesA.mp3 Edit: Geocities keeps invalidating the wav format. If you really need the wav format I could send it to you directly. The high encoding of the mp3 sounds good though. I'll try to put up more free chime variations or kinds when I get the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmony Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Thanks Gray, the .mp3 sounds great and should work just fine. For anyone else interested, there are some nice windchimes in the Roland Orchestral Percussion soundfont on the site that Gray posted a while ago: guraydere.com. They sound good but they are already preprocessed with some reverb and panning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navi Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Free ethnic samples, especially ones as uncommon as those, are not easy to come by, if they even exist. I recommend slapping some dough down and purchasing some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
