DM Lee Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Just so nobody wastes their time like I did (especially since the download takes a long ass time, and there are four of them and like me, many would want all of them because how good they sound in the description). Dont get the wombat solina vst's. There is a trumpet, a viola, a violin, and another one... I can not get anything out of these instruments that soudns anything like what they are supposed to sound like (not only that, but I compared the viola and the trumpet one and they sound almost exactly the same if not exatly the same and I am sure everyone knows how different a viola and a trumpet are). Sigh... But yeah, dont waist your time, though they are usefull for really cheap and ugly sounds if you want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM Lee Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 http://www.novakill.com/ Most of the synths that come here are really good but there is one that seems very harsh on your speakers. Almost every preset on one of these goes waaaay out of sound range causing major clipping. (im sure a hevy compressor would hep though you want something as good as possible before using any effects on it, so I just stay away from that one, I will find out the specific one tomorrow and let you all know) Check these out and you probably should not be dissapointed as I use these often. My personal favorite of these is the EGOkiller as I use it in almost every mix right now (tweak the "wide open" preset, its already pretty nice) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rellik Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Yeah, out of all the Killer series, Ego is my favorite... although I don't like it all that much. Still, it's better than "MIndKillEr" or whatever it's called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM Lee Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 The thing I do really like about mind killer though is that it has two filter lfos that work by measure, so you cn produce some pretty nifty effects on your sounds. I find the filter on egokiller pretty lacking, I wish it had the double filter option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xelebes Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Time to request a shitty GM soundfont. So here it goes: What is the worst GM soundfont around? I'm doing an EARmix... so... yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM Lee Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Just use midi instruments and record the sound direct, I am sure most crappy gm fonts are made as improvements over the stuff on your soundcard, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xelebes Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 They're not. =( I don't know how to implement MPU-401 sounds and have the thing NOT clip or sound just bloody... Fine, I'll just use the cheapest presets I have on my synth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazygecko Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 I once had a program that could play back .mid files with its own FM sound that are similiar to old Adlib cards... You could try that. I forgot what it's called though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM Lee Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 you could use average sounds (soundfonts) and then mess with the tuning on it or just use a light ditortion on everything in your entire song. Or highly compress the entire finished product until everthing is close to a blur of musical sound... not sure if this works or not (max compression, max compresion ration, no attack high release, very high amp in the end and maybe a distortion as an extra amp). Should some pretty crappy stuff... Ill try this out on an old mix and see if it destroys all dynamics and sound levels like I am thinking it may... oh, you could also cut the lows and highs a bit to decrease the dynamic range even more.

Wallace Guyford Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 I dunno how much help this is to you, but the Fruity LSD thing has some kind of default midi bank in it... it sounds positively awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xelebes Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 NSKit 7 is here! For all you people who like realistic drums... I haven't checked it out but meh. LINKY!!! http://www.natural-studio.co.uk/nskit_download.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vega12 Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Well, this seems like a good place to find soundfonts... Does anyone know of any soundfonts that have good instruments to use in ambient-type songs? LousySpy posted a request on page 5 with a link to a clip from a Metroid Prime song. Anything like that instrument would be great... in fact, a lot of the stuff in Metroid Prime is good ambient stuff! Sorry I can't be more specific, I just need stuff to work into some of my ambient songs to make it more ambient sounding (go figure ).

Xelebes Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 I don't recommend soundfonts, or soundfonts specifically aimed for ambience. Any soundfont will do as long as you learn how to process the sounds. Experiment with the soundfonts youu have and play around with phasers, flangers, delays, reverbs, distortions. This is how it is created, the cool deep ambient sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberwulf X Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 http://home.clara.net/fworld/sinfonia.htm I use the Sinfonia pack for rendering my composed music. A few tweaks for your custom needs, and it's near-perfect. It's a big load, so watch your comp usage and volume levels. For an example of something VERY roughly done with this pack, I point you to two things I created, then only recently rendered. Edit: I'm using the free version. I expect that you'd have much greater options and quality with the full. http://home.millsaps.edu/~spearls/music/EchoOfHearts_B.mp3 Echo of Hearts. I wanted to try out the brass. It's a quartet: Two trumpets, a trombone, a tuba. I don't think I added too much on top, other than a general reverb. Unpolished. http://home.millsaps.edu/~spearls/music/AperioMvt1.mp3 Aperio. I was comissioned to do this by a good friend. It's not polished, but you can hear what'll happen if it gets too loud. Added concert hall reverb and live equalizer controls.

TheShroud13 Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Are there any passable general MIDI soundfonts, nothing incredible, just something I can use that sounds somewhat accurate, and doesn't drop out all the time on an SB Live! Value? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beatdown Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 I'm kinda pressed on time and too lazy to read the earlier pages so I don't know if it's been mentioned, but can anyone direct me to any good guitar soundfonts? I need at least a good lead and bass guitar, something that could be used for rock/metal type music. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
