beckett007 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Hello All, By now most of you are familiar with my cinematic style here at OCR. I've been using custom samples for the last two years and have decided to start producing and releasing my own custom sets of samples into the wild. This first release is called Dryer Drum of DEATH: REQUIREMENTS: FULL Version of Kontakt 4.2.3 Please note this library WILL NOT work with the kontakt player... sorry. What is DRYER DRUM of DEATH? It's your average every day dryer which has been meticulously recorded and turned into 5 multisampled kontakt instruments. Surprisingly, this library is geared toward building cinematic tension / suspense, creating eerie cinematic percussive ambiances, and helping to augment high octane action cues. There is even an included delay complete with built in step sequencer that TEMPO SYNCS to your host...you're welcome . Overall It's a great library for creating tensions. DRYER DRUM of DEATH Features: -5 Kontakt instrument files -3 to 4 Velocity Layers for most samples (be sure to try different velocities!) -Multiple hits from a metal dryer (some designed) -Sample base is unlocked -Reverb pre-added for added epicness -Built in kontakt delay arp that tempo syncs to your host sequencer -Mod wheel controls the attack to get even more dynamic control -Cost: FREE, I was going to charge $15 for it but decided against it Even though this is free, if you feel like you'll get some use out of this instrument set, donations are appreciated in whatever amount you see fit. There's a paypal button via the link below for ease More info, the full manual (with a detailed license agreement), demos, and of course a download link to the library itself can be found via my webpage here: http://richdouglas.net/projects/dryerdrum.php Enjoy, and rock on!

beckett007 Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 Thanks guys! This is just the first of many. My next libraries will be commercial.. but the cost will be nominal ($15 to $20 per library). Here is my main sample page, should have my first commercial release out within a couple of weeks or so. Stay tuned! http://richdouglas.net/projects/samplesets.php Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShrackAttack Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Really good sounding stuff. I'm curious about kind of mics you used though? (If you don't mind telling me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Do some Celtic flute samples with atmospheres/ambiences and I'll be your first lifelong customer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnetic Ether Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Any chance you might release any of these in soundfont format? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckett007 Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 Meteo, NICE idea... the irish whistle has been added to my list of future releases. Of course, bear in mind that as my libraries focus on tension this would not be your basic irish flute sample set. It'd be pitched, mangled, and tweaked. However, I'd most likely have a patch with some normalish ambient phrases for ya . Kuolema, nope... unfortunately there is no chance of a release in soundfont format. These libraries highly utilize Kontakts amazing built in features making it tied to that format. Sorry! Shrack - Thanks! As for mics... I'm honestly just using a tascam DR07 field recorder. Great little device. The magic here isn't reliant on the raw recordings, it mainly happens in post and scripting. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could make a melodic one that someone could actually use - since there is a dearth of them available individually, a really good one could boost your business significantly.

That's not really his niche though; He does something very well and is focusing on that. I really want to hear some good hip hop remixes, but I'm not about to ask you for some.

Fair enough, I just didn't want him going to trouble to make these other samples that weren't really something I could make good on my promise for.

beckett007 Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 Fair enough fair enough, to each their own. I, however, am mainly focusing on atmosphere and tension building with my libraries. We'll see what happens! I have a newsletter link up on the main page: Also have a company facebook page set up. Be sure to like / subscribe to get the latest updates!

Archangel Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I've downloaded this! Thank you so much! I really appreciate all the hard work you put in this library, and I will definitely check out your other work. It looks like it's going to be more than worth the measly 20 dollars. =D Thanks again!
