zircon Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 I'm clearing out a lot of my sounds because I'm spending a ton of money on a new computer setup, and I need all the $ I can get. Here's the list. * Garritan Personal Orchestra - $150. This is the "first edition" meaning it came on 4 CDs rather than 1 DVD. However the sounds are identical, and if you go to the Garritan website and download the free update you'll be at second edition. Fantastic orchestral library - it has served me well (see: Nightmare Before Kefka). * Quantum Leap Brass, East/West Ultimate Pianos, Quantum Leap Guitar & Bass - $20 each or $50 for all three. These are versatile sample CDs in older sound formats, but can be converted easily (and for free) to formats like Soundfont. These were hot libraries a few years back and are still very usable today. In particular, QL Brass is tops if you aren't willing to spend $500-1000 on a specialized brass library. * Steve Smith Rhythmic Journey - $15. Well-rounded acoustic/rock drum library. Comes with loops in different tempos AND a very good kit w/ multiple velocity sampling. Oneshot WAVs means it's very easy to use with FL and Reason. I'll be sad to see this one go. * Tascam Gigastudio 3 Ensemble - $50. Speaks for itself. My Windows XP installation is screwed up and I couldn't install the drivers to run this, but for any non-screwy computer it will work fine. If you ever wanted to beef up your sounds this is a great place to start... also comes with OVER 10gb of gigasamples to get you started. * Bela D Media Studio B - $100. This is a Kontakt 1-format library, so anything that imports Kontakt 1 files will play it. NOT an encrypted library either!!! It's a several gigabyte collection that contains three well-recorded, thoroughly multisampled instruments; clean electric guitar, drum set, and bass guitar. This is a great lib - the drumset comes with 8 mic positions so you can adjust how much bleed you want, the e. guitar lets you control vibrato speed/depth and harmonics with midi control, etc. * 6 Sonic Capsules; Groove, Eclectic Drums, Acoustic Guitars, Electric Guitars, Bass Guitars, Studio Drums - $250 for all or $50 each. Each capsule is about a full CD of multisampled material (except Groove which is various drum loops). This is all Sonic Reality stuff (makers of Sampletank 2 XL, Sonik Synth) so you know it's high quality. NO sampler required - each comes with a universal installer to install to any one of many different formats, OR you can just use the bundled SampleTank LE VST sampler. Any of these are great ways to beef up your sound arsenal w/o dropping big cash on a library ilke Colossus. Post if you have any questions or if you're interested!

Anorak Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 I might be interested in Quantum Leap Brass. What format do you have it in? And how big is it, memory wise? (Although I suppose that figure would change if I were to transfer the files to soundfonts)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted January 21, 2007 Author Share Posted January 21, 2007 Converted to Soundfont, QL Brass is about 3gb. I have it in Akai format. The free demo of CDXtract will easily allow you to convert it to whatever format you want, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorak Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Cool, that's a reasonable size. PM me if you want to talk details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerrax Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 The Sonic Electric Drums interest me. I already have Sample Tank 2 but I have been needing some nice drums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 Er, Electric Guitar, or Eclectic Drums? There's no Electric Drums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sole Signal Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 May be interested in the Gigastudio 3 package; what kind of samples does it come with? Apparently you never used it, but do you have maybe a list of the included samples? EDIT: You might as well just PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robotaki Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 So is this first dibs or auction type selling? I also live in Canada so will shipping be an extra cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted January 25, 2007 Author Share Posted January 25, 2007 Whoever is actually serious and interested can PM me and we'll go from there. Shipping is whatever it costs to ship to your location Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sole Signal Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Well, after doing some research and looking around, apparently the Gigastudio isn't compatible with dual-cores or XP Media Edition, both of which I have. So sad. Guess I'm not interested anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whipsmack Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Hey do you know if Bela D studio b is compatible with Fl studio (i'm a noob and always will be) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 It's compatible with any Kontakt-compatible sampler. DirectWave, if you have it, loads Kontakt samples. However, there are plenty of other Kontakt-compatible VST samplers that load into FL if you don't want to use DW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
