Hey all Over the last few years I’ve been collecting multisamples of the best sounding drums I have recorded. I’ve decided to put them all together as sample packs and release them over the next few months. These drums have all been recorded in multiple tunings and are delivered without any...

Hey guys. I hope this is the correct forum to put this in. This is the latest track by my band, "Smokescreen". We are from the East of the UK. I tracked and mixed this all at home. This will be on our next release in 2013. I'd love to hear what you guys think. It's just a streaming mp3 for...

Digidesign 003 rack unit for sale. Based in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, UK. Pick up and postage OK. Great unit to interface with modern DAWs. Never had any trouble in the years I've had it. A little rack rash but nothing serious. £325ono. Hit me up on here or sam@nastudios.co.uk or...

Hey guys! My band, Smokescreen's first video was released today, check it out and see what you think! Everything was recorded and mixed by myself and mastered by my boss (JP Braddock). Let me know what you guys think!! Sam

OK then. I'd like a snare drum with no natural decay that sounds 100% like an artificial reverb. Anyone got something that sounds similar?

Hey guys. Does anyone have the sneap snare sample, or something similar without reverb? I like using it but the reverb always seems to get pushed up when compressed and it sounds a bit nasty! Cheers

Broken cymbals make killer clocks. Go to a garage sale and get an old clock and put the mechanism in. Same words for cracked or scratched vinyl.

I have: Alesis Quadraverb - £50 Alesis Midiverb - £50 Digitech S100 - £50 Poastage will be £10 within England but can sort out something for overseas. PM me or reply to this thread.

Are these samples worth the money? At £50 I guess it's worth a gamble. One problem that I anticipate is whether the samples are copy protected? I use 3 different computers depending on the project and location. Will i be able to just copy all the samples to an external hard drive that i can then...

Great soundcard, works on both PC and Mac. I've had it for a few years but have since moved to a laptop therefore no longer use it. 16 channels ADAT in 16 channels ADAT out. Also SPDIF. Any questions just ask. Offers?

I've done some work on the vocals with some reverb and delay. I've also taken a lot of high end off the kick and added a bit of 3.5k for a bit of attack. Let me know what you think. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=992106

The 1st guitar is a Jackson Dinky thru a Marshall TSL with 4x12 miked straight in the centre of the speaker with a 57. 2nd guitar was same amp and mic but an Epiphone Les Paul. Glad you like the song! The drummer is very very against using samples as he wants more of a 'jam' natural sound...

Cheers, I appreciate your input. The vocals are just a rough guide at the minute, it's actually me singing and i haven't got round to doing it all properly yet. Do you think more compression/reverb would help? Sam

I've been recording my band lately and would love to know what you guys think of my mix. It's not finished yet so I'm open to criticisms and would really appreciate some feedback and advice on where to go next with the mix. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=992106 I...
