Hi everyone,
I'm Noora from FI, and this is my first post around here!
And it's a samplepack release. I've had them lying around for some five months now, having been too lazy/ashamed/whatever to really release them anywhere, but since discovering this forum today I felt like making an effort for you..!
Here is:

Gravelight Cymbals v1

This is a dark cymbal sample set consisting of seven Meinl cymbals recorded by yours truly.
From the accompanying little readme:

Code:
7 cymbals, 70 samples in 44.1kHz/24bit pcm

Used cymbals:
- Meinl Byzance 6" Splash
- Meinl Byzance 16" Extra Dry Thin Crash
- Meinl Byzance 18" Medium Thin Crash
- Meinl Byzance 20" Extra Dry Medium Ride
- Meinl Classics 10" China Splash
- Meinl MB20 14" Heavy Soundwave Hi-Hat
- Meinl MB20 18" Rock China

Recorded with AKG Perception 400 + Sennheiser E945 at our bomb lair :b
Sample lengths are in 4ths of 100bpm, unless where I screwed up.
Not that it matters much.

Drop me a line if you find them useful! :)

The samples have been mixed & slightly comped but not EQ'd, they contain a fair bit of low due to the dynamic mic and I expect you to EQ them to your needs..
I'd appreciate any comments on this. I only spent some two hours recording them, and maybe 6 more chopping & cleaning up, they're not perfect but I think differ nicely from the more "common" samples.

thanx man, i love Meinls. i cant wait to go home and take a listen to these! thanx for sharing! check out my Meinl Classics 8in Bell, its on my sig! :)
 
Mmm, sure. I'm not a man though, a bro maybe :kickass:

I can re-record any of these at pretty much any time if you find them bad or need something specific.
The set has a fancy name because I actually use them in Reason/Record where I've made combinator/nnxt patches for them and rolled them into a refill, although I haven't released that anywhere either.
 
There are not many cymbal samples around here, so thanks for sharing this! I really like the hats :kickass: Since this is v1 I hope there will be a v2...

Meinl! :headbang:
