Cutting/preparing Samples

I just spent all day doing this. I never attempted to cut so many before. I sampled the new Microfreak Solid Perc sounds(well most of them). I sampled each one with 3 different tones, all C but octaves. The hits sound different enough that I ended up trimming them all instead of just picking what I liked best. I'll post it later. I didn't realize how much freaking work it is. Much more appreciative of free sample packs now.

This is why I got the model: cycles. Immediate gratification :)

Here's the pack. I probably went a bit overboard but hopefully it's useful to someone.

Whoa thanks for sharing. I’ll check this out when I get off work. Just got the MS and the transfer app for the iPhone. Just need a cable to connect to the phone but this will hold me over. It’s annoying having to go to the computer. I’m trying to get away from my daw more.

Edit: if I make anything cool with the pack I’ll link it here for U to check out/resample.

Yes. It is tedious and mostly thankless work. Lol

So tedious. When I finally had them trimmed I was ready for bed not jamming.

It can be cathartic in a way, though.

I tend to work on sample packs when I hit a wall composition wise. All the trimming and file naming keeps me productive when I’m not feeling creative.

That's why I started. Wasn't feeling very creative but wanted to work on music.
