Amygdala Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Share your shit. If you sit on something good, give! Don't lock up potential in your own private stash of swag, if the world could benefit from it. The cost of uploading a file is sooo infinitely close to zero, and the joy of a nice juicy sample is priceless. A producer and friend of mine (NASA, shoutout done!) recently told me, that he asked one of the big accomplished artists for the Hallucinogen signature hihat. The reply was: "it's a very rare sample". And nothing else. Well, no more. Enough of that! Lets make it un-rare: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15984873/ShareYourShit/RareHats.aif Got something digital and rare? - A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balance Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 What's the signature hihat you speak of? Is it the one that simply sounds like it's been run through the a MS-20 filter? It's not hard to replicate. And seriously, it's just a hihat. lol. The term "signature hihat" is hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veracohr Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I sampled the sound of my juicer because I noticed it had a definite tone and I thought I could put it in a sampler and play a melody with it. It didn't work out too well, but that would probably be a rare sample! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amygdala Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 What's the signature hihat you speak of? The first one. I sampled the sound of my juicer because I noticed it had a definite tone and I thought I could put it in a sampler and play a melody with it. It didn't work out too well, but that would probably be a rare sample! Indeed - I did the same with one of those whistles on a boiler. It made a pretty good pad, but mono...

Raferi Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 https://soundcloud.com/kontrolphreak/raferi-express-your-mind-clip Something I'm working on. It's just a 2:20 min clip. But it's quite nice. Some full on mixed with some nu-disco/synthpop. The rest of my channel has a mix of industrial, psytrance, and hardstyle. So follow me if you wish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padmapani Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Can we hear it...? sure. the original sound the processed version that i used as fx a potential percussion sound i also got out of it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amygdala Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 sure. the original sound the processed version that i used as fx a potential percussion sound i also got out of it Fun - I like getting weird stuff from weird sources. I once waited 30 minutes by a big road for a truck to come by. I had a tascam stereo recorder with me, and actually got a pretty good sample - after some processing: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15984873/ShareYourShit/PassingTraffic.aif 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purple Sunray Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Latest one (not mastered yet and will get some better mixing before release..

If that means no-strings-attached, cleared for take off, then hell yeah - grab it and go! Dishwashers can be really good. I have a large dinnerplate that makes my dishwasher go "ka-plunk-tchii-ka-plunk". That could work... - A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Eye Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I have some 16 hours of random recordings from here and there in India. Too bad the Zoom H1 was a piece of shit (a "handheld" recorder you can't even hold in your hand unless you want shitloads of plasticy handling sounds on your recordings too...) so quite a significant part of the recordings are somewhat ruined. And I really have no idea what to do with the sounds. Maybe I should edit out the garbage and put them up on Freesound or something but I'm not sure I have the motivation to do that. Meh.

Veracohr Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Now that I think about it, I have some ocean and forest recordings I did a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balance Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Taking a break from the craziness in life for this post. Anyway yeah when I lived in the city center here I always used to give some spare money to this homeless bloke. He never spoke except to whisper a thanks & his begging style was very shy n' unobtrusive unlike many others. A few years back I asked to interview him for a community radio show I was doing on homeless ppl. I took him for lunch in a park, he had many problems from mental health to abuse as a child but he said some wonderful things about the beauty and magic of life as well. I got his permission and used to use those parts in my house/breaks/Chillout/IDM dj sets for segues that didn't mix well otherwise. I also got him in touch with a good psychologist friend who saw him for about a year weekly for free. Not sure what happened to him in the end as he disappeared but best sampling I had. Out of respect when I lost contact I don't use the samples anymore. Sampling live sources of sound for me is very fun but also tidying it up even on solid equipment gets tiring & frustrating so now if I can find an already mastered sample that I have in mind I just buy it or the pack. The Omnisphere program I've used at a friends place is a pretty amazing vsti for strange and experimental sounds. IMO though no software is worth $500 unless it's a pack of some kind.

Amygdala Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Wonderful story, thanks! Let's just believe that life panned out well for him Recording and tidying takes a while, yes - I only have something like 6 hours a week in the studio, so outside-the-box stuff is at a minimum... Sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
