I spent endless hours on things like this. I learned in detail how not to do music. It was the same trap most people still fall into: focussing on irrelevant detail. Cutting one thousand snare samples, then thinking about how to name these, creating semantics that allow you to find something again quickly….a year passes just on building a sample collection and not one song gets done.
Mike Daliot, from “Presets. Digital Shortcuts to Sound” by Stefan Goldmann
“Hi… a little treat for the scene… I sampled 256 samples of the real deal (SID6581R4AR) using a HardSID 4U Studio version, taking every percussion sound I could get my hands on from all of Hubbard’s tunes… They were painstakingly sampled and edited one by one, playing back the original tunes, searching for them and muting irrelevant channels while sampling, taking about a weeks time (on/off). Use them for whatever you want, as long as you do not sell them or anything like that” (Razmo)
