    BULLET DRUMS
    124 drum and percussion samples recorded with a Shure 'Green Bullet' microphone

    Originally designed in 1949, the Shure 'Green Bullet' is mostly known as a blues harp microphone.

    However, with a very reduced frequency response, creamy saturated mids, compressed dynamic range and omni-directional pattern, this microphone also captures percussive sounds like no other!

    This drum pack includes Kicks, Snares and Toms, Cymbals, shakers, tambourines and claves, bongos, Udu, Claps, Piano chords, Bells, Sticks, Flute, Vox, Found sounds, Woodblocks, and more... Full Sample list

    Have you ever wanted to take the audio output of one piece of software and send it to another? How about taking the output of that same program and send it to two others, then record the result in the first program? Or maybe you’re a programmer who writes real-time audio and music applications and who is looking for a cross-platform API that enables not only device sharing but also inter-application audio routing, and is incredibly easy to learn and use? If so, JACK may be what you’ve been looking for.

    JACK Overview
    Traditionally it has been hard if not impossible to write audio applications that can share data with each other. In addition, configuring and managing audio interface hardware has often been one of the most complex aspect of writing audio software.

    JACK changes all this by providing an API that does several things:

    1. provides a high level abstraction for programmers that removes the audio interface hardware from the picture and allows them to concentrate on the core functionality of their software.

    2. allows applications to send and receive audio data to/from each other as well as the audio interface. There is no difference in how an application sends or receives data regardless of whether it comes from/goes to another application or an audio interface. (between Windows and Mac)

    If this is ANYTHING close to WaveDNA's LiquidMusic it will be a real gem. I own the WaveDNA thing but it is too unstable unfortunately.
    Thanks for all the cool software links and ideas :) Great job!
