Can you recommend great sample packs to get drums and synths that sound like these tracks?

Thanks in advance for the suggestions!
Also, what genre is this?

 

it's house music. and it has many of the progressive, trance synth elements (and crescendo drum rolls, washouts, up/down risers, lifters) that you would expect with it being tiesto. samples... what size hard drive are you going to fill with them? It might be more constructive to chase the plugins themselves. The vocals are obviously studio made creations. The rest shouldn't be that hard. Roland Cloud 808 or even Falcon2. You could do most in Kick2 but wouldn't need to. The Washouts are Dada Life Endless Smile, or the combination of plugins to get this result.

it's in the fx/automation details and not in the samples. that's where all the work is no matter your starting sounds, because it's actually not that complex a song (minus vocal). hth.

I have 2tb SSD I know how to work on these sounds however the primary sample source I'm using isn't correct so I can get a good result. And I'm one of them who loves to go crazy with modifications and EQs @clone

 

I know, but often users expect to just drop things in and have them be perfect copies, ala The God Particle. I really doubt he is using any samples at all for his productions. And by "sample" I do mean "audio files someone could come at me with their hand out for money later".

So why not go right at the source I think the progressive trance style sounds could easily be done with virus, but they are not edgy enough where it would need be. Maybe even a Roland JP or Spire,etc type something? The Mids are nice/warm, so turn on the Moog. Anyway I hope you get my point. I'd be hoping for tips to get samples I have to sound like these, not search terms to find more of them. You still have to make them fit.

Yeah the synth event at about 3minutes is the cotton candy (melody and synth patch) you would not likely hear in house music. It's definitely progressive/trance influence, as is the bpm.

Did you check the Tiesto sound banks for Virus TI in the DSP56300 emulator?

I've never heard of this "Tiesto sound banks for Virus TI in the DSP56300 emulator" what's that?

 

https://dsp56300.wordpress.com Is the website for the Emulator plugin. Or you can get it on Sister Site with ROM binary files included.

Tiesto did at least two Soundbanks of presets for the Access Virus TI. https://www.virus.info. So it is 254 Patches made by him to use in the synth. Some are quite good. They are just called DJ Tiesto Soundsets Volume 1 and 2. Maybe he did others also.

i don't like tiesto new sound
lethal industry and adiago for strings were fat tracks

 

I'm downloading the emulator and the soundbanks, but I can't find a Virus Ti ROM to get the emulation working

Yup but time goes and so does everything

 

They are not using a TI Rom. They are using the A/B/C roms, iirc. Google this one: virus_c_650x352.bin

The emulator was not really made to be a TI emulator, but the older Virus models. They added TI patch import functionality to it so the TI patches can be utilized in the Emulator. In general, the patches work great; but some just give undesirable results (usually just no sound anyway). So you just load another and keep going.

 

I managed to find ROM B & C, however, the instructions say to use one ROM at a time, How do I decide which one to use? Is it based on a preset type thing or soundbank requirements? btw thanks for your time man!

 

well, to be brief more than accurate; the rom is basically an image of all the code which a digital synthesizer runs to make everything work.
there are definitely "low level" differences in the ROM files, because they are what were created by Access when they updated the Virus models. But also after they were shipping them, so some images would have been released by firmware upgrades, etc.

The individual roms may have slightly different presets, and the users have figured out all the details which ones run better; or even just which ones they personally prefer. You'll have to look into the details. But when you hear this plugin, you'll invest the time on it for certain.

You just need one file at a time in the same folder as your plugin, afaik. Or you can rename, or other tricks to run multiple different roms. there already are some long threads to read.

Hi, thanks! The synth works when I play the midi notes, but when I playback the written section, the sound works only in multi-mode, I'm using Logic Pro on mac os Mojave

 

I reset my midi setting in logic and midi playback works now. Thanks for the help guys @Benno de Bruin @clone I'll check out the mentioned packs too

Vengeance packs for every kind of drums in electronic music

 

I've a couple but which one do you think suits this track?

 

I wish XLN XO was less tedious, or I might have bought it for almost this purpose alone. You could chop a sample from a song, and use it to track down the bad guys. Like facial recognition, but for sample comparison against your sample library. Then look at the "near" or approximately similar files.
