Hey guys, glad to be here at audiosex, didn't know this place existed until a friend referred me to it, happy he did.

Sorry to have my first post be selling something, no worries, not gonna be 'that guy'

I have just released a sample pack that I made and would like to let you know about it here.

Here's the info:

Killer Boomers Kick Pack

A sample pack containing 185 high quality files of seven different kicks, multisampled and covering bass notes down from C2. There are at least two octaves worth of samples each for seven different styles of kick, all inspired by the classic Roland TR-808 boom. These samples have been meticulously synthesized and processed, and are recorded with plenty of headroom so you can gel them in whatever mix you would like to put them in. Each different kick features different tail lengths, harmonics and dynamic behavior so you can pick just the right kick for your track. There are also seven sampler instruments premapped for Live, Kontakt, and Logic users out there, for easy plug and play usage.

Why not just get an 808 sample and pitch it, you ask?
Depending on the quality of the sample, pitching an 808 sample can sound pretty terrible. Some are low bitrate, and do not transpose well, some have tape distortion or some other analog effect applied and when pitched sound 'off.' Sometimes, you just want a short tail, and pitching samples up results in an unuseably short kick; while pitching them down results in distortion and a longer tail that you desire. This pack contains one sample for EVERY note at least two octaves below C2, so sample stretching is no longer necessary.

CONTENTS

185 x 32 bit .wav files
185 x 24 bit .aif files
7 x Ableton Live Sampler Instruments
7 x Kontakt instruments
7 x EXS24 instruments

Check out the demo below, no dynamics processing on it, so its a bit quiet. I wanted to make a demo that showed exactly what the kicks sound like, and not necessarily what could be done with them.

This pack is available for the bargain price of only $6 here

Cheers, guys! Lemme know what you think. Look forward to hanging out a bit here on your forum, it looks like a good place to me.

 

You wanna get attention ? Make it for free...
Then when you're known around, you can come with other "commercial" products and why not... "custom made".

My two cents.

 

This is a DOPE KIT!!! Definitely worth the few bucks... Looking forward to future releases

 

I appreciate the opinion, but I think you may have my motives misconstrued.

I am not trying to get 'attention,' as I don't have a website to promote, an album released, or anything to really draw attention to. I am not planning on releasing a lot of sample packs, as that isn't really my thing. Therefore, it is rather doubtful that I will 'get known around' as you say.

What I do have, however, is a quality pack of samples that I took a lot of time to put together, and that I feel would be useful to many other people. This pack costs less than a pack of cigarettes (or a tall latte if you aren't a smoker), and is infinitely more useful. I think it is fair to charge a small fee based on the quality alone whether or not I am 'known.'

Honestly, were the pack to contain just one of the kicks, 24 (or 30) samples total, I would've likely released it for free. Given the amount of time it took to get all 185 samples 'just right', I decided that I would charge for them. If I do decide to release some more packs, many will likely be free. Given the amount of positive feedback I have been getting from this pack, I am definitely encouraged to make a bit more.

Not trying to be confrontational, just wanted to explain my reasoning.

Cheers and happy music making

 

I'm glad you like them, would love to hear how you use them! It may be a bit before future releases, but I will be notifying all the buyers of this pack when they come, so you will definitely know.


EXS24 AND KONTAKT VERSIONS NOW AVAILABLE!


What other formats would people find useful? I don't have many samplers, but I know a TON of people who produce, so I can whip some up if people would like.
