I would be very > happy to turn your samples into soundfonts :-) These I made some time ago from a Fender Telecaster: http://gnupc.de/~zettberlin/law/samples/free/telshow-tele/ the samples are 44.1/16 only and made up to fit my personal needs. That is: I use them in Specimen to build new virtual instruments, not to mimic a real guitar (I prefer to play those myself oldschool ;-) ). Right now I am about to record riffings and other sounds from the metal domain. Hope I can upload some of those next week. >> Repeat: I need feedback *includig* advice on what I should do better. > > What equipment and mics do you have? http://lapoc.de/lapoc-gear.php the page is in german only (sorry for that...) so here an excerpt: Mikrofones: * RFT DM 122 (dynamic spheroid, for acoustic guitars and drums) * AKG Perception 100 (condenser cardioid for voice, strings, piano, percussion etc) * Samson C02 (electret for cynbals and drums) I have a small collection of lesser mics also but use those quite seldom. I also use to borrow mikes from friends and colleagues as needed especially if I run sessions with drummers/complete bands. Preamps: * a phonic mixer MM1002 (better than its price suggests ;-) * a Presonus Firebox (very very OK I dare to say) Of course the Computers are all GNU/Linux and Ardour, the interfaces are the Firebox and a MAudio 1024 Audiophile. > Well... my suggestion and wishes are samples at the higher sample rate > and bit depth that your hardware allows, and very long in time (if > possible, the full note decay).

To make a drummer play a cymbal and actually *wait* and be quiet till the decay ends is a different matter though ;-) But most of the samples should be separate. Some of them have strange resonances in it for we have recorded in a room with 10 treated pianos. And there may be a minimum of hiss for we needed to use a very long cable. Hope I can make some more next week without such (maybe) unwanted extras.At the other hand these extras add some tasty life to the samples... > Don't bother in cutting the samples, just record into a big wav file > with all the samples one after another, separated by one or two > seconds of silence. That helps a lot: if I only need to record one big file and only cut unneeded silence/noise when changing instruments/microphones/settings, the recordings will keep coming ;-) > To get an idea of the result, could you please create a few demo > samples of a clean electric guitar, for example? OK, I got these: http://gnupc.de/~zettberlin/law/samples/free/telshow-tele/ I will record some more in the next two weeks... best regs HZN -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFI04kw1Aecwva1SWMRAoGtAKCLv2uni9iCESpUwhJzoNtsX9Y3jwCeIWl2 /e/oqtVH3TTaD4yhGVU0Uuw= =6032 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
