Sound Library

Pulling more sounds from various formats into my Sound Library. These are for the new D.A. Sebasstian & The Inner Demons - Burnt Orange album and my new documentary Rats & Gassers: Kustom Kulture Takes A Ride. I am finally digging up all the good stuff for ease of use. This latest batch are sounds from my Korg DW-8000 andYamaha TG-33 (both sold years ago).  Before I sold them, I plugged them into my Panasonic AG-DVX100 video camera and played each sound set into the camera whilst filming the keyboards menu screen. This gives an easy visual identifier with the sound. When you want to recover you open a video editor and cut and export to .wav or .aiff  files. Great way to archive your old drum machines and keyboards. 

Sound Library Consolidation Project

As part of my ongoing Sound Library Consolidation Project- I have started recording real time audio transfers from my DAT libraries. Incredible percussion sessions, guitar sessions, studio loops and  strange instruments. I used to back all my recorded work to DAT Tapes (the standard back in the early-mid 1990s). Man what  a treasure trove! Sometimes I forget how prolific I am (was). Must be ten albums worth of material here!

Decided to start converting some of my massive Roland S-550 Sound Library to Reason 6 to use on projects. I used the S-550 all through the late eighties and into the nineties as my main sampler. It is very limited by todays standards, but with an external monitor and mouse system it was ahead of it's time. I have years of sound files to look through (all on 3.5 foppies!), nostalgic but useful sounds.
