Yeah. That instrument has dropped a LOT in popularity the last few decades. Unfortunate name. Cool instrument though, I’d love to try to blow one.
Is that an Oboe?

Om Unit just dropped a pack of Vermona DRM mk IV drums, might be interesting for some of you.
Costs £8, prolly gonna go for that.
I fell into the gadget trap. Too many gadgets, not enough attention to production detail. This might ring true for sample packs as well.

Hence why I deleted 70% of my sample collection. Too much too much
Haha, I’ve basically just started “collecting”. Been fine with using the stock stuff in Reason for all these years, but lately I’ve started sampling things myself + been using loads of samples a friend compiled. Just a couple of gigs.

I did the whole new producer thing of downloading every and all packs that were on offer. And then proceeded to use the same 27 samples for every track

this is 100% work-of-others-free. i mentioned previously that I tend to work subtractively. I make too much stuff bounced in place as waves, with different effects on each render, so that way i can remove all those plugins from the session. It’s so they are no longer loading into memory/cpu. Audio streaming of one file is nothing compared to even the simplest vst plugin making noises.
so when it comes to other peoples samples of anything, I am already deleting things I personally recorded. Other stuff is the first to go. You have 0 attachment to the file in the first place, so you can delete them mercilessly.
2022 dubplate. This song is about a novel by Daniel Silva. The book is about Art fraud, money, murder, and spy Gabriel Allon. Because I don’t get paid to sing either.

btw I did not post the two tracks to spam them or anything. They are the same project that I put a sample into, and then deleted it. Deleting and Replacing samples in your project can help you move your project along to completion after the sample helps you get “unstuck”.

Nothing wrong with that. I got plenty of packs as well. now it’s time to use them. Some of my packs aren’t even dubstep related. it’s gonna be interesting how the packs comes together with effects/ mixing/ controllers/ etc.

There is a drummer I know, a man without fame who is professional.
He taught me what paradiddles are.
Left, left, right, left, right, right, left, right, left, left, right, left…the sequence continues.
I can only do them slowly.

Nah nowt wrong with it, but I quickly found that quantity does not equal quality. A smaller collection of carefully curated samples works best for me. Why do I need 137 closed high-hats? I don’t.
