Big Mono kit - Test .dsnd files for sharing with all you lovely forum types...

[Baby Samus]

Hi all,

I'm just getting into creating kits so I thought I'd share a few sounds with you guys to see what you think.  These are just some of the Big Mono kit samples, which I ripped out and changed into 2Box sounds. Take note that no post processing or effects was done on the samples - they were just put straight into .dsnd files. Also they are only made of 16 samples per zone I think, take this into account when using them but I find the sound and response quite pleasing.

As I say this is my first go at creating a basic kit for a specific sound, so be gentle!  I find the legacy 21" ride on the 2Box complements this kit well so I just use that and a swiss crash.

PS there is a typo in the snare sound, it says Rogers's instead of Roger's - I noticed it but I can't be bothered uploading again!  Enjoy!  I will try to add more as I refine the process...

EDIT:  I have now made versions of the toms and snare with double the amount of samples per zone (and of course double the file size!) - not sure if they sound much better or play better, but I'll let you decide - here are the new links to the 'HD' versions

These sounds are great
I tried to convert them myself, but on my dsnd files there's some noise at the end
Perhaps your sounds are better
I will give them a try
Thx

Thank you Baby Samus, I have downloaded these. I will try to upload on to my "Brain". This will be the first time I try this so I will need to read the manual first. Thanks again.

The only noise I notice in the samples is the the room ambience/accoustics after a hit, but these aren't meant to be dry samples - the room accoustics/tape transfer is what makes these sounds come alive for me.  Aside from that I'm not sure what you mean?  After putting these together I've played the kit quite a bit and didn't notice anything sounding strange or odd, but I guess this might also depend on your curve/trigger settings.  To me it seemed to play naturally and trigger okay.  The snare could use a little more work and some more samples (I have more to put in now so I will update this) but other than that it's fun to play which is the acid test for me.

Anyway if you like this kind of thing and want more, bump me some Karma and I will try my best!

i think puttenvr was suggesting that the dsnd files HE created had unwanted noise.

Anyway I loaded your files in to the brain, and they worked perfectly. It is so easy to load in too! I have only had the kit 2 weeks and it is great fun!

Thanks for these files.

Yeah I know, I just thought that if we both recorded the same samples then we would get the same problems, and maybe he had picked up on a problem I had missed.  Anyway glad you like the sounds!

[puttenvr]

Did you use the 2Box tool, or the DSoundTool 1.0  ?

EDIT:  Added new links in original post to alternative versions of the toms and snare which have twice the amount of samples per zone.

Thanks for the sounds and the job.

At 10 you will levitate...

Uhh? But what did you do the first time? Reading this ...

they were just put straight into .dsnd files

And why is the 13 inch tomtom now larger than the 16 inch floor tom?
Or does the link from the 16 inch floortom redirect to the old file?

Well spotted Putt - I f*cked it lol. Link now fixed to more recent file.     Checked all the links again and they seem okay now...

 :)even better Baby Samus!

There is a very interesting point:
If you listen to the dsnd files in a wav editor like Wavosaur, they sound very clean in their endings.
If you put the sounds to the 2box module, they all have noise in their endings. Even the 2box Stock sounds have these noise. Where does this come from?

... yes , i had the same thought yesterday ... like a distorted resonnance ...  could it be an issue with the "looseless" compression ?  it sounds like a bad dithering ...

Mopsi ... lets start a thread on this...
