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

Yeah I didn't alter the volume of the samples so if you find them too quiet you would need to edit them in one of those programs.

Ok, no problem. This was the first addition to my sounds,( outside of the extras from 2Box), and I wasn't sure if maybe I did something wrong, or left a step out. It sounded loud enough when I previewed it in Audacity on my laptop with headphones, before I copied it to my SDHC card, so I thought it was loud enough. I'll just adjust the volume and then copy it back over. Are there any guidelines as to how loud to increase it, or is it just "trial and error" until it sounds right?
Thanks,

Make sure the snare levels are set high enough in the 2Box mix page, and make sure the snare sound is set high enough.  You can also try increasing the gain a little.  Do this before editing the .dsnd as it may just be a level issue.  Aside from that, edit them as you see fit!

It turns out that it wasn't a problem with the volume of the file at all. I noticed that not only didn't the Roger's snare not work, but I had several "stock" snares that weren't working too. They would register on the brain when I hit the pad, but no sound came out. I decided to put my original 4G card back in the slot to see if maybe those files got screwed up when I copied them over to the 32G card, and lo and behold those same drums wouldn't work from the original card either. I then went into the KIT > VOL section and started playing around with the volume, that made no difference. Then I adjusted the balance and as soon as I moved the position left or right I started hearing the sound. It just wouldn't work in the center. I decided to try the headphones, NOW everything worked. What the problem turned out to be was that I had my amplifer connected to the headphone out on the brain, but I have a MONO amplifier system. I moved the output from headphones to OUT 1 and now everything works! 
One thing though, I did try using Sound Forge in XP and Audacity in Ubuntu 11.04 and I was able to increase the volume of the waveform, but when I tried to save it there is no dsnd file extension choice in either program so I tried the "unknown" option in Audacity and typed the filename Rogers.dsnd when asked. It saved the file, it showed up in the brain, but there is no sound output to it. When we adjust a sound like this what do we use when given a choice for sound file type do you know? Do we save them as WAV files and then rename them dsnd?
Thanks,

Feeling all inspired!

Hello can someone please re upload that kit.

thanks

[Baby Samus]

Hi Pascal, I have re-activated the account so you should be able to download the files again, I will re-upload them and post new links soon....

[Baby Samus]

New links again to various kit parts, sorry for those trying to download before as the file sharing account gets deactivated if I don't log in every month!:

If you want the hats and cymbals I can do them at a later date, but the kit mixes well with various cymbals.  Enjoy.

Yes Iam interested in the hats and cymbals, these samples sounds great but they have a little hssh in the end.

[Pascaldc]

Thanks you very much Samus
i think the hsssh have to do with the tape recording
Analogue drums sounds great, i may get some other kits...

The strange thing is that the hiss hardly can't be heard when listening to the samples on your pc, but is present when played in the 2box module. See the discussion on the 1st page

That's correct, Is there a way to take away that hiss sound?

[Baby Samus]

Strange thing is that the samples were never manipulated, I just gathered them together and made the .dsnd files - the samples were never passed through another device to the PC so they should be clean - perhaps I could just post the original sample pack and you guys can make your own if you like and we can compare results?

EDIT:  Full sample pack uploading now, should have link soon.

This has been mentioned by other users, but also in this same thread we have members saying this happens with all the samples played through the module - I think someone would need to clarify this more if we are to decide whether the hiss you guys are experiencing is from the actual original samples, or is being introduced by the module.  Conversely there are some members who have downloaded the .dsnd files and seem to be satisfied with them.  I'm not that into the technical aspect of how the module processes these samples and whether any interference is being introduced at some stage in the triggering process, hopefully others can shed more light.

EDIT:  Big Mono sample pack full:

i'm having trouble to do dnsd of the cymbals with the editor ... its doesnt put them in the right order...

[Perico]

Hi Baby Samus!
Firstly I would like to thank you for sharing your dsnd files! They sounds great! Like other users I've noticed this hiss issue at the end of sounds, but in some 2box original dsnd files I can ear a hiss too even if it's quieter.
It's a nice suggestion to ask other members to do their own tries and look how it sounds.
By the way is there some user's feedbacks?
Otherwise could you share the hats and cymbals you've created? For now I don't know all the process to create those dsnd files with your originals samples.
Thanks!
