Sabian Fierce 13" hihat

[Slap the drummer]

Ok I've made a .dsnd, havn't played it yet but it sounds good on my laptop.

So - where can I upload it to share?  It's a 67mb file.



PS - Roel, you just have to split the file into separate chunks first

[BURNIN AMBITION]

you are the mannnnnnnnnnnnnn
mediafire seems cool!!!
thanx for the effort my friend

Ok, can you explain how you did this? where can we download your dsnd file?

[BURNIN AMBITION]

i guess he has to upload it first. mediafire is a good host for these things.

Here is a link.

Had trouble with the foot splash samples so I used the closed edge sounds (foot chick).

How did I do it?

Take wav from Krillo.
Open in editing software like Sound Forge or Audacity (free).
Within wav, sample hits are all in consecutive sequences.
So split the wav into a number of smaller wav files - one wav for each sample type...
I.E. - one wav file for all the closed edge hits, soft to loud, for example, and so on....
Re-name each small wav so you know what's in it - e.g. "Edge, fully closed",
"Edge, quarter open", etc, etc, etc

Edit - also convert to 24bit at some stage.  SF has a simple tool in the menu bar that just
converts from one to the other.....  should be same in Audacity.

Now you have (in this case) ten different files.  Each relates to a type of strike, and contains
all the different hits from soft to loud for that type of strike.
Then just make a .dsnd as usual with the DSoundTool.

Thank you for sharing.

I will try this soon.

[BURNIN AMBITION]

you are a god i will try it soon (will need a couple of days. and then report back here. but i am sure it will be awesome!thank you

[roel]

thanx man!

[edtc]

i tried the Dsound ... 

@ krillo : nice sounding hihat , thanx ...   

i think it could be improved a bit by adding some more hits ( maybe 10 or so)  and also one more opened layer .... but it s allready allright

@ Slap :

thanx for converting the file

unfortunatly i ve noticed that on 75%open edge , layer 2 contains 2 hits .... 

[Slap the drummer]

Yes thanks for sharing these great sounds Krillo.  Really love all that "growling" texture in the
open hits!

I think I'll redo the .dsnd and fake up some extra hits to tidy things up a bit.
And fix the duff layers if I can.  Was having similar trouble with the foot splashes
even though I manually inserted 1 second silences between each hit.

.... so if you spot anything else wrong in the next few days let me know.


And just for the hell of it - what would I have done differently for my own personal tastes ?   

Well, since you're asking.......

I'm guessing the hats were recorded as set up, but I would have liked a set of closed hits with the
hats locked down tighter for a more clipped sound option.

And a set of hits that were fully open and free to decay for much longer - this last point because
for me, the classic open to closed hihat sound works much better with the electronic module when
the more fully open hits have longer decay times..... something to do with the way the module
operates to truncate the sound when the pedal is closed perhaps.....

The decay times are always very short in both SD and BFD (hihats this is) which might be better for programming but not so much for 2box files

But hey, these are just preferences.

[Krillo]

Cool

Now that I know more of how it's done for the 2box, I will keep that in mind the next time around.

[roel]

does anyone has made a better version of this sample? It sounds very good, only foot splashes doesn't work quite well.

[alpererdogan]

Can anyone put the file to other servers? I am trying to download the file since 1 week
It always says "All free download slots are in use. You can download this file immediately by upgrading to FileFactory Premium. Otherwise, please feel free to try again shortly." I hate this kind of sites...

[Krillo]
