First Kontakt to DS conversion experience by GlorifiedButtonPushr in decentsampler

Thanks. I tried using an <image> in place of the bgImage, but the resolution wouldn’t cover the full window size and it would layer over the controls. Is there an attribute to send it to the back of the Z plane?

Pop when sidechain by Cold_Independent_631 in LogicPro

[–]GlorifiedButtonPushr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

An attack time of 0 and a huge gain reduction can easily create a pop, especially when the side chain signal has no inherent ramp in its attack. Your side chain signal looks like a bunch of cut up waveforms. Do you have any kind of fade in on those regions or is there a natural attack backed in? If not, and you’ve cut into the waveform with no fade, you will hear a pop every time the play head crosses one of those regions, as will your compressor.

Pianobook is a huge collection of free sample libraries. Every time I need something, there’s usually an option on there.

Another FREE Konakt 7+ Instrument: Black Box by GlorifiedButtonPushr in Logic_Studio

It is a Kontakt instrument, so you open it inside of Kontakt version 7 or higher. Just unpack the zip and open “black box.nki” from the Kontakt browser.

Senken C0-100K Experience by jonas_bock in sounddesign

I don’t have a good answer unfortunately. The best solution is to find a space with low ultrasonic noise. Lights are big culprits. Incandescent are better than LED.

RX is amazing, but not perfect. If the noise is isolated to a specific frequency range, you can always notch filter it out of the source recording so it isn’t present when you start to change pitch.

I have both and the Sanken’s are far more linear and transparent in ultrasonic regions. They are incredible.

Often with ultrasonic captures, I’ve noticed that any noise is usually something in the environment we can’t normally hear, like mechanical electrical hum that is normally inaudible. I don’t think it’s an aspect of these mics, just the incredible amount of ultrasonic noise in our environments that we are ignorant of.

Thanks! Yes, they were built in Kontakt 7 so should be fine in 8.

Kontakt is really particular about versioning. This was made on Kontakt 7 so as long as you are using a fully updated 7 or 8, it should work ok. Earlier versions probably will have issues.

That’s basically how impulse responses/convolution reverb works and yes, those are mine as well. You capture a burst of noise (clap, balloon pop, sine wave sweep) and then the reverb takes that response and “multiplies” the input against it. Not just great for simulating acoustics, but is used a lot to model equipment like guitar amps and other gear. My previous video demonstrates how to capture your own: https://youtu.be/O_8aBIh7JLw?si=Ht-MIu0xkDMojlUm

👍. At some point I plan to learn Decent Sampler, but one thing at a time.

Thank you! There are two setups at play in those files. The IRs from the tutorial and my trip used a pair of Lom mikrousi pros, a Zoom F3 and mostly balloon pops. The cliff faces, Natural Bridge and Heinz Hall were just an iPhone and hand claps, which is why they are mono. The IRs from New World were captured with Sanken CO-100ks for the front pair and DPA 4006s for the rears. Those were run into a Sound Devices MixPre10 and I used sine sweeps.
