Mark Zeger Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 What's is the one CD-ROM you can't live without? I recently bought a K2500RS with plenty RAM and it's time to pick up a few good CD-ROM libraries. I already have Kurzweil's Take 6 (unbelievable!) and Power Tools. I'm considering getting Spectrasonics' Liquid Grooves and Bass Legends - is anyone using these? What about Sampleheads Peter Erskine and the Will Lee discs (though not native format)? I could use recommendations for Kurzweil format CD-ROM guitars (w/loops), horns, and orchestral collections. I know I can use Akai format libraries, but I'm looking to do as little "tweaking" as possible. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_dup2 Posted March 22, 2001 Share Posted March 22, 2001 Wizoo's Magnetica! But I'm not into loop orientated music. I need good pianos. Check my homepage for a litte K2x00 sample (a Solina), some Kurzprogs that use the Magnetica Rhodes samples and some Kurzweil tips in german. Have you tried sonikmatter.com for more info about native Kurzweil sounds? ------------------ Marc This message has been edited by Marc on 03-22-2001 at 09:43 AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 22, 2001 Share Posted March 22, 2001 If you look for drums I think you should have a look at Sweetwaters Total stereo session drums. Very good!! ------------------ --Smedis,-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansouth Posted March 23, 2001 Share Posted March 23, 2001 I second the motion for Sweetwater's Total Stereo Session Drums. I use them on everything. I've never heard better samples of ANY instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Bryce Posted March 24, 2001 Share Posted March 24, 2001 Does the Sweetwater Drums CD-ROM contain hits only, or loops also? I have that CD-ROM - I don't think it has any loops on it - just kits. They are, in fact, spectacular samples. I've heard good comments about their guitars library also - is anyone using it? If it's the one by Jim Miller (who did the drums disc we're talking about, and a bunch of other stuff for Sweetwater as well) called Ultimate Guitars, then yes, I have that disc too, and it is also outstanding. Everything you'd want, and more... Jim does amazing work. I highly recommend his stuff. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
