Anderton Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 I'm wondering how many people use audio CDs and how many prefer other formats. I'm not talking about samples for individual samplers, but rather, for importing into DAWs and software. Please vote!

not Cereal Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 i was going to answer this thread, but i cant. i use an akai s2000, but i do not use cd's on it. i have a 250mb zip drive for it instead. its typically hooked into mesa on either my pc or mac depending on what the heck i am doing. (pc version is better DOH!) i guess when i get samples i prefer aiff or sd2 format rather than .wav i have to convert wav to get them into mesa except on pc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim P. Dyndale Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 Can't vote. I prefer AKAI s1000, because it's compatible with virtually every soft-/hardware sampler. I hate all pure audio formats for samples. Not very flexible... Giga is good too... -Joachim Dyndale -------------------- Einstein: The difference between genius and stupidity is: Genius has limits My Blog...

BP3 Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 I'd vote for AKAI as well with EXS24 as a second choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calfee Jones Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 For me - a tough choice between Waves and Acidized waves. I use the standard waves, but others at the studio like the Acidized waves. Hmmm.... - Calfee Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderton Posted January 6, 2003 Author Share Posted January 6, 2003 Well, considering that acidized wavs work just fine as wavs, might as well go for acidized wavs just in case you need to do time-stretching some day.

Chaz Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 If available on CD, then I convert to a wav file then import. Otherwise, I just record straight to the DAW through my sound card.

Alndln Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 Since I use Kontakt it almost doesn't matter,but I chose Redbook because I use odd vocal clips and stuff and don't really use Acidized or Rex loops,or any loops really.I'm sure I'm in the minority though.

Mr Darling Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 Even though I enjoy having the samples as audio on my computer, I still prefer Audio CD. Lately , the samples CD include both, so we audition the audio CD , then drag the wav part into logic. The rest of the case, I'll use my good ol' E-synth to sample the stuff... Never used Rex or any other format.. Yet :D Rotshtein Danny - Studio Engineer Jingles show-reel Visit DarlingNikkie.com To discover the sounds of "Darling Nikkie"(aka Jade 4U). . . .

FrankieP Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 AKP (S5000/S6000)... which should fall under wav format I guess. How come you left out Akai format sample CD Craig? Or maybe Giga... Audio format is okay, considering it'll put the price on the cheaper side, but a pain in the ass to cut it in smaller snippets. There is a nice freeware program that can do this for you, it's called [url=http://www.spacetaxi.de/sf/waveknife.html]WaveKnife[/url] which does the job pretty well. But I prefer to use Steinberg's Wavelab "autosplit" function for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
