Sample CD Tees by Discovery Sound

Discovery Sound has gone and done it. Turned its sample cd collection into Sample CD Tees. Now you can wear those authentic ethnic logos on a Tee and show off that love for world ethnic music.

The name of the store is Sample CD Tees and you kind find it over at Spreadshirt.com. I just did it as a joke, but was surprised at the reaction the shirts have gotten.

I just opened the shop last week and already the sales have been rolling in. I am still in the process of getting all of the sample CD images made into tees and by the end of April there should be a really good selection to choose from.

Anyways I know I don't have a lot of readers, cause let's face it, sampling community is small but loyal. Thanks to all of you who continue support the sampling industry and Discovery Sound. Looking forward to another great 20 years. That is right we turn 20 in August. We been around the block a few times.

If there are some items that you want made into tees feel free to contact me anytime.

VinyLism - Spinning Records

Here is a demo I made using the Vinylism sample cd. There are so many variations record spins on this sample cd that I could probably make 10 more videos with it and still not be satisfied.
I added some video footage I bought online. Trying to sync the video with the demo I made was super hard. I will probably never attempt that again. I know DJs and Vinylists would love to get their hands on this badboy.

Hope you like the video, but I hope more that you enjoy the music. If you want to make something similar, here is the link the sample CD.

Sound Spiral

http://www.discoverysound.com/en/DFSD...
215 WAV files / 215 REX2 files
Ever since Discovery's sound effects CD series Effective Sound was announced in 1996, it has continuously set sales records. The classification of numerous sound effects into the six genres of Life, Industry, Traffic, War, Animal, and Nature proved extremely useful for producers around the world, which lead to the production of this compilation sample CD. On this CD are the sounds of industry (from factories to research institutes), of nature (land and sea), of war (weapons firing and of a battlefield), of animals (mammals, reptiles, and insects), and much more. Its a whirlpool of global sounds and textures delivered to your desktop. The potential for using these sounds are endless...from pop music and soundtracks to background Foley, sound logos, and beyond.
