TR-909 Sample CD



http://www.discoverysound.com/en/DFSD...
In an attempt to follow on the successful footsteps of the popular TR-808, the TR-909 added a more equipped synth engine (especially in the envelope department), a better sequencer, digitally sampled sounds (most notably its cymbals), and improved output electronics. This gave the TR-909 a distinct and full sound without sacrificing what made the 808 groove so well.

Discovery has captured that sound, and offers you each individual drum hit with all possible parameter settings in this collection. We also provide those hits processed through our arsenal of outboard effects and studio equipment. Discovery also gives you classic TR-909 drum loops. Over 70 minutes of material are found on its 66 tracks. Your dance tracks will thank you! Listen to what KEYBOARD has to say about Discovery's TR-808 and TR-909:

"All the classic 808 and 909 drum and percussion sounds have been faithfully recorded. As for sound quality, it's as good as the machines themselves. These are some of the quietest 808/909 recordings we've heard. Discovery obviously used 808s and 909s in great condition. Realism City! Classic old school ballad beats and skippy speed funk to 16th-note pop grooves. There are some really fun beats with pirch-bent cymbals. These are very useful!"

Technolama 2 - Spiritual Tech by Discovery Sound




Made another demo using the Technolama Sample CD available at Discovery Sound, Loopmasters, and Big Fish Audio. If you are into old school techno then this a must have classic in any DJ or producer's arsenal of sound.

Though personally I have grown out of the techno crave, it is still fun to mix with and "loop around" every now and then.

8 Bit Family Sample CD Sneakers

Do you remember all those pings, bongs, and tweaks in the old 8 Bit video games? Well over here at Discovery we took all those classic sounds and made the 8 Bit Family series sample CDs. Both of the CDs have been best sellers year after year.

Now I have decided to make a pair of shoes from those awesome 8 Bit characters that really made the sample CD series take off.

As most of you know I recently started a t-shirt shop over at Spreadshirt, but the only downside to that was there was no way to make sneakers. I did a little bit of researching and found that Zazzle offered this service. So now I have two stores. lol.

Trust me. You want to be wearing these retro sneakers the next time you go to a party. You will be the center of attention and better yet, since I have started wearing these sneakers, well lets just say they are Asian babe magnets. Don't ask me why. If you wanna take a closer look just click on the picture and it will take to the Zazzle page where they are available.

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.

The Shami Kami Starwars

An electric collection of human voices, electro/acoustic musical phrases, and an assortment of edgy beats that takes techno to a new spiritual realm.

Who says techno has to be sterile and electronic? Technolama takes the best of high-technology and marries it with the acoustic world. Imagine the sound of a saxophone with cutting-edge rhythm programming. Its a deeper brand of techno that blends electronics and acoustics. "Technolama" will surely become the light at the end of the tunnel for those in search of something fresh.

KOTO - Japanese Ethnic Sound Samples

http://www.discoverysound.com/en/DFSD...
Kontakt |RNS
Koto's 13 strings bring elegant and spiritual sounds that mimic stillness and motion as does the 4 seasons of Japan. You will feel as if it is you who is playing these warm, dynamic tones.

An ancient Japanese musical instrument comes into the spotlight again. The Koto is not only used in traditional music, but also modern day composers have also used the instrument in collaboration with orchestras since the early 1900s. Koto captures the pure sound of Japan and will flood your ears with various sounds.

Koto was used in old Japanese court music to sooth the body. It has been said that this instrument could purify you mind, body, and soul. There is an opening in the bottom of the Koto which releases the sound that seems to penetrate your body.

The DVD-ROM was recorded with the player facing the Koto using the correct posture and emotional display to achieve the high quality 96 kHz/24bit sound. You can hear many basic play techniques such as types of chalking, finger slides, pizzicato, and arpeggios all inside 1023 files.

The Koto sound is as quite as the moon, cherry blossoms, and the surface of water. It has a lightness of flying butterflies and the sputtering of fish, but has the strength of thunder. Its 13 strings bring elegant and spiritual sounds that mimic stillness and motion as does the 4 seasons of Japan. You will feel as if it is you who is playing these warm, dynamic tones.

The overflowing rich sounds of the Koto were by no means for the enjoyment of music. During a time of ruins and decay of ancient times it may have been known as an intellectual sound source. But with the Kotos inspirational sounds from its creator resonating with mankind will bring harmony into the new age.

Sell Your Music Samples Online at Discovery Sound

Sell your music samples online at Discovery Sound is what the title says and that is what it means. I am opening the doors to all musicians, producers and composers out there who want to promote their music and make a little money on the side.

The new Discovery Sound website one completed will allow you to sell your music tracks worldwide. What makes this different from every other site out there? Well price for one. Sure you could go on over to Apple and sell your tracks for 99 cents. If you sell a million copies you might be getting somewhere. The fact is 90 percent of us will not sell a million tracks on iTunes.

Most of the people who buy tracks from us are large corporations who want to use the sound, BGM, music, etc. in there own productions ie; TV, radio, video games. A measly 2 minute track usually sells for around $30. Yes that is not a misprint. The artist is guaranteed 50% royalty for the sale. This is only one track.

Some of the music we are looking for is:

BGM
One-Shots
Loops
MultiSampling
Jingle
Drum Beats

If you are are interested in promoting and spreading your talent please send your samples to overseas[at]discoveryfirm.com and let me have a listen. If I like what I hear you will definitely be hearing back with an offer.

Download Tuva Khoomei Samples on Loopmasters

The sample CD Tuva Khoomei is now available for download on Loopmasters. The download is packed with the Tuva native throat singing, Khoomei, native string instruments like the Doshpuluur and the Igil, and many more hard to find samples unless you are planning to take a trip to Tuva anytime soon.

The original sample CD is still available here at Discovery for those of you old schoolers out there who like to still have the master on hand. But if you don't like waiting in the mail for a CD to arrive then get on Loopmasters now and download the files in minutes.


Tuvan Sounds on the disc:

KHOOMEI :
A type of throat singing with a distinct fundamental and an overtone melody, used in folk music from Tuva.

DOSHPULUUR :
A three-stringed instrument with fretless similar to a banjo, but with the warm, organic sound of wood and goat skin.

IGIL :
A two-stringed, bowed and fretless instrument. Deeply connected with the mythology of the horse, the most important animal in Tuvan culture. The Igil sounds like a cross between violin and cello, and is often used to imitate the sound and rhythms of the horse.

BigFishAudio.com Gets a New Look

Big Fish Audio (BFA) is one of my biggest distributors in the U.S. and are constantly updating their website to provide the latest and greatest from the sampling world. Recently the site has taken a whole new overhaul and if I might say a step in the right direction. The website is a lot easier to navigate and the the layout has improved 10 fold. I think the Google bots really like it because within a week of the new look Big Fish was already a PR5.

As most of you already know the days of waiting on a sample CD in the mail (though still some of like having that hard copy) are soon going to be history with the digital age taking over and BFA is already in place to provide producers and musicians with instant access to some of the hottest samples available.

Big Fish will still offer the original sample CD packs as well as downloadable versions so they will definitely have the best of both worlds until the CD eventually becomes an inadequate item.

You will find all of Discovery's sample CDs available on the Big Fish website and soon available for download as well. So what are you waiting for? Get on over and check out the latest and greatest from BFA. You'll be glad you did.
