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.

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.

Didgeridoo Meets Voice Percussion

Mixing the native Australian sounds of the Didgeridoo with crazy voice percussion samples. All sounds in this demo can be found on the Didgeridoo sample CD and Voice Percussion sample CD by Discovery Sound. You never know what kind of music you can come with when mixing all this samples.
