sampling from a rack

[aziaddict]

If you want to be an engineer and work with the equipments like that, than I would suggest you go for it. People think that the people that goes to those schools just want to make it big or let the school help them find a job in the industry. Some of my friends completely music school and started their own business. running studios of their own, mixing and mastering local artists albums and then it'll eventually lead on to more shit if you network. Either you go to school to get the training or you learn from someone that knows what they are doing. But if you make the music, I think that's just natural talent. Either you have it or you don't like the one dude said. So, School aint that bad. You need the fundamentals.

Now, as far as the samples are concerned here is why I say you shouldn't even worry about it. Take the motif es or the fantom X. Both of them use multi-samples just for the main piano patches. When you sample it you aren't going to get those same patches because one key actually has multiple voices of the sample. In addition you are going to get different tones depending on the velocity. If you use a motif es drum kit and you hit the snare key softly it might sound as if the snare is being hit on the outer edge. If you strike the key hard the snare is going to sound as if it is were being hit in the middle of the snare drum.

Now, if you are hell bent on doing this I would suggest using one of those NEKO workstations to achieve what you're doing. According to them you can dump all teh preset sounds an dother parameters from ANY workstation/module by making a few connections and setting teh appropriate parameteres within the neko workstation. That will be the QUICKEST way, but it will also burn a hole in your pocket because you're lookin at like 3 grand for the board.

My advice to you is to forget about those samples

I agreed with this yesterday, then today I ran across this on the Ableton Live board:

What do you guys think?

Also, a response to this link listed some alternatives, I'll just quote:

"There are currently a bunch of alternatives to this on the market. Sample Robot is one, I believe the new Directwave sampler does it too, and there are others as well. I have yet to try them, but I have a bunch of hardware that's just itching to get sampled, really.."

^^ That would be the quickest, easiest, and cheapest way if it allows you to sample an instrument and all its information (including nuance changes from velocity) in one pass. I've never heard about that program until today, so I'll keep an eye out for it.
