Hello,
I'm Clément Guedez music and linux addict and I have a request about samples
you are nicely sharing.
Sorry to send the mail to more people that needed, but the mail link for
sound exchange doesn't point to anything.
I'm actually enjoying a sampler software called linuxsampler:
http://www.linuxsampler.org/
It's an open source version of the famous Gigasampler/GigaStudio software,
which use the DMA technology to access samples directly from hardrive (even
if the begining of each sample is in RAM). It allow very big samples bank as
you are not limited by your computer RAM but your hardrive. So this sampler
sounds more realistic. It's has been developped on Linux (as most of the
open source software), it works on Windows and MAC OS X also.
As example a piano's bank of 2GB is available and offer a very good sound:
http://www.linuxsampler.org/instruments.html
We are trying to provide free sample banks with the software, in respect to
the original licence of the samples. As this project is open source, the
sound bank should made for free samples, and with free rights.
Actually there is several keyboard available (piano, harpsichord, wurlitzer,
accordeon...) But no orchestra saddly (only one saxophone....)
So when we find the samples you were providing we were very happy, as they
are a very good basis for our project.
But there is little problem: the sample you provide are in mp3 which is a
loss codec (there is a lost of information and sound quality). The sample's
bank format we using (*.gig which is the format of GigaSampler/Gigastudio),
keep the sample in raw format, something equivalent to PCM / wav / Aiff,
which are lossless codec (the information is the raw sampled sound like
after the analog to digital converter).
So it's a bid sad to convert mp3 to wav for putting them in a quality sample
bank. Also We see that you were proposing very good tuba samples in aiff
format which is a lossless codec.
We would like to know if you have your orchestra note samples in a lossless
codec (aiff / wav), and we wonder to access them in such format to create
our orchestra banks.
Let us know if it's something possible.
Regards
Clément Guedez
