I don't want to spend time making a kick out of any of the samples because it just won't be as good as an actual kick. Other than that I think it would be more fun to all work with a small group of samples since this will showcase our different styles better. If we have 60 samples to pick from- no one will probably use the same samples so it will be hard to compare. I'm of course not going to argue if everyone wants to use the other samples as well- but I think it is more challenging working with a smaller sample set.

If all the tracks are good it would be the perfect amount for a 12".

Hi, Leon.
I specifically didn't include a kick or any drum sounds per se,
but my students came up with some great rhythmic tracks
despite this, a couple of awesome pieces in some cases,
so I would encourage you to take up the challenge and
*not* use a kick drum sample from elsewhere, but make
one instead from the material. The sample "basic" has
some great bass to work with, for instance.

Oh fine I'll make a kick. But don't expect me to make vocals out of white noise

Ok let us get this thing started! Here are the rules: No outside samples or recordings and use only the main two sample packs listed on page one. Let's go until the end of the month and have all submissions in by the 1st of March. Go!

Folks:
Due to a new class starting tonight
(with a different class #), I've had
to change the names of the two zips.
Please see next post for new info.
Thanks. Apologies for any inconvenience.

update:
A new round of the sound design/production class I'm teaching
here in Halifax NS Canada
(called Making Music With Computers by the college, thus
MMWC for short) starts tonight; focus programs are Ableton
Live and Native Instruments Reaktor; for the first two assignments
in the class, students have to mangle a limited pool of samples
using certain procedures; so that students use the same audio
starting point, I give them a bunch of samples I've made for
them to tweak. I'm also making these audio files (loops, hits,
some field recordings, etc) available to anyone else who wants to
use 'em (links below). If you missed out on them the first
time I posted about this (they're royalty-free), here's the download info:
http://andrew-duke.com/MMWCassignment1audio.zip
http://andrew-duke.com/MMWCassignment2audio.zip
(Important note: these are newly named zips; the old zip locations mentioned previously in this thread are no longer valid).

Course info: http://andrew-duke.com/course.html

All I ask is that if you use of my samples in anything that you post a link so
we can check out the results.

All the best with the production contest. Looking forward to hearing the results.

Happy music-makin'/sound-designin'.
