To all the composers out there. Just trying to tap this wonderful resource that is the IDM mailing list.
I'm looking for a good page to find good drum samples. samplenet isn't what I'm looking for, I've d/l everything from music machines etrisine is dead and I've pretty much gotten everything from kalava. I really need to find bizzarre drum sounds, and maybe a few hip-hop sets just 'cause I like that groove style... I've tried creating stuff with drumsynth and stomper but it's still not quite what I'm looking for. Anyone know of any ftps of good sites that would help me with this???
Next, I'm wondering if anyone has purchased anything from Paia??
http://www.paia.com I'm looking into purchasing a vocoder and they seem like a good deal 'cause I'd like to learn about electronics, but I was wondering if anyone has purchased from them, and are they a good quality?
As for programs... anyone had any experience with Granula or Amen?? Like what do they do and where can I d/l them from... from what I've heard, amen takes drum loops and rearranges the peaks, which would probably be a nice prog to have. And from what I read about granula, it makes everything sound like sand or clouds... if there are sounds like that....
I'm also looking for a computer based vocoder for the pc that records input to wav. orange vocoder is mac only and I haven't heard of anything else.
Thanks again to all of the people that keep answering my q's... IDM list rocks.
