whatever works. i think the akai range sound good. none of the current samplers on the market score a 10, not even an 8. the akai's have great transient response, the filters are o.k., but it was the ram expandability that sold me the akai S5/6's over the new emus. not quite the same sort of possibilities as with the filter matrix on the emus, but even they still don't score high in fidelity in my book. it's all a matter of what you do with them. want a great sounding sampler, look for a EMAX II. outstanding filter! minimal sampling time even when they are maxed out with (gasp) 8megs, but they sing. dE3 www.polyrhythmic.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

"I know this is a really nerdy question but does anyone ever use more than 8MB on a track. I certainly haven't and I've never known anyone who has needed more even if they have 2 or 3 samplers running with 20 outputs. Why do people need the 128MB + sample RAM they have on all the new EMU's and AKAIs?" I don't have to reload between tracks. When I was using the Emax-II to play live there was always an awkward moment when I needed to change samples. Usually I disguised it with some other racket, but it was a hassle for me. Besides, having lots of room for samples, programs, multis, etc., lets me keep loads of different loops and sounds in the machine at any given time. It leaves me more room for experimentation. I can sample large chunks of audio and then beat it up later without having to worry about how much room I have left in the akai. I was always running into problems as far as space is concerned with the Emax-II. I still use it in the studio to process audio, etc., but live I'm all over the akai. For just hits and beats 8 megs will get you through the day, but for some reason i like more. dE3 www.polyrhythmic.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

For what it's worth, I have over 200MB of samples loaded at all times. You need that much if you want to have a full orchestra loaded, as well as extremely multisampled piano, rhodes, b3, keyboards etc... as well as loops, ambiance, ethnic instruments and percussion stuff. I don't know if I used it all on one track but its cool to have it at your fingertips at all times. If I wanted my entire sample library open and available at all times, I would need 18 Gigs of sample ram. Can't wait for when that's possible.

I know this is a really nerdy question but does anyone ever use more than 8MB on a track. I certainly haven't and i've never known anyone who has needed more even if they have 2 or 3 samplers running with 20 outputs. Why do people need the 128MB + sample RAM they have on all the new EMU's and AKAIs? BTW the original EMAX is absolutely amazing it has an analogue filter I was going to buy one really cheaply but the person reallised that he was selling it for too little. There is an EMU III XP or SP for sell, i can't remember what it is called exactly. Does anyone know much about it? What is the difference between it and the standard Emulator III?

People like to be able to dial-up sounds on-demand... for example: "I need a [insert adjectives] type bass sound..." ... a flip through the 128 megs of loaded sounds might give the person a start for constructing said sound.

Not perhaps totally applicable to this, but I use sample-based tracking software to write my music and the last piece I released was 9.2 megs of 16-bit 44.1kHz mono samples. Most tend to be around 4mb, but I have two tracks in progress which are around 8mb and growing... G-love. http://www.gram.org.uk

Yea, I have tracks that have gotten up to a little over 20 MB once I start sampling vocal phrases and such... I also like to record several different versions of the same sounds so that I can make songs a little less stale or sometimes I resample a sound through effects and have both different versions saved. I can see why people need to go over 8MB a lot of the time... I don't think I'd ever get past 128, though, unless I wanted to load multiple songs' samples at once and do a whole live set with it. -- :: atomly :: atomly@atomly.com | atomly@atdot.org | atomly@curiousnetworks.com http://www.atomly.com | http://www.mp3.com/atomly --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
