Free Sample Friday: Chopping Wood
Today's free sample Friday comes to us from reader Darren Halm. I'll let him do the honors:
"I have a bunch of samples I took yesterday of me chopping wood in my front yard. I'm actually whacking a heavy metal dowel with the back of an axe head. The resulting sound of metal hitting metal, coupled with some nice natural reverb from the surrounding lake and hill prompted me to grab my H4 and get them. I just roughly normalized and exported the markers in Peak, so they tend to tail out a bit; I figure most people are throwing them in a sampler with comprehensive ADSR so this wouldn't be a problem. "
13 sounds in all, saved as AIFF files. Be sure to check out Darren's music at http://darrenhalm.bandcamp.com/ as well as "The Wretch" on which Darren also appears:

Cool Source for Free Kontakt Sounds
If you're a user of Native Instruments' excellent Kontakt software sampler, you might want to head on over to Professional Kontakt Buildz, a blog that offers up free sample sets in Kontakt format. There's some pretty quirky stuff there, so it's well worth checking out for spots of random weirdness.

Insanely Impressive Realtime DSP on a Commodore 64?!
Matrixsynth posted this yesterday, but I thought I'd share it here as well for those who missed it. This is a live demo of "Cubase 64", a self-made program for the venerable Commodore 64. The C64 was well known for its synthesis abilities (the company that made the built-in SID chips went on to become Ensoniq and the SID sound has become ridiculously trendy in recent years), but digital audio was of course out of reach, right? Think again. In this demo, they're playing back not just audio, but they're performing realtime DSP on the audio. Just goes to show you can teach an old dog new tricks occasionally.
