im looking for a good one hit drums sample cd. i am willing to pay, i actually want to! im tired out poor quality free samples. kicks similar to those used by artists such as alot of the newer trance styles. not so much clubie hard stuff but stuff like activa, alt + f4, above and beyond, and almost all the songs for free download in the trance addict singles area like GTR and Sonorous

This question has been asked a million times here before.. use the search button next time before starting new threads like this.....

But I'm gonna be nice to you anyways..
The most common sample-cd's around is:

Vengeance Essential Clubsounds Vol.1
Vengeance Essential Clubsounds Vol.2
Vengeance Minimal House
Eubershall Essential House
Eubershall Essential Trance

I can say for sure that the Vengeance CD's are one of the most common ones for this modern trance-stuff like A&B etc. Sure it got some good sounds, but in the end it's how you use the sounds that matters. Skills to produce quality tracks doesn't come over a night (or with a new sample cd).


Cheers,
Dave

PS. PLEASE use the search button next time, the forum is getting sooo crowded with allmost identical threads wich makes it a real hassle to brows..

BTW while we're on the topic of sample CDs anyone know a good sample CD set for Arabic Classical Instruments? Possibly Spanish stuff as well? I'm interested in producing some Ambient for the background music for certain game mods. I'm really into Arabic stuff atm and couldn't find any free samples of it on the net.

im not new to any types of forums so i expected to get flamed haha. im just really pressed for time to get my gf some bday ideas. i already knew about vengeance before so a second opinion really helps. searches in most forums sucks ass so i didnt even try. next time, when i have more time, i will.

I've been looking at this:

Not really for trance, though.

well as for the vengeance essential club sounds... which one number 1 or number 2 would you guys recomend. the sampe from the first one sounded a lot more clubby and hardstylish. like i said im more in to producing more serious stuff similar to what armin is playing in a state of trance nowadays.

I really like the "UK Trance" kicks on VEC2. Lots of good hihats, claps and other samples too.

I haven't tried the Synthation Producer essentials CD, but the audio demo sounds nice.

I have VEC 1 and VEH 1 and don't expect to get big nice CLEAN kicks out of it. Most of the kicks are simply sampled from tracks and have significant fragments in them (rendering them useless for my purposes). I haven't tried the Synthation CD but apparently the kicks in that have similar problems.

The point isn't to "get out of your body", it's to bring awareness to your consciousness while you're experiencing another reality.

To my ears the UK Trance kicks on VEC2 are the cleanest of all the directories in Clubsounds 1 & 2, which is why I tend to gravitate towards them. A lot of the others have a lot more processing, gate effects, reverbs, hihat/other fragments etc.

Bruce, what do you use for ready-to-use, clean fantastic kicks? What are the best you've found, if an artist has no desire to build their own from the ground up?

I'm keen to pick up the synthation CD at some stage, but I'd like to hear your recommendations!

I haven't heard the UK Trance Kicks on VEC2 but yeah, like you mentioned, most of the other ones that I have heard have fragments.

I'm yet to hear a sample CD which has any kicks like the ones on the Vengeance CD's but which are clean. I think you really have to start with a clean sample and build your own. So far I have been using 'Drumazon' from D16 which is a good 909 emulation and working from there.

I'm still not satisfied with my results yet though (which is probably due to a lack of skill more than anything else) and of late I have been tempted by the Jomox MBase which is an analog kick machine. I think this machine will provide me with the rich clean tone that I have been craving.
