Studio Pak Pro Ultimate Drums Audio Sound Sample Library Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Still picking my way through this kit. I got a good collection of sound but it's getting harder to find a kit that comes with the entire kitten kaboodle. I'm very pleased with the kit a good bang for the buck. 500 samples plus the free kit it came with was more than enough. I wouldn't say this kits for people expecting to make push button tracks. You gotta put your work on. I layered some of the drum samples and tweaked him right into my MPC and it came out nasty. for forty bucks the kit was well worth it vs. other kits I've seen for the same price that came with like 32 sounds. I just needed lots of sounds and this kit delivered it for me how good they are depends on how good you are. It's the producer that makes the difference. I've spent hours diggin through records to find one snare or kick I'd like chop cut and edit it. With this kit it was more like a library nah I say like a warehouse of sounds waiting to be customized. I ain't complaining I just need more time to sift through it all.

Sony Acid Music Studio 8.0 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Your level of creativity is the only limit with this great value program.
I downloaded the FREE trial of this software from Sony Creative Software and mucked around with it for a whole month, to see if it would do the things I wanted. I am using Acid Music Studio 8.0 to create sound effects and soundtracks for my YouTube videos and my multi-media video artwork.
This program would suit the home musician or the musician just starting out with a limited budget who would like a professional program to record and mix their music.I warn anyone who is creative, that this software is Highly Addictive. You can spend many, many hours exploring all the inbuilt synthesizer preset programs and tweek them with an infinity of different settings contained within the Fx Effects chains.
You can also use the 3.5 Gigabytes of loops and samples that come with the "purchased copy" (not available with trial), to construct your own music in just a few clicks.
Please note something once you have downloaded the "loops & samples":
In the explorer view tab of Acid Music Studio, make sure you click the View button and tick all options - especially tick "Show All Files", otherwise you may freak out and think that you can't access the loops and samples.
This is a MIDI file based program, actually a very large part of the program. So if you want to make the most of using Acid Music Studio 8.0, then get a MIDI to USB connection so that you can connect a Synthesizer Keyboard to your computer. If you do this, you gain amazing control of the program and can control the inbuilt synth on your computer.
You will have to be patient in learning how to set things up, if working with connected instruments. There are a lot of little settings that have to be set just right for the sound & MIDI files to communicate in both directions. There is a fairly good Help file which will teach you how to do things, but as they say: Rome wasn't built in one day!
This product really seems to have hit the mark this time with Version 8.0
I use it with Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum HD 10 production suite and it works just fine.
I'm not a musician, just a novice.
Whether you are a novice or a musician, I'm sure you will love this program.
Ridiculous value for money - honestly.
I hope this review can help out a little bit.
Regards Dex.
P.S. I had problems downloading from Sony once, however my Customer Support Request was answered immediately and the problem was resolved in just a few hours.

Propellerhead Reason 5 Upgrade Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)From my first exposure to Reason (Adapted that came with an audio interface purchase) I've been a devoted Reason lover. In my opinion there's never been a more unique, or software stable, music creation tool. If I lived to be 90 I don't think I could fully realize the potential of this program.
Now with the addition of Record the program is a complete audio workstation. It's difficult for me to separate the two at this point but I believe the two newest features that are part of Reason 5 that I've found useful are the Kong drum designer and the sequencer blocks mode. I've already created a Combinater that takes full advantage of Kong's drum sounds and effects coupled with the step programable features of Redrum, awesome!
The blocks mode within the sequencer is quite helpful for organizing songs into sections but still the only complaint I have with the sequencer is the lack of position markers.
Reason continues to be the most inspiring music creation program I've ever encountered and the bottom line is it's just plain fun to play and experiment with.
