EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi,

Does anyone know where I might find a gentle, hypnotic seashore sound? preferably for 
free but I'd be prepared to pay a small amount for it.

Cheers,

A.

Do you still need these? I just found some nice stuff on DAT but it will 
take a couple of days to get round to sampling it, I'll do it if you 
still need it. I was going to get round to it it sometime anyway but if 
its useful I'll do it sooner rather than later

Can I have  them, too? Could you, please, let us know when you upload them? I for one can wait as long as it takes until you have a free minute to sample them. Thanks in advance.

Best,

Andy

Hi,

Firstly, thanks for the offers via email from a few contributers, I don't check my mail often 
so didn't realise you'd mailed me off-list.

I already have a few clips but won't know if they're any use until i begin work next week. 
I'm putting together a therapeutic/hypnosis CD for a client and the only brief I've had so 
far is to find some seashore sounds to lay in behind his spoken words, he particularly 
wanted the high frequency sound which ripples across the beach as the wave recedes.

More later, if I recover from the deep trance of listening too many times!

Cheers,

A.

This is an important, ambient issue and as I have stated, I've spent some 
time tweaking the Apple files with Logic's plug-ins and with some 
astonishing results...
If you are still not satisfied, check this:

http://homepage.mac.com/katsura/shareware.html#OCWV

Besides doing hypnotic cd's, which in my opinion is an important issue, 
die to the dayly distortion of our fellow's brains...

You might want to take a look at this:

http://www.beelinetv.com/

Take a pair of headphones and listen to to the sounds behind the news, 
how it is  done, how it is spread around the stereo field or even 5.1? 

There' some money folks

I've uploaded a short version to:

http://www.petethomas.co.uk/logic-exs24-samples.html

This is Apple lossless conversion of 44.1/16 aif file. The whole 
recording is about 67 MB. If anyone wants the whole thing I can upload 
it Apple lossless will cut it down to about 60% of that or else I can do 
an mp3

I'd gladly take it if you ever made it available in Apple lossless.

Best,

Andy

you can use a website called _www.yousendit.com_ (http://www.yousendit.com)  
and this will let you send  up to 1 gb of data within one link of an e-mail. :)

It's uploaded, about 33MB.

I moved it from the free stuff to the donate stuff which I think is 
reasonable in'it?

It's quite nice stereo, like the mics were perpendicular to the 
shoreline so the waves go from left to right.

Perfect! One of the most realistic ambiances I've ever heard. Thanks so much again, Pete!

Yeah, I definitely owe you a CD with my production featuring the sound, of course if you care to listen :-) . BTW, where was it recorded? Somewhere in UK, I suppose?

Best,

Andy

Is there any way I'd be able to read (= decompress) this file on a PC?

iTunes is available for both platforms. Don't know if it can handle it on PC, but it's the only way AFAIK.

iTunes for Windows might do this.

I've just put a (hopefully) high quality mp3 up there as well, that 
should do it.

Just did it with iTunes "convert to Wav" function.

Thanks again! Will download that and have a listen first!

Hi Pete,

This forum is new to me and the ambient sound of the ocean is wonderful! 
When I clicked on it to download, it open up a page of giberish on my 
computer.  Is there a recomended way to download this file?  I am on OS 10.3

Thank you so much for this wonderful work.
Derek

There's a cute app called Melody Assistant, goes for 15, handles quite a bunch of formats

You either need to tell your browser not to open but download certain filetypes (wouldn't happen to know how to do that on whatever
Mac browser) or option-click the link and then choose "save target/link as".

Control-click that is.

Only downloaded the MP3, Pete - but I've got to say that this is a very nice sound!
Maybe I should try finding some proper looppoints and make an EXS patch out of it.

Many thanks!

Yes, I think it will loop very nicely, probably on a pebbly bit.

There are thousands of free sounds including seashore sounds here:

Free Sounds - http://www.sounds.beachware.com

In fact, I recorded or made almost all of them. Though they are fairly low res at 8/22, but small in size.
