EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi,

Certainly not as good as any Spectrasonics material, but I was just using
this old loop in some new song and found it to fit well - even if the
original recording was done using lousiest mics and some cheap mixer in a
bad sounding rehearsal room. Allows for more or less drastical tempo changes
though.

Unzip preserving directory structures and copy to your preferenced EXS drive
if you have one (to let the EXS find the samples automatically).
There's three instruments, one for everything but the kick, one for the kick
and one combined instrument. You will also find the appropriate MIDI files
inside the zip. Makes dragging them into a new arrangement easy.

Regards,
Sascha

Can you post the link to the upload location?

Hi Sascha; nice sounding loop. Did you record this yourself and do the chopping
up and exporting to EXS with Recycle 2?

Huh?

That should do it, no?

Yes. Was recorded for some old-ish band demo (as said, very cheap mics too).
I then bounced two tracks (kick and rest, when bouncing the two together
recycling wasn't working that nice) on a friends machine (I still don't own
ReCycle, allways have to annoy people...), chopped them and exported to SF2
and a corresponding MIDI file.

Maybe I will do that for some more loops as well, we'll see - I just wish I
could buy ReCycle right now.

Regards,
Sascha

Sorry for the oversight. Thanks for the response.

Very nice! It's not easy to find live kits with a such a strong, thumpin'
feel. I find a majority sound far too thin. This has a lot of spirit. Thank
you. -Jer

But you were the one that pointed me to WaveSurgeon. That the program that
works for me very well (and even did stereo files when Recycle still could
not). Has XP something to do with it (i'm still on Win98)?

I know this is slightly OT concerning EXS, but let's not forget the good old
"back to the basics" approach. I have tremendous success using the good old
fashin' strip silence feature right from within Logic.

Get a loop looping smoothly, use strip silence having it create as many slices
as possible (in the arrange window) and set it to a long release time. Then
pack the results into a folder. Voila; a poor man's groove control. I find it
works great for changing tempos up or down a good thirty percent. You can
tweak it even more by playing with fade in/outs from the fade parameter box
with all the slices selected.

Sorry for re-inventing the wheel here, just didn't want to let this basic and
useful functionality go unacknowledged in this current thread.

I'm also still on 98SE, so I don't know.
I still use WaveSurgeon too, but actually ReCycle has some very nice options
(such as gating and equalizing things. I know, WS 2.7 has that smoothing
feature, but RC still is pretty much more advanced.
Also, upcoming REX support directly inside Logic and the EXS is another
strong point.
Of course, so far I will just stick with WS - but whenever I have the option
I'm heading over to some friend to recycle some loops (fortunately the
closest one just lives 200m away).

Sascha
