I am selling this for 0 pesos.
A newbie posted a few hours ago something that we do not agree with, however there may be members who are tempted by the offer. So I am giving philmusic members the 100% OFFICIAL and legit way to do it.
1. When we need a guitar or other live analog instrument track recorded we call our friends and contacts to come to our studio (kahit maliit ng home studio) to record.
2. Sometimes we have an idea in our head that NEEDS to be recorded at that exact moment. If your violinist or trumpet player can not get to your studio then we lose our great ideas and inspiration.
3. VIRTUAL INSTRUMENTS !!
Yes... we all 'KNOW' they do not sound real.. they sound robotic or fake.
NOT ANYMORE !!!
That was in the past... Today we have VIRTUAL INSTRUMENTS that are so close to real that only serious experts can tell the difference.
Today we are able to play back instruments that have had every note recorded/sampled... some of them have over a dozen recordings for each note ! This means you can play middle C and get 10+ different sounds of middle C !!! (often determined by velocity of the note)
Anyhow... TRY IT YOURSELF !!!
Here I will provide you with the 100% OFFICIAL free software from a few of the top companies I know of.
PLEASE CONTRIBUTE TO THIS THREAD WITH FREE STUDIO PRODUCTION TOOLS - however
PLEASE ONLY LIST FREEBIES FOR THE TOP NAMES (Yamaha, Native Instruments, Avid, Cubase, etc). There are hundreds of thousands of home made freebies that would only confuse members . . . if we stick to the TOP ECHELON and top brand names... it can be easier to swallow.
Package #1
First listen to this song that is 100% VIRTUAL INSTRUMENTS ! Not 1 live instrument is in this recording --->
CLICK HERE <-----
That was created with NATIVE INSTRUMENTS KOMPLETE ULTIMATE
I purchased that locally from TMS, but you can FREELY DOWNLOAD a starter package from native instruments at:
http://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/free/Here you will find the following tool that was used to create the song above
You may ask - WHY DOES THE WEBSITE GIVE AWAY THE PRODUCT IF ITS IN A PACKAGE THAT SELLS FOR ALMOST 50k pesos !!??
Because the FREE product is locked to only play the LIMITED sounds included, but it can FULLY play any future "Komplete player" compatible sounds you purchase (some can be ordered for as low as 1k pesos !)
Much more than just synths - remember you can use a "Guitar library" and play almost anything you can dream of using ANY MIDI CONTROLLER and it will sound like a real guitar... or Saxophone, or violin...
This sounded too good even to my ears when I was first given this information (By one of the founders of our local BOUNCE music school). Eventually I tried it... and I have not been the same ever since....
... and my wallet is a lot lighter from so many ADDITIONAL sound library purchases...
For those who doubt guitar... here is an example of what you can do .. 100% VIRTUAL GUITARS... can actually drive a mosh pit...
NOTE: I find it almost impossible to shred guitar "synths" using a piano... it just does not FEEL right... so I have a secret that I will share with you...
USE A DRUMPAD TO TRIGGER ROCK GUITAR (I use Maschine Studio for this)
Here is an example Metal song made 100% in KOMPLETE (note the library used sells for about 3k peso, but I can pay a guitarist MINIMUM of 1k peso to perfect a song.... after 3 songs.. this library paid for itself !)
UNNAMED LIBRARY - as ANY guitar library can do the same.. (effects are processed USUALLY in GUITAR RIG - that is also FREE in the above official link)
CLICK HERE TO HEAR VIRTUAL GUITAR SHREDDING AND VIRTUAL DRUMSNOTE: THESE ARE NOT LOOPS, each note has to be played individually on your midi controller... these are not LOOPS... this is REAL sounding music... created by a person sitting at a desk !
If there is SOMETHING you are looking for ... please reply to this thread... ANYTHING you want to hear... can usually be LEGALLY found for free
CATCH:
The demo players above WILL play ALL your purchased libraries as long as it says "kontakt PLAYER compatible" if it is not compatible with the FREE version the sounds simply pause after a few seconds... aka NAG SCREEN... now we have NAG-PAUSE
So, you also need recording SOFTWARE (aka DAW) well..
PRO TOOLS IS ALSO FREE !!! 100% FREE version - download it after release here :
