Looking for Rickenbacker sound as software instrument or sample library

Hi everybody,
does anybody here know if there is any kind of software instrument pout there or a sample library that can be used for a (demo) substitution for a Rickenbacker bass guitar sound?
You know, this incredibly and unmatched elastic and rumbly bass guitar sound that can send your stomach on a roller coaster ride...

Hey Trey,
Are you looking for loops to create music, or pre-existing music beds? For loops, I've used bandmate loops - http://www.bandmateloops.com - most of them sound really good to me. I don't really use music beds in my projects.
If you're looking for sound effects and don't need loops, STP can work with several formats, so there are the large cd libraries if you're looking for lots of (expensive) choices, or if you just need a couple of sounds you're not finding, you could try a site like http://sounddogs.com. They have thousands of downloadable effects, and you pay based on the number and length of the effect. I've used them before, and they were really convenient. They also might have music beds available, but they most likely won't be in apple loop format.
Hope this helps!

HELP !!! how to hear a simple sound from software instrument ????????

It's a simple question, but I lost half an hour to find a button to hit play and hear one single sound from software instruments, but no success. I saw the video tutorials and they skip the basic.
Very frustrating, I think I will have some difficulty in understanding how this program works.
I cannot do nothing with it, besides adding chapters and songs from itunes.
I need to take a course in Garage Band.
I found it. It's a keyboard.

i just bought the revolution after having a blackberry and i'm looking for a notepad type software and a place to store passwords.

I use SafeWallet after trying most of the apps in the market place. It's a bit expensive compared to most and you have to pay for the desktop application which sucks but the other apps were some cumbersome I knew I would never use them after the initial setup.
I'll add the normal caution of storing passwords in a non-protected text file but you probably know that

Looking for a sound software

hi all,
I'm looking for a small sound manipulation software that would enable me cut out some parts of an mp3 song.
My objective is get the part of the MP3 song that I like (The Muppet Show theme) so that I can use it as a ring tone in my mobile phone.
I don't know if this is possible with Garageband.
Thank you in advance,
Johannes
Ps: I apologize for posting this message in this section. I couldn't find a more suitable forum.

Johannes,
You can certainly do it in GarageBand, although not the most ideal method I guess:
Open Garageband. Drag and drop the MP3 into the Garageband window and it will import the file. Highlight/Play the track and choose where you want to edit the track using the play marker. Choose Edit->Split to separate the bits of the track you want (repeat as appropriate). Next highlight the bits of the track you don't want to keep (you can hold down Shift to highlight multiple sections) and press delete (you may need to click off the track and back on to the bits you're deleting) - this should leave you with the bit of the track you want.
When you have finished you can export it to iTunes: File->Export to iTunes. The file in iTunes is an AIF file that you can then convert to MP3 again (and do what you like with!)
Alternatively, you could try Audacity, a free Sound Editor, at: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ (I've not used it myself yet, but I'm guessing it's a more direct method!).
I hope that helps,
Jon

Looking for quality, hard to find instrument samples

Hello,
I'm a traditional (acoutic) Korean drummer/musician looking at going going electric (both for composing and later performing these virtual instruments on stage).
I would like samples of Korean instruments in my computer to trigger and/or make loops.
I can try making samples by recording my instruments on my own, but I'm willing to pay for quality rather than make them on my own. Also I don't have all the instruments I would like.
Can you tell me where there might be even the possibility of quality Korean instrument samples?
Thank you in advance for you help.

just visited your website, looks like you have a great group going there.
actually looking at the photos on your site made me think, you'd be best off getting in there and sampling the instruments yourself.
you'll probably find a bunch of stuff out there to buy.. but I think it would be a shame if you just hobbled together a bunch of more or less generic asian percussion samples just because that's all you could find. if you're an expert in these instruments and in the musical tradition of it all, you're in a really great position to really understand the dynamics of the sounds they make and how best to capture it all, so that you get similar playability from your sample set.
I'd start off by doing some test runs and experimenting. record some of the instruments you do have and that you play yourself. get your hands on the best stereo mics you can find, a nice room to do it in, and a nice preamp/converter.
once you've tracked a whole bunch of hits and whatever else you can produce with an instrument, spend some time editing it all up and then try out some mapping in the EXS24 to see how it plays. you'll quickly find out what works best. then once it's all working out for you and you've got a technique down, you could set up a day in a studio and get as many players and instruments in as you can. record the bejeezus out of them, knowing that you can then go and edit and keymap it all later.
it can be a lot of work, but there's nothing quite like roll-your-own sampled instruments, especially when you are someone that really understands what a particular instrument is capable of in terms of range of sound. you'll really be able to get in there and capture so much more of the nuances that these instruments can produce than someone that just stuck a mic in front of something they didn't understand and hit it with a stick. and then with your multisamples and velocity layering, you'll be able to tweak it so much better to play authentically cos you know what to listen for.
also consider this. if you have a clear focus on what kind of positive contribution doing this work could have to the music and performances of your group, you might be able to apply for a community arts grant in order to really do a good job of this. you could afford to get into a nice sounding studio with good choice of mics and an engineer to help it go well, as well as some budget to bring in players to capture the unique sound of their instruments. community arts bodies can be quite positive about funding this sort of thing, when it involves archiving traditional art and culture within your community, and also contributes to the continued development of more creative work at the same time. food for thought anyway.

Looking for External Sound Device for iBook G4

Does anyone know of an external audio device similar to Creative Technology's Sound Blaster Extigy that will work with my iBook G4? I would like to record CDs played through an external CD player that has audio compression. Unfortunately the iBook lacks audio inputs. Thanks.
Don Squires

Perhaps this is what you're looking for:
http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/SonicaTheater-main.html
I had an Extigy with my previous notebook (presario 1500) and absolutely loved the sound I got through my creative 5.1 speakers, at least when my computer was working properly
I see the sonic theatre as the mac equivalent, although it doesn't appear to have a remote, oh well. I have no idea how much of the software will work on a mac, but it can't be too hard to find some good audio software.

I am using garageband. May upgrade.I am looking for more sounds....

Hi,
I am looking for more guitar sounds and software sounds (violin). Does Logic Express provide this? Is there a list of what it provides (I mean different guitar sounds and software sounds for a MIDI keyboard)
Thanks!

Just add more sounds to GB.
"Upgrade" to Logic if you want more knobs to twist, not because you'd like a few more samples.

Looking for brass sounds

All,
I'm looking for some brass sounds for doing swing/jazz, especially things like section falls, 'doiks', etc. A plug-in would be fine, but even better would be samples I could just load into the EXS24.
Any suggestions?

If you follow my tutorial, all works well...
http://www.garritan.com/tutorial/UsingGPOinGarageBand2.htm
Since it is not ready, I have not received the Intel-ready version to test with GarageBand 3. When I do (and hoping we get a GarageBand 4 soon) I will rewrite the above tutorial.
Once you setup your custom instruments, yes, it all plays very nice. Because these samples are so precise, it may take a little more time to load--depending on the complexity of the instrument. Also, you need a good deal of RAM, so keep that in mind. Again, it depends on the complexity and how many instruments you use. The piece I posted worked on a Mac Mini with just a gig of RAM. So I think your Mini with one gig should suffice. Also, the Brass instruments are not as complex as, say, the Steinway Grand. You should do just fine.

Looking for a Project Management software package for macs

while I'm on the hunt for some good business software for my mac, I am also looking for a good project managment program, in the spirit of MS Project, but "Apple-ized".
Open to suggestions from somebody with experience.

My company has a web-based project productivity management software called ActiveFocus which works on any type of machine.
Check out the demo and let me know what you think: http://www.activefocus.net/AFDemo/AFLogin.aspx
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

Looking for DELL Webcam Central software and the webcam software updates

My laptop is DELL XPSM1530. I read that the webcam was made by Creative Technology.
Recently, I read in DELL.com that there is a software named DELL Webcam Central.
It was said that it can improve the camera performance.
I have looked for it in DELL.com but I did not found it and I also have looked it here but I got nothing.
Where can I get it? Is it the same as Webcam Manager / Webcam Central that has been installed in my laptop here?
And if it the same, where can I have the software updates?
Thank you.

Hi,
You will stand a better chance getting in touch with Dell, the download site here does not offer the mentioned webcam software.

Looking for good sound module/card for AE CS4 and AE CS5.5 Echo Audio not working proper

Hi,
I have two different computers, one with AE CS4 and a other one with AE CS 5.5.
On both systems ( Windows 7 64) my Echo audio fire4 sound-module driver is not working proper
and crashing AE. Despite the latest updates from Echo. When I uninstall the driver the problems
are gone!
That's the reason I'm looking for a good stable sound-module (FireWire) to work with Premiere Pro
and AE.
Thanks! David

Looking for advice on photo software

I am a recent 'switcher'. After using a PC for almost 25 years, I recently bought an iMac and couldn't be happier with the switch.
Here's my problem: I currently have about 2,000 photos on my iMac and iPhoto has been awesome up until now for handling my photo needs. However, my family has recently gathered ALL of our old family photos and are passing them from one relative to another to copy, make prints or whatever they want to do. I plan on scanning most of them into my iMac. I realize that I'm going to have more photos than iPhoto is made to handle and I'm looking for Mac software capable of organizing these photos.
For background, I own a Canon PowerShot 75 (point-and-shoot) digital camera and usually only take pictures while on vacation or at family gatherings. I am NOT a power user in photography. I rarely edit photos. I NEVER use RAW format and probably never will. Basically, I'm just looking for Mac-capable software capable of organizing and letting me find photos out of thousands of photos. I am willing to buy whatever I need but don't know which way to go. I've looked at Aperture and don't know if it's what I need or not. Something else?

However, my family has recently gathered ALL of our old family photos and are passing them from one relative to another to copy, make prints or whatever they want to do. I plan on scanning most of them into my iMac. I realize that I'm going to have more photos than iPhoto is made to handle...
Is that more than 250,000 photos? Because that's what iPhoto's made to manage. And once you hit that you still have the possibility of additional libraries.
All of this:

I NEVER use RAW format and probably never will. Basically, I'm just looking for Mac-capable software capable of organizing and letting me find photos out of thousands of photos.
points me to recommend iPhoto. Aperture is geared to RAW shooters.
For a point of reference: I have 22k photos in my main library, and I can find any I need in seconds. The key is using Keywords:
I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums exensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 20k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
Keywording takes time to set up, there's no doubt about it. I use Keyword Manager as it's much more powerful than the inbuilt system, and adds the possibility of nested keywords. So, for instance, if I add John to a photo it also adds 'Family'. Now I can add many keywords to a pic quickly.
In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

TD
