Commodore Remix

I'm finishing work on my 3rd sample cd this month (or rather mid August), and I'm getting a special bank of C64 drum sounds from Jeroen Tel on the sample cd along the other thousands of drum sounds and effects.

He's sending it tomorrow, so I'm very excited.

Pretty cool

Anybody who has good copyright free C64 sounds (especially sound effects like sweeps, sweeping zaps, weird effects etc), are very welcome to send these to me for inclusion on the sample cd, although there's no money or free cd's in it (cheap, I know)

I need 16 bit 44.1 kHz WAV files, although any format better than that will do, since I'll convert it myself.

Check your host. It may have a 'randomize patch' function that will create some weird fx from your VST's with little effort (just plug in Quadrasid and 'randomize')! Otherwise, some VST's have an option built in (I know some of the NI stuff does)...

Yup, FL Studio does this, makes for some interesting sounds.

Thanks for the tip.

I'm very picky so that would mean going thru some 500-1000 patches Of course I went thru 12.000 the other day

I do that everytime I record a new song, I go through thousands of patches just to find that perfect Lead or Bass or Kick.

You have undertaken a big task, good luck.

hehe im sure whatever you come up with will be fine... i know the feeling on the whole patch thing i have a batch of noises that i really like and 1000000000 other patches that i tend to slowly move through day by day (and ive been getting more for various synths day by day so it's not getting easier) but on the plus side my "sound" will diversify... which is always a good thing.

what i really wanna know mr lagerfeldt "puts the spotlight on" when we gonna see another remix off of you?

Not even free CDs! You greedy b!§%*$d!

Infamous.. I've been very busy for the past year and probably will be in the nearest future too, so all my C64 plans are on the slow burner right now :-/ I still regularly check in here and read the posts (and sometimes post) and listen to SLAY Radio though. However, I'm busy because I have lots of jobs in the studio, which is good.

Finished this remix yesterday http://www.lydmaskinen.dk/temp/fuckmeremix.mp3

LMan, you know it. I'm cheap & greedy. No really, if you go ahead and make a whole bank (61 sounds) of excellent quality that I can use, like Jeroen's, I'll send that someone a free sample cd (mind you the RRP is €80). But if you send me 5 blip blop effects, that's a drop in the ocean on a 4.500 sound sample DVD

Got the samples today. 183 recorded directly from the original songs from Jeroen Tel's Commodore 64. Ah, I just love it being a big MoN-fanboy-slut.

He says it took him two days to set up all the channels correctly (individually) and record it.

Anyway, the sounds are absolutely fat. This just reminds me how bad emulators sound compared to the real thing.

Cool! Don't forget to send him his free Mars Bar!
