DiSCOVER | 08 DECEMBER 2014 | 1.30 GB

2 GB and 216 loops

‘Ambient Textures’ contains 2 GB of content consisting of 216 loops. These samples are organized into four different folders for quick navigation and are a must-have for producers and sound designers looking for inspiration.  Inside you’ll find four categories of loops; Harmonic Ambiences, Drum Textures, Percussion FX and Unperfect Loops.  From dreamy, hypnotic musical beds through to dark, menacing moods, ‘Ambient Textures’ is a perfect choice for media composers and sound designers looking for new inspiration. These harmonic ambience loops are organized into small kits of loops designed to be layered, mixed and matched. The loops are long (with many well over 30 seconds) and contain evolving soundbeds.  All of these samples can be augmented with the included drum and percussion textures, all of which have been processed with the powerful time-stretching features of Elastik and can be time-stretched to match any tempo required.  The final element is a series of ‘Unperfect Loops’ with both rhythmic and non-rhythmic sounds, noises and sound FX included. ‘Ambient Textures’ provides an ideal collection of source material for busy sound designers and composers working in film, TV, commercials, games, documentaries, advertising or other background music/audio applications.

Keyboard Techniques for Producers

ilfsn | Feb 26th, 2018 | 1.3 Hours | 639 MB

There is no better way to improve your music productions than to develop basic keyboard skills. Of course you don’t need to be a virtuoso to produce music, but having some keyboard techniques and musicianship is very important. Even if you never played a keyboard before, or if you’re paranoid at the thought of learning chords and scales, have no fear. Matt Vanacoro is here to show you how easy it can be to learn to play the keys. No sight-reading necessary! Matt starts by explaining the importance of having a comfortable keyboard setup and a good posture when playing. As he says, playing long hours with a bad posture is a recipe for disaster for your body! He then reveals, in very simple terms, the music theory concepts that every producer should know. You learn how to build and play major and minor scales, and you discover how to integrate those scary black notes (also called accidentals, or sharps and flats) in your playing. Next, Matt shows you how to build and play chords, and he explains the difference between major, minor, diminished and augmented chords. You learn to play with both hands, by playing chords and bass lines with your left hand. Matt also demystifies other important music theory concepts such as the circle of fifths, suspended chords, inversions, intervals, arpeggios and how to integrate all this in your playing… and in your music productions.

Grosso KONTAKT MiDi MP4

P2P | 20.03.2017 | 22.95 GB

A Grandiose full Orchestral Phrase-based Cinematic Sample Library

Grosso is the best instrument we have produced to date. Period. With Grosso, BV is changing the paradigm for orchestral phrase-based instruments… again! Before our Minimal library, the level of control, whilst retaining the authentic sound that live recordings bring to the party, was unheard of. We have gotten so much positive feedback on Minimal that a ‘sequel’ was unavoidable. Mere sequels is not what we do though, so if you look at what Grosso brings to the table, you will see an evolved entity that is a homo-sapiens to Minimal’s homo-erectus.

Audio Watermark 2015 RETAiL eBook

BitBook | 06.01.2015 | 5.1 MB

A Comprehensive Foundation Using MATLAB

Audio watermarking is a technique providing a promising solution to copyrights protection for digital audio and multimedia products. Using this technique, hidden information called watermark containing copyrights information is imperceptibly embedded into the audio track of a host media. This watermark may be extracted later on from a suspected media to verify the authenticity. To function as an effective tool to enforce ownership rights, the audio watermarking scheme must satisfy the imperceptibility, robustness, security, data payload, and computational complexity requirements. Throughout this book we will be illustrating in a practical way the commonly used and novel approaches of audio watermarking for copyrights protection. We will also introduce our recently developed methods for objectively predicting the perceptual quality of the watermarked audio signals.
