Various Sound Effect Libraries - 1970-1985

As most people who know me, know I have worked in post production for TV & Radio, doing composition as well as foley & recording for it, amongst regular music production & recording work. Which means I have collected libraries of sounds for a long while.
Whether on CD, tape, DAT, reel to reel or vinyl

These are just a few of the ones I’ll be sampling & putting into my newly acquired Digitakt II from Elektron - to use in upcoming music, events & gigs I’ll be playing in the future.
A fun evening of sampling awaits!

I said I wouldn't buy any libraries this Black Friday season, but I'm wavering. The three things I'm missing the most – a better string quartet, an intimate string section and a choir – damn you, 8Dio!

This might be fun. I love a good scoring challenge.

's is now free, and I tested it earlier this month. I worked the sound a bit, attempted a retro-smooth Ormandy/Philadelphia style.

Cons:
- No legato patches
- No mutes
- No round robin
- Limited dynamics
- One mic pos.

Pros:
- The programming and mic is excellent!
- Instantly decent sound – incredible for 200MB
- Possibly my new favourite tool for sketching out orchestral ideas quickly

Chances are, nobody wants to hear my rant about the lack of #MusicalDiversity in #SampleLibraries.

Which is a good reason to start it here. ;-)

Sounds to me like samples/loops/clips are part of a trend. Native Instruments just launched Sounds.com after Noiiz.com ramped up its own service. LoopMasters will update Loopcloud soon and Splice is being discussed a fair deal.
But they’re all about massive amounts of very similar samples.
