Subject: Do I need a sampler?
Original Message 1/13 14-Aug-98 @ 09:37 PM - Do I need a sampler?
I currently am using mostly software for my synthesis and sequencing. Im using an awe 64 gold, making waves, sound forge and acid. Am I missing out on something by not having a dedicated sampler? Im not planning to perform out live, I'm a DJ. How terrible is it to use the awe's sampling Ram?
Thanks,
Slicksta

Plus.. Something I am really missing from samples is being able to fine tune a sample while your track is playing. You just can't do that with soundfonts (If it is possible please let me know). Thing is I never heard of anyone buying a sampler and regretting it.

Making Waves is just a tedious music making program.

can anyone recommend an easy to pick up tracker app that will import .wav samples and sequence them? it doesn't really need to be much more complex than that...
i'd really appreciate that.%6)

Re- the original question.. Have you thought about one of those smaller samplers that are geared more towards dj's? The yamaha su10, akai s20 or that boss sp202? These all have specific function geared towards dj's plus you can midi them up and use them in your sequencing.. Only the akai has adisk drive tho. Some good second hand prices around.

if you use awe toy for the awe 64 gold you can fine tune the samples in real time. Its free and definetely worth using considering you already have ane awe, don't you? Use it, and let me know your results.
