Free Demo Of Cinematic Rhythms Arp 2013-08-02 15:25:30 Reply

I have been working on a library for Kontakt called 'Cinematic Rhythms'.

This library will be released on December 31st 2013.

Here I have a free version of the 'weak' arps that will be used inside the library.

Each instrument has 1 sample per arp only because it is the demo version. SO you may find that playing over an octave than the original note might sound weird.

If anyone has some spare time to download 280mb for 28 individual instruments then go ahead and check out the free download page on the website:

http://brandonspendlove.wix.com/centralcomposers

The website will be www.centralcomposers.com once I have sorted it all out with the packaging. ( AND its still in construction.... so its not fully developed)

I have used some of the arps in some of my compositions so if you have ever checked out my music, you might hear some of the sounds I used.

The full version will consist around 300 individual instrument files (.nki) which will be separated into 4 categories.

Arps, Percussion Loops, FX and Percussive Kits and Instruments.

It would be a big support if you liked the Facebook page that I made (It used to be Brandon Spendlove but now its Central Composers)

https://www.facebook.com/BrandonSpendloveCompositionForFilmT vAndMedia?notif_t=page_new_likes

(WARNING FOR THE BITCHY PEOPLE: Don't get bitchy, Every sound is not 'copied' or stolen, a lot of people I have came across have said this to other people.... I directly contacted Native Instruments about the library.)

Please do not attempt to copy any of the sounds that are in the download. Each sound has been specifically designed with a 'water mark'. I can tell if the sounds have been stolen from my library by contacting Native Instruments.

I had some hard work starting this library off because I had a long talk with some of the supporters from NI and I now sorted it all out how to sell libraries!!

Also! I ask of a favor for those who try this out, please note down any error's or bugs that you come across.

As I mention in the .rar file, I am hiring a sound designer and Kontakt Scripter for a future project. Please do not apply if you have had less than 1 year of experience. Email brandon-spendlove@hotmail.co.uk for more info.

ALSO!!!!!!!!!! When you buy the full product (When its out!) You get the boxed edition. (The box is the same size as a DVD case and comes with a small manual.)

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ALL PEOPLE THAT I FORGOT TO MENTION (WHAT A STUPID TWAT I AM....)

This was made by Kontakt 5.0.3 but it has been down patched to Kontakt V4.0.1.368.

Make sure you have version 4.0.1.368 or above otherwise you will not be able to load the instrument patches.

It's hard to take this seriously because the website is terrible and obviously just thrown together. I'd suggest doing something about that. In addition, the demo version is comprised almost entirely of loops, with very, very few usable samples that would be worth the money. If you're going to convince people to buy this, you need a better demo, because right now it compares very unfavorable against free sample packs that usually consist of the same kinds of loops that are in the demo.

I have contacted a website designer a few days ago to make a half decent website better than the one I listed. That is being sorted.

'The demo version is comprised almost entirely of loops'.... That is what the arps in Cinematic Rhythms are, they a loops of sounds that I have created. NOTE that there are like 28 instruments in the demo version, the full version will consist around 100, (and in the full version, I am only using about 10 of the instruments in the demo.)

If you're going to convince people to buy this, you need a better demo - About that.... I understand about showing what it can achieve in a demo but I personally want to show what it can do in a trailer or some compositions before the release.

Thanks for the feedback though, I really appreciate it.

I forgot to add, this is a demo version of some 'arps' out of the library, the library also includes Percussion Loops, FX and Percussive Kits and Instruments. It sounds like you think this is the demo of the whole library, if that is what you think, its not... Its just the arps.

Based off the demos you have, nothing special, at all. Just simple arps with little work effort. In fact most of your arps can be thrown together in short time.

How much do you plan to sell this for? It shouldn't even exceed $10.

very shady

Have you read the above....

This library will include much more, and the instruments will be MUCH more powerful.

Then you should put some in the demos. Bragging about how powerful it is won't help you make money.

Bragging made a lot of money for other libraries out there, I have bought libraries that have been quite disappointing. I don't see why I can't basically do the same.

I was about to say only idiots bought bragged stuff, but then I saw your second line, now I'm giggling.

I hope no one will fall to your product.

I am just saying from my point of view, it sounds kind of rude, everything you have said. We are all the same, we all make music here... it would be very useful as well if you pointed out which ones are not useful and what I could do to make some better.

Your comments are just not helpful, if you were to 'criticize' then at least add some more detail in what needs to be changed.

Easy up on him, he's trying to make a start.

Some feedback for you:

> Right now you're using a single wav file for some instruments, and the kontakt player does the pitch changing, the problem with this is that it can sound really awful. im not a sound engineer and I can see it maintains tempo but the pitch ends up really muddy when you go low down.

> You could do with an arp ability too, right now its all set in stone, so people cant decide on their own arp.

> It's lacking a bit of width you need to compare it to the likes of Project Alpha and cinematic guitars. They offer sounds we dont hear elsewhere and make it worth the purchase. You have some nice glitch effects i'd use in my tracks, but I'd find i'd have to layer them to make them sound wide, and maybe have to add effects to make them sound interesting.

Yeah I know what you mean, each instrument is supplied by one sample (that's why it sounds bad when going below/above the original key) BUT! I will be doing more than 1 sample (for different octaves, so in different places it will not sound like its just been pitch shifted through the kontakt tracking)


> You could do with an arp ability too, right now its all set in stone, so people cant decide on their own arp.

(You just gave me an idea to add that in, I just noticed that I kept calling them arps. I am sorry, what these are mean't to be are Tonal Loops but I will get around to doing the arp ability if that works out)

Yeah, at least I am focusing on doing a lot of sounds literally everyday until December so I will come across making some sounds that would make it worth it.

Thanks for the feedback! (AND for the idea of the arp ;) I look forward to scripting that in, I hope its not too hard. )

Try to come up with some extra-ordinary sounds. I did some sound recording the other day that I might end up adapting into my own VST that included me dropping blocks of wood on a resonant wooden floor (really neat percussive sound) and a large metal type cabinet. If you are going towards that effects route, go all the way! Record the sounds of weird things, or even ordinary things- sometimes you can get weird results. Put a packing tube around your mic! etc.
