Question about the Mick Fleetwood loop library. -ACID Product Family

Subject:Question about the Mick Fleetwood loop library. Posted by: Jacose Date:8/17/2002 2:50:28 PM I was wondering, I read in the latest catalog that Mick fleetwood requested "Multitracking" while recording his Loops. Does this mean that this library is similar to discrete drums in that it has seperate trax for the different instruments (hihat,snare, and so on.) loop librarys like this truly Much show sonic foundry the need for a better organizing of tracks in subfolders or somthing.

Reply by: Jessariah Date:8/17/2002 3:31:17 PM This is an approach we took on our first library, and is how we will structure future drum libraries/folders. Beat Blox We've had others use it with very favorable results. Very easy to navigate and build beats with.

Subject:RE: Question about the Mick Fleetwood loop library. Reply by: me_arnold Date:9/1/2002 9:21:20 PM Am I missing something???? Discrete Drums seems to me (after I've spent numerous hours and $200+) worthless! The samples are all tempo driven. The kick is only a kick at 140 bpm. Try and change it and the pitch changes plus you get a really bad sounding digital stretch. My question to anyone who has them.... What program are you using them in???? I've tried Nuendo, Acid Pro, Vegas, etc.... no luck. The biggest waste of money I've spent. They do have one thing down.... the marketing. The separate tracks are all sampled at different tempos. The songs are organized and labeled with (for example) 163 bpm. Try using them. The verse is a different tempo than the verse fill! Sucks! I sent emails to DD and guess what?... no reply. No longer will I be silent about my wasted money. % ^ (

Reply by: Jacose Date:9/1/2002 11:02:03 PM yeah I dont like the discrete drums at all... its not really for ACID users, I like the sounds of the drums, but much rather would like a straight out sample CD with multivelocity and sequence my own loops in fruity.
Subject:RE: Discrete Drums. Reply by: Erik_Nygaard Date:9/2/2002 2:41:19 AM I'm starting to feel the same way about this library. I even bought the big version, chopped off that stupid extra beat and acidized the lot. During this process I found that a fair number of loops have 5-600 samples of dead space in front, the loop labeling on the audio CDs doesn't always match the 24-bit loops etc. The performance and audio production is good, but the implementation is rather bad IMHO.
