I work with Cubase sx3 !When I sample I do that with Yamaha A3000 sampler (external hardware sampler)I record the sample loop cut and tune...within the Yamaha A3000 !But is there a vst sampler plugin where I can do the same thing,like record a external audio source like a cd player or dat player and work on the sample,I have Halion2 but you only can import samples not record them!Please some advice!Thanx!greetz!

Directwave supposedly will be doing that, that is, it has audio in(s) and you will have to feed that via your host somehow. The current way to sample with computers/software samplers is to record the material into the computer using either the sequencer/host or a 2track editor like wavelab or soundforge, then to trim, normalize, convert the material in these, because it's very comfortable to do that with huge waveform display, zoom and so on. Only after that you feed them into your softsampler.

emulator x is the only vst sampler featuring sampling functions. plus it has excellent filters. but you need an e-mu pci card installed and it has pretty high cpu requirements.

What I do is use Adobe Audition - though I could use my Sonar host and you could presumably use Cubase - to record the audio, save and edit the .wav file, then import the .wav file into a sampler (VSampler or Kontakt, in my case). If Halion 2 doesn't support .wav import, get yourself a copy of VSampler 3 - it's cheap and does lots of useful things.

What kevin said.
Just record your DAT in Cubase (to record a source from CD, just rip it instead for the best quality ; if you have 1 digital input, record the DAT with that). Now edit your samples with the Cubase sample editor, save the file(s) and drop them in HALion.
The ideal way to do that (but that's just if you need advanced editing capabilities) would be via a dedicated sample editor like Audition, Sound Forge, Wavelab, Peak or DSP Quattro if you're on Mac.

goodluck

hey, there is a very good multitrack recorder/editor called audacity, which is free (good) and open source (even better - always support opens source by using it when you can).

you can use vst by downloading the speceial vst enabler. you'll have to do a bit of a search on the site, though. i don't remember where it is.

we just announced a cool VST we've been developing called OSR (one-shot recorder). It is a VST "FX" plugin which allows for threshold auto-sampling of an input, with a lot of handy abilities! Can be a serious timesaver if you are doing a lot of your own sampling .
