Wow what an incredible collection of samples to share with everyone, thank you. Reading your bio and credits it appears as if you don't sleep! I'm wondering if you've ever been to the Banff Center? That seems like your sort of thing. Thanks again for the samples I'll let you know if I do anything with them.

Hi, Mr. Tunes.
Tour Canada a couple of times each year, but never been to the Banff Center (though I may have been there many many years ago with my family when I was younger).

Hi, Vurt.
You're welcome.
The files I made available in this thread
are all made by me, however, not the students.
(Perhaps that wasn't clear the way I posted).
The students use those files for *their* homework. I've been asked to share some of the student's
homework (ie results from the files being
mangled), but they're just at the stage of
sharing in class, not farther. Maybe in the
future, who knows. And, of course, I wouldn't
share a student's work unless s/he gave permission
to do so.

Definitely.
They're coming up with some really interesting
results in their completed homework assignments.

A production contest of sorts is being set up
by one of the members on the mnml.nl forum
using those samples I made; here's the thread

Forgot to reply to this bit in my previous reply to you.
I keep a notepad by the bed and write down ideas if I wake up in the middle of the night. Saves waking up my wife by getting up and running down to the studio. Sick to my stomach at the recent passings of Jay Dilla and Doru. Exact same feeling as when James "Drexciya" Stinson died.

Hey, about the Banff Center i'm not sure if you got that I was talking about this sort of organzation that studies a lot of sound art. Funny how no one got around to asking you what you use for your sound designs but i read it on that other forum. Be sure to PM me if you're performing in Toronto or post if it's a canadian tour.

Andrew Duke · Post by **Andrew Duke** » Mon Feb 13, 2006 5:36 am

Will do. I play Toronto at least a couple of times a year. Andrew

A new round of the sound design/production class I'm teaching
(called Making Music With Computers by the college, thus
MMWC for short) starts tonight; focus programs are Ableton
Live and Native Instruments Reaktor; for the first two assignments
in the class, students have to mangle a limited pool of samples
using certain procedures; so that students use the same audio
starting point, I give them a bunch of samples I've made for
them to tweak. I'm also making these audio files (loops, hits,
some field recordings, etc) available to anyone else who wants to
use 'em (links below). If you missed out on them the first
time I posted about this (they're royalty-free), here's the download info:
http://andrew-duke.com/MMWCassignment1audio.zip
http://andrew-duke.com/MMWCassignment2audio.zip
(Note: these are newly named zips; the old zip locations mentioned previously
in this thread are no longer valid).

Course info: http://andrew-duke.com/course.html

All I ask is that if you use of my samples in anything that you post a link so
we can check out the results.

Hi, Vurt.
Some basic buildin'.
Nothing too complicated.
I might get into teaching
an all-Reaktor course later on,
but for now it is a mix of
Live and Reaktor.

I just found out the coolest thing.
As you know, I do sound design
for others to use and my sounds are
re-used in various areas and I
rarely find out about it unless someone
tells me "hey, I used your sound" or
I happen to hear it used elsewhere.

Well, today I got an email from the guy
who did the audio for the new promos
for Survivorman which airs on TV on
Discovery Science:
http://science.discovery.com/convergenc ... orman.html
The sound designer told me
he really likes my sound design work and
used some of my sound design in a TV promo
for the show. I'm a fan and actually watch
this show regularly, so this has special meaning to me.
How cool is that?! I'll post a link to the promo
on my site if I get permission and
let you know. Wow, I am so thrilled
about this. Take care.
Andrew
