Yo y'all:

I've finally finished posting this month's Texas Music Forge and have the usual .zip file of outtakes available for download. You can grab it at:

www DOT texasmusicforge DOT com/music/samples/TexasMusicForge_13.zip

Please note I break up the URL to avoid having it harvested by spambots. I an already inundated with offers of Nigerian bank fund opportunities and pills for body part enlargement I don't need.

This month, we have a collection of 10 mandolin samples and 6 easily-loopable nylon string guitar samples. The mandolin samples are all 5 to 10 seconds long and are perfect as stingers and buttons for your podcast, video, TV, audiobook or other audio productions. Most have reverb, three have a rotary speaker effect (Spinbug) added. The half dozen nylon string guitar samples were recorded at 104 bpm and should therefore be easily loopable for downtempo, acid jazz and Latin style music. These are all short enough to be used as stingers or segue music, too. These have some reverb added but are otherwise as they were recorded, finger squeaks on strings and all.

I was hired to write and perform music for a local production of William Shakespeare's As You Like It and will be on a European tour with the company next month. The guitar samples are outtakes from the cast CD recorded for the show, samples of which can be heard on the Texas Music Forge website.

Best regards to all,

Thanks Ed, for another splendid sample pack to add to the collection.

All the best for the European tour as well.

Glad y'all found the sample pack to be useful.

On a related note, this week I'm playing in a pit orchestra for a theatrical production at the University of Texas in Austin and was thinking of dragging a recording rig out there to get some samples. They have an actual old-school hand-cranked mechanical "wind noise" machine I was thinking of sampling. I'm playing with an excellent upright bass player, a flute & tenor/soprano sax guy and a guy playing a really sweet, full-sized piano accordion (we're performing a score with a lot of New Orleans music in it). I'm thinking of getting loops of performances from each instrument instead of just static samples. Style would probably be hillbilly jazz/swing and some zydeco/cajun Louisiana stuff.

If I grab some samples of these excellent musicians and whatever old-fashioned special effects noisemakers the drama department has laying around, anyone else interested?

Definitely Ed, this sounds like it would make an interesting sample pack.
I'm always up for another quality set of loops and sounds.
