I don't get it. Why would anyone want a wave sample? you can't use them. They are never in the key or tempo you want.

Sometimes when I am writing a sea chanty or something about boats I like to use a wave sample as an introduction to set the mood.

I see.

You don't need a wave sampler for that do you? You can just use a wave file imported to your recorder.

If they are NEVER in the key you want, then I'd advise some songwriting remedy.

Wave samples should not have a "tempo" or "key". They should be adabtable. Unless, of course, you are referring to wave loops. That's a whole different ballpark.

And if you're talking wave loops,that's what things like ReCycle or Live were invented for;to transpose and/or change the tempo while keeping the loop sounding right.

Maybe you can help me learn more about it.

What the bloody is wrong with wave samples? It's fine for single shots and can be used by all programs. I don't use loops. If i want to sample a drum break, I break it up (usually manually). Its not like any other format can change either key or tempo without changing both for loops.

I meant loops. Sorry.

Hrm... well... to answer your question (though not providing much help), I guess a lot of people will use 'construction kits' which means that the loops are all in the same key and tempo.

If you're looking for a specific key and tempo, then it's time to roll up your sleeves and do some work.

Exception-- drum loops. Since they don't really have a 'key' (I know drums can be tuned, but that's another matter) it's just the tempo you have to worry about. And ReCycle, Dicer, eXT, etc. can all take care of that.

I have Giga studio. Can I do it with that?

And im sure you paid the full $199 - $599 that it costs to buy gigastudio too, right?

Hrm. People just don't go out and buy Gigastudio if they don't know what it's capable of.

No, Gigastudio is not a beatslicer.

Try buying eXT or MicroDicer for less than $50.

Ron, I saw that... and elaborated on what you were saying by pointing out to HIM (not to you, because I know you already 'get it') why we don't believe that he actually owns it.

Then I gave him some suggestions because hey-- he might actually shell out on one of those 2 worthwhile developers, putting some money into their pocket and starting him down the road to legit software usage.

Really, Ron....

Why wave samples?
