“Not knowing the real instrument well, yet having to learn millions of
keyswitches to play the sampled version, is a nightmare. With Orange
Tree libraries this is not a problem!The purpose of the Cherry Choke song is to demonstrate CoreBass Cherry
(fingered and picked) in both quiet and busy parts of a rock/metal style
song. I’ve used CoreBass Cherry for the (almost) solo parts and CoreBass
Cherry Picked for the dense parts. I’ve used IK Ampeg SVX for some sound
processing. The two guitars (the clean and the overdriven one) in the
song are both CoreGuitar Strawberry (of course!) processed with IK
Amplitube Metal.” – Peter Andersson

1st Place: Peter Andersson – Cherry Choke
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009Free Jazz Funk Drum Sample Library
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009A while back I sampled a jazz/funk drumset. It’s a small kit–a kick, snare, two toms, and two cymbals–just like something a jazz drummer would play at a gig or recording session. In terms of jazz drums, I’ve always been in favor of small kits. Skilled jazz drummers can make a single drum sound very expressive, bringing out its character.
It was with this in mind I sampled this drumset. It features unique and rare drums, and cymbals and has an excellent tone suitable for jazz and funk.

Batch Renaming Samples
Saturday, October 3rd, 2009Here’s a cool trick for Windows users that will save you from buying batch file renaming software (or spending hours trying to find good freeware batch renamers). Not to mention most batch renamers are very basic and do not allow duplicate rules for renaming–for example searching for text and renaming the filename accordingly. This method of batch file renaming uses the .bat file format, which can be created in Notepad.
