Windows IE Problems...

OK so when you go to the page and are prompted to open the downloaded file cancel out of the error pages.
Hit the extract button the all files selection will be already checked go ahead and extract and it should work just fine.
There should be a folder on your desktop

Ok what is the duration for the track? and there is nothing but beat samples, would be good to throw in some other samples as well.

darksideofthetune · Post by **darksideofthetune** » Sat Aug 01, 2009 3:07 pm

Those beat samples can be stretched, pitched, and manipulated to make a cool track. I was thinking 1-2 minutes. I've been working with these sounds and have come up with some great stuff. Good luck! Im extending this until August 14th. Bring it!

probably not done

\/ no there's definitely enough, ill try to do somethin more lively and less quantised with em next

darksideofthetune · Post by **darksideofthetune** » Mon Aug 03, 2009 4:44 pm

Sounds cool, are these samples too minimal for you guys to make a track purely from them? I use the MPC so there is alot of stuff you can do with them. I do understand not all of us are MPC users! Let me know..

DSOTT is featured on this months Electronic Musician podcast. They say buying our kits is a no brainer for anyone wanting good sounds! whoo! Skip to 26:12

Just downloaded the pack, a better bass would of been nice.
What is the extended finishing date?

darksideofthetune · Post by **darksideofthetune** » Thu Aug 06, 2009 4:05 pm

I know its really just a 808 style kick but I have faith in you! The date is August 14th.

deadly_habit · Post by **deadly_habit** » Thu Aug 06, 2009 11:32 pm

haha extended to the 14th maybe i can get something done then

djsupple · Post by **djsupple** » Fri Aug 07, 2009 7:22 pm

Plenty of time then.
Although it is hard to get a decent lead out of the samples.

You can make lead sounds by doing this...
