Wasting Time: Creating a Kontakt Sample Library of Clocks
For funsies I decided to try making my own personal sample library from a collection of alarm clocks, for no other reason than I had the clocks... and it's about time they started to contribute something to the household. My cat sure isn't going to do it. But I also spend a good amount of time lecturing everyone about a tangentially related topic while also belaboring the heck out of a very obvious analogy. I'm beginning to think it's my main talent at this point. I'm also banned from using the words "time" and "table" for the next several months. I've overused my yearly allotment, and I'm not keen to be arrested for word crimes at the moment.
Nonethless... if you just want an overview of the Kontakt sample library creation process, I got you covered.

    At the end of your video I realized the reverb effect didn't quite compensate lack of the resonance box. I'm trying to figure out how this problem can be solved using sound effects? Or just print out the entire instrument, and make it sound more traditional? Anyway, that was interesting.

    • @ComposerKristin
      @ComposerKristin 4 місяці тому

      I think most people who are looking for a more acoustic sound just mic up an acoustic. I've never heard an electric that doesn't sound at least a little... well, electric. I believe I was using one of the basic reverbs inside Guitar Rig Pro? (I really need to get better about taking notes along the way). So, it's possible that a different effect and/or pedal would do a better job. Also, weirdly enough, my "real" electric is a Zeta Jazz, and... this little 3d print sounds less "electric" to me than that one. I have no idea why, but... the pickup also matters here. Both of these things are something I'd like to experiment with more towards the end of the year, though. Fun experiments! And thanks for tuning in! 🎻

      @@ComposerKristin No problem Kristin, I used to compose music since C64 and then Amiga500. Hundred years ago and I totally understand your passion. Thinking about it I recollected if you find the right sample, you can make your violin sound like entire orchestra. Or like you said pedal or rather sound effect where you can mix effects together. It takes time to find the sound you'd want to get, but that's the beauty of experimenting, and fun on its own. If comes to getting rid of electric sound. I wouldn't. In my comment I was referring to the sound of traditional violin which is more 3 dimensional and powerful. And I was thinking how to get the same result on electric one. And then realized, it can sound even more powerful w/ proper samples and effects. Good luck with your experiments.

I'll have the stls up shortly, so you're welcome to give building this a try and report back what worked best for you.

Apparently Digital Performer and Performer did technically exist at the same time by this point, but I don't think the first version or two of Digital Performer were particularly accessible to most people. It wasn't until the late 90s/early 2000s that actually recording to your hard disk like we do today was feasible for the average composer/musician. If anyone remembers/has experience with those early Digital Performer versions during this time... comment!

    The lovely wonky sound is the benefit of it being too short. It's impossible to control the peg position on a short string as the pressure also increases the string tension too much. (Chicken & Egg problem) I kind of get that the wonky sound was probably part of the highly desirable feature set, but if you make it longer, you will be able to actually control the pitch to some extent. And of course, the wheel edge shouldn't be 3D printed you can glue a wooden veneer on it, sand it smooth and use rosin.

    Kristin, just finished the entire performance. I wonder if you would be amenable to a “how to” video on how a work like this is performed and recorded. For instance, do you play into a looper and then the looper’s output is fed into your DAW’s inputs? Or do you loop the performances within Ableton itself? I have no idea if your listeners would be interested, but I would like to see your techniques in making a similar short piece.

    • @ComposerKristin
      @ComposerKristin 6 місяців тому

      Wow, thanks for watching all that, LOL. Honestly, I still haven't figured out who the heck my audience is yet (or... even what _I'm_ doing), but I wouldn't be opposed to making a video like that at some point. The Cliff Notes version this is: it's all in Ableton. I was actually working off my desktop that's situated behind me in a too-awkward-to-film-in location (Long HDMI/audio/USB cables + a little portable flatscreen I'm viewing on. Violin + mic was plugged directly into my MOTU mk5 interface). Theoretically that would give me more processing power than a laptop for everything, but probably 30 minutes or so near the end the audio in my headphone playback was jittering a lot from the massive amount of tracks/effects I was piling on. Thankfully the recorded file didn't reflect this, but... I'm going to need to come up with a more stable system and/or use way less effects, I guess. Whether that means adding looper pedals or a mixer + some sort of external recording device I'm not sure yet. I probably should get on that, hmmm.... Slightly longer addition: What you see on the video is literally my first time attempting a whole live setup like this. I mostly use Ableton just in a writing/production situation. The day before I set up a template with random sample sounds/effects I liked in different tracks, so they'd be easily accessible. Otherwise, I just kind of went for it, assuming I could scrap it and re-record if it was a disaster. I guess I lucked out! It's kind of a mystery to me, too. :)

      @@ComposerKristin thanks for that. I do a similar “Frippertronics” thing in Reaper. There are loops that are endless during the recording process and you have to watch for feedback, so not to ruin your work. Always fascinated to see how others achieve similar results.

    A little late for Halloween for me but love the look and the sounds. You should do more of these lengthier improvs.

    Great vid.. I've done this many times with my (many) PC88's.
