By the way, there is an easier way to get to the last page in Splice. When you go to page 2, you can see that the URL ends with "?page=2", so just change the 2 to 100, that is "?page=100". When you press enter you will be at page 100
@@aaronbazil Yes, but, in their website you can enter a higher number than the maximum they allow, and they automatically change it to the maximum they allow. For example, if instead of "?page=100", you enter "?page=200", when you press enter you will still get page 100. That's for the splice page only. Every webpage is different.
because it's not rating per se. It's just "popularity". Probably tons of decent samples that just drowns in the sea of samples and won't get downloaded a lot. Might also be part of a less desirable sample pack.
Perhaps a sample like this doesn't belong to the author, and he just cut it from someone else's work. Anyone who understands how copyright works will try to avoid samples like this to avoid having to clean up afterwards.
I feel like the spirit of the challenge is to not avoid the really crappy samples on the last page and simply cherry picking the most underrated ones. The video was pretty cool overall though ^_^. Thanks for the content!
That's probably because you can't really get bad samples onto splice. Even though I found some samples I actually considered to be bad, when I think about it now, I wouldn't call any sample on splice a bad sample. Some samples might be unpopular, because they only work well if you mix them together with other sounds from a sample pack or they just work for a specific genre or style, that might be kinda unpopular.
It just goes to show that the industry is cluttered and confusing. People don't want to use certain samples because they lack true creativity. With the tools we currently have access to in this industry it comes down more than just knowing how music sounds, but how to utilize software programs and have knowledge of FX and filters. That is how the industry stays niche and filters out the copy cats and lazy people who don't want to learn new skills. You clearly have good creativity and knowledge of music production and processing. I liked it. It sounded great for using the "worst" samples.
This is such an interesting idea. I love it. I did learn to things in this one. You are very amazing at processing and two I need to start rehearsing brass sounds in my music.
I love the fact that I use almost all your Daw and plugins lol the only one I don’t have is Valhalla reverb but FabFilter one works fine. Even the ones out of the box with Logic are decent.
Btw, if you can see this comment Big Z, I wanted to let you in on a secret sauce as well broski: SPLICE BRIDGE plugin. Allows you to audition the splice sounds WITHIN the DAW, and synced to the Bpm. It's free to download and use btw.
Maybe rating of samples is just depends on creativity of creators, thats good point to looking also around worst rated samples, because a gem that you looking for, may laying deep down in worse rated
oh bro this is amazing!!! you have your knowledge of how to make certain sounds and effects down to a t... where did you learn it and do you have a course that teaches what you demonstrated?
Oh MAN that final product was INSANE! I gotta try challenging myself like this to see what I can come up with because this was just incredible! It may also help me with my current writer's block. :)
If there's thousands of pages of samples in Splice, you'd not chosing the worst samples but the worst of the top100 pages, that could be among the best still.
Proves sounds don't matter if you skilled...there's always room to tweak sounds to make them fit...the thing we really should talk about is the question...search/browse longer for better fitting sounds or use the first ones even if they're not perfect...
Big Z! I notice your wild EQ curves. Some of the seem to be quite extreme but in the context of the mix they sound great. I'm going to scour your channel for anything related to your EQing decisions. Is there any videos you recommend? The most I really do for EQ's are simply bell curves, just a few DB. (Other than cuts / shelves) Love the channel thanks for all the content!
most of the time eqing alot is much needed, i'd say dont be afraid to even though you'll make mistakes along the way (mostly having thin mixes), you'll learn where you're making them and will master eqing along the way.
Usually the best EQing is made by smooth bells and shelfs! If you find yourself doing a lot of bands on the EQ, you should get better samples or synth patches.
