CYCLES VOL. 01: SUSTAINED ENCOUNTERS - http://kellysmusicandcomputers.com/savemoney.asp?c=AP-6511
Our Price:$89.99 We save you: $9.01
Cycles contains two discs: a DVD-ROM containing 24-bit .wav files and a standard audio CD for an easy auditioning alternative. The samples are supplied as 48kHz for use in film, DV, and multimedia productions and 44.1kHz version for compatibility with music production tools. Files are seamlessly looped end to end.  
 
Sustained Encounters is comprised of long evolving aural environments and unfolding atmospheres. An accumulation of years of film sound design and sonic exploration, these textures were individually 'composed' utilizing bleeding edge psychoacoustic processing, designed specifically to be intricately interesting and immersive without being obtrusive to additional content.  
 
CONTENTS:  
 
- Other Realms: longer (30 sec - 2 min) 'otherworldly' compositions that take you on evolving journeys.  
- Atmospheres: big and spacious loops designed to provide an endless immersive field.  
- Environs: loops that are more actively involved, suggesting a 'place' rather than space.  
- Lifeforms: 'walla' loops comprised of non-existent life forms.  
- Textural: an extreme variety of textural loops to supply endless beds of scenic ambience. Sub divided into groups:  
- Complex: multi layered, covering a wide spectrum of sound  
- High: high pitched orientation (some to the point of pain ;-)  
- Low: big bottom end designed to PUSH AIR (subwoofer recommended)  
- Events: incidents, fx and transmutations  
- Immersion: a select collection of undulating 5.1 multi-channel versions.  
 
FEATURES:  
 
The file format is designed for maximum convenience:  
- contains multiple sample rates for quick multiple format support (48Khz & 44.1Khz)  
- uses 24-bit samples to preserve quality and robustness when doing further processing  
- .wav for universal application and auditioning program support  
- 5.1 surround examples are supplied in 6 channel broadcast .wav (SMPTE/ITU order format) as well as 6 individual channel files (for re-configuration into other formats)  
- rhythmic samples include 24-bit REX format files  
- all samples are end-to-end looped for easy use in sequencers or looping applications such as radiaL, Live, Acid or GarageBand.  
 
The organization of the disc has been distilled to the natural essence of the content  
- not too many folders to weed through  
- easily and quickly scrollable audition  
- the filenames are not overly pre-defined. We intended these libraries to be inspirational rather than merely a fulfillment tool. If a sound is called "snare-like" it tends only to be used as a snare.  
 
The audio CD is a much-requested enhancement for ease of auditioning. For example, you can play it in the background during set-up. The files were left in their raw loop state (not head/tail faded) so the 16-bit loops could be ripped if needed. Multiple sounds sharing a track are indexed (for those increasingly rare CD players that will read this information).  
 
The index is a simple and direct document for fast referencing of vital data relevant to the content of each library - file length, loop data, BPM and pitch (if applicable). The audio CD index includes the individual index start times for players that don't read track index points. And both the CD and DVD index are supplied in both PDF and Excel format for easier integration into sound file databases.
