Good time for inspiration if you make dark music or to push sales of dark music. Thriller will never die. It’s powered by darkness. Only a devilish imp could of made the holiday Halloween catch on, lol.
I was reading a blog and people were talking about Halloween music and that they were sick of “screamer” cds. Those are the cds you can buy for like $1 that have screams and chains rattling and wolves howling and such. They were going for dark ambient this year.
I finally completed /made 1,000 audio samples. Took forever. I’m kind of jazzed and feel like cranking out more, lol. …but i’ll smartly take a break. The most time consuming samples to make were the drum samples. A lot of tweaking takes place when making one-shots. Bass sounds were the easiest.
All of the first 1,000 samples are free.

I’m planning on making more samples but those will be for a price. I tried to run the website and have it pay for itself with advertising and it does pay for itself but the money it makes doesn’t justify the time i put in. So… it’s green downloads from now on.
While most watched the Super Bowl i recorded/edited 40 bass sounds and added them to my others so now there are 100 bass sounds for music production at audioskull. (all free)
I wish as a kid i knew then what i know now about audio recording. My life would be way different. I wish i had the interest in audio production and sounds like i do now. Time is the killer of all dreams. Time and money i guess. At the end/start of each year i always have regrets about life and past choices i’ve made. I also see each new year as a fresh start to follow whatever dream i choose. Happy 2009 to me. Good luck.
There are 250 extra samples in 40 packs now in weekly rotation for music production at Audioskull. All different types of audio samples and noises like pianos, blips and beeps. I’m going to make beat loop sample packs next. It would be great if i had them all made before 2009, lol.
I recorded and edited 50 bass samples. I thought about making 100 but burnt out half way through. These are bass one-shots or bass stabs… whatever you want to call them. Good for making basslines if you load them into a piano roll or beefing up drum beats.

So i finished a section of my site with 300 drum samples (free). This weekend i will have to work on the 2 other sections of audio samples i have planned. After that i might make a drum loops section but i’m kind of leaning away from that because i already bought a new domain name for a full site like that. Oh, i also have to build my 500 instrument loops section. Damn, i forgot all about that. Good thing i have this blog to make me remember such things.

I’ve been thinking about using Smurf samples in a mash up song i’ve been planning for along time. I’ve never made a proper mashup before. I’m lazy. Yawn.
I should checkout gybo for new mashups to listen to.
I made a bleep sample pack. The pack has 10 bleep sounds in it. 100th of a second on up. It can be downloaded for free here. I’m going to be fussing with where the files are hosted soon. Running an audio download site eats up a lot of bandwidth. I decided to go with less but better samples instead of having GBs of samples that are worthless.
It’s a new year so i tweaked the design of one of my websites. It’s more user friendly and better looking. I still need to make/and upload a lot of content but that will all happen before Easter. Hop-fully lol. Beats
