Analogue Press The Sampling Handbook

Written by Marcus Huyksens of Bad Cat Samples, The Sampling Handbook details the entire process of creating a custom sample library for Kontakt (even the book’s “virtual cover” looks like a Kontakt library box) from start to finish including:

• The Pre­Planning Phase (choose which instrument to record, how to pre­plan your recording session, which microphones and pre­amps to use and how to get your recording environment set up correctly).
• The Recording Session­ (how to set your recording levels, organise your session, tips for working with the session player, how to manage the instrument and keep tuning consistent…).
• The Editing Session­ (learn how to use noise reduction on samples, pre­processing, pitch correction, session organisation, workflow, the waveform, chopping samples, transients, fades and fade types, naming structure, exporting your samples…).
• Kontakt Scripting­ (learn the basics of Kontakt scripting, extending the key ranges, working with groups & round robins, using automap, adding effects, adding factory scripts, adding custom wallpapers, adding a custom impulse response, exporting your instrument and more).
