Some more about the technology being used.

For the past few days I have been working on putting together some cues for a new demo.  I’ve also been using this time to get to know Native Instruments Kontakt 4 a bit better.  I have been a long time EXS24 user, and have a large collection of my sound libraries in EXS format.  EXS24 is Logic Studios sampler, a virtual instrument that lets you use your computer and MIDI keyboard to play back the sound of just about any instrument.  I have had Kontakt around in my studio since version 2.  The program was a bit CPU heavy for the computer that I was using, a G5 dual 2.0.   In February I installed Logic Studio 9 on my mac book pro and have been working mostly with Kontakt from that point.  Logic Studio 9 has a great new feature called Bounce Regions.  Using this function you can get around almost any CPU problem.  It makes things so much easier, especially if you are dealing with a lot of AU plugins, high track counts and heavy sample libraries.

I have been doing most of my MIDI programming with a MAudio 88 Key controller.  In addition to that I have been tweaking more and more of my sound libraries so they work my Akai’s EWI USB.   The EWI is an instrument that lets you work with MIDI, except playing an instrument similar to saxophone instead of a piano.

Most of the sounds you heard in the demos above are from Kontakt, EXS and the Garage Band Jam Packs. Their are also a few of my own custom goodies in their as well.

If you have any questions about the technology or the process in creating these tracks cues just leave a comment below and I will answer.

Thats all I have to say.
