21:51 them drums sounded righteous when they came in. Man I was like this instruments is okay at first, but when you put that track together at the end it took it up a notch for me. Love and appreciate your review videos. Gives us that real world video without too much technical jargon. Big ups as usual!
Thanks for the support man, yeah I try to make a little something in my vids depending on the product, to give in idea of how it could be used as I think it gives a better context. Thanks for the comment.
Nice review! FYI the latest release 3.5.2 allows you to use the arrow keys up and down to scroll, right to drill down, and right again to load.
PeteC75 Yep I seen it, you can also midi assign it now.
I'M HERE IN 2020... I'M GOING TO GET SAMPLE TANK 3...HOWEVER...4 IS OUT BUT THE LOOK OF IT IS JUST DARK AND GLOOMY....I'LL JUST STICK WITH 3...LISTENING TO IT I THINK IT IS THE BEST CHOICE...YOU CAN GET SOUND PACKS FOR 3 IF YOU WANT MORE SOUNDS....TO ME THEY MESSED UP 4 THEY SHOULD HAVE LEFT THE LOOK OF IT ALONE !!
thanks for watching
Nice one, I agree about the lack of clear key zoning.It should be visible at all times.
Thanks for watching man, yeah it definitely should be.
Great video, thanks for taking the time to produce it. Love your studio, very cool!
***** Thanks for watching, appreciate the comment.
Man this along with Maschine Studio new 2.2 Chord and arp update mixed with over 60 of my Kontakt libraries and this 88key Korg KronosX I'm not sleeping but the new update in Maschine makes a lot of new and old things come to life.
kevin norton no doubt fam, how you diggin that kronos?
SoundsAndGear.com it's funny it's a Dream feature packed I was with Good friend TomiToniTonis Dwayne Wiggins who had one first now I'm all in the Box I use pretty much everything you have in your videos Arturia Keylab49 as my main controller but when I got the KronosX I been using that as a Basic controller yea a 3800$ as a midi controller lol but to answer your question it has some what I call quick Tink sounds I pull from it but for a person who wants to learn the whole maschine it's endless.As I start on this new 112 Record and Disney Pop group in the next few days I will use the KronosX key section banks as I said I have everything linked to Maschine so the new Chord and Arp mode just brings out everything in a person's studio the fact I can turn on arp or chord mode on let's say The KronosX or a patch in Reason 8 or Sampletank3 or my Ultra nova 2.2 if your a Maschine user was a game changer sorry for my winded answer but I'm a Gear Head Alongside Grammy nominated Producer Keep up the Great Work and Videos man.
kevin norton No doubt fam I feel ya, just wondering what you though, I checked it out a lil bit but ended up with a Roland.
Yea I like the Roland But I already had the Full Roland Keyboard in a Kontakt Kit and I loved the 500 Gig HDD and USB 2 0 ports the Korg had Buy I love Roland I use to own a Fantom X6 Now I have all there new Keyboards in Kontakt witch you can get the KronosX in Kontakt I think But there was just way more features on the Korg and dawayne Showed me so much I was sold.
kevin norton Word fam, I rather have the board than Kontakt instruments, but that's personal preference. I was looking at the Kronos too, def some dope stuff on there. I use as sound devices so sequencing and everything isn't really important to me, I just want access to sounds fast lol.
thanks...you did a great job at showcasing this program. I have 2.2 version...but this one rocks even more.
+James Eagles Thanks for the comment!
Saint Joe, great review as always. I find Sampletank 3 (based on your review, and other demo's) like Sampletank2 to be sonically pretty average. Nothing quite jumps out at me to make me want to purchase (I do own ST XL). I will however admit the layering ability within the plugin is pretty dope. Just wished they offered better quality sounds over quantity. Keep doing what you do!
Yeah it's a decent bread and butter workstation, I was surprised by a few things like the bass sounds I thought they were above average. Everything else is decent, eps, organs, strings, guitars were nice also.
Philo Beddoe There's some slides and such in there, and some fret noises. They sound cool, and you can choose to use them or not as well.
Have you checked out Zebralett? Powerful Synth & Free Great sound's. It's worth downloading & no iLok needed.
Watchman4u Yeah, I think I messed with it when it first came out.
SoundsAndGear.com Have you checked out Amplitube by IK? It's for Amp sim's FX...it's free & you can do more than guitar & Bass w/it , it has a 4 track recorder for quick ideas..I brought a Drum loop in & started slowing the Tempo down & messing with the pitch in the 4 trx then added FX , the result is a trx that sound's like a Synth nothing like a Drum loop. I do mostly Guiar Bass & Drums based music , but I can see that any one could use this Great Tool & you can buy more Amp's FX's ...Rack Gear is included as well as stomp box's many routing options & very easy to navigate very intuitive.
I think you are being very generous with you star rating Saint Joe... Id give it 3/5. After 10 years of waiting... this is the best they can come up with? Im still getting importing issues with legacy libraries... The sounds are quite cool but I think the overall product is already behind the competition...
I just look at it for what it is, to me a 4/5 means it's usable, a bit beyond just average. I feel the bass instruments could have stood on their own as a product honestly. And some of the other instruments were really well done. However, I also realize it's meant to be a workstation, bread and butter instruments, so in that case there really isn't much that would or could be ground breaking. Though I also haven't been waiting for 10 years, but I know I really didn't like the instability issues of the previous verison and the interface was just too small. Thanks for the comment man I appreciate it as always!
Dope review, as usual. Believe it or not I got the full version Sample Tank 3 for free when I bought their iRig multimedia midi keyboard. I'd never heard of Sample Tank until then and I can't believe my good fortune getting it for free. It has now become one of my most go-to tools. The way you can just drag the midi clips onto an Ableton track is the shitz. Also, if you know of better sounding piano samples I'd like to see them. All of the samples are top shelf, but the piano samples are what sets this apart from everything else, in my opinion. I feel fortunate to have Sample Tank in my arsenal. Especially for free...
Cool, thanks for watching! Definitely a good deal for free. As for "better" there are tons of different pianos, it's all about what you're looking for and what you like. If you dig what's in ST3, then enjoy it, it's a great plugin.
Great video, I agree with others, nothing ground breaking here, just a varied selection.
Thanks for watching, I agree as well, straight forward bread and butter sounds.
A big selling point for me is the new SampleTank 3 is 64 bit. I have to play the Total Workstation bundle in the 32 bit version of Sonar. But all my other soft synths play in the 64 bit version. So all you have to do is get this, and you import legacy instruments, the other 4 programs into it, so everything will play in 64 bit. Sonik Synth, Sample Moog, Sample Tron, and Miroslav.
Ryk Comerford Yeah lots of people were waiting for that.
This guy knows his stuff. Wish I did.
Thanks for watching! I'm sure you know some stuff too!
best representation of ST3 yet!.. However .. im still curious to know how you think it fairs against its predecessor , i mean .. for those of us who have ST2 ... is this REALLY more than a cosmetic change in the UI .. or would YOU say it was definitely worth the upgrade price point.
I would say it's worth the upgrade, some of the bass sounds are really good imo as well as the guitars and organs. Some of the sounds take longer to load though do to them being much larger, however I really just didn't like the interface of the previous version. The mixer and inclusion of the fx is nice as well. Maybe you have some jampoints you can use to get a discount? :)
Sample tank 4 out. Can't wait for the review!
Yeah, it looks good! Personally I've been using the iOS app more than the desktop, hope the updates come to the app too lol
Thanks for all the reviews you do I really appreciate it.
I wish I was you're brother, the amount of toys I could play with :)
Respect
Darren Hirst Hahaha, no doubt fam, thanks for the support!
Hi, nice review. Do you think it contains "enough" orchestral samples? I don't see what extra Miroslav Philharmonik can bring to the table.
+cardos Miroslav is dedicated exclusively to orchestra sounds, where this may just have some included. You may get more options, articulations, etc, in a dedicated orchestra library. There are also other higher end orchestra libraries that just sound better.
+SoundsAndGear.com Thanks! Have a great day :)
Very nice demonstration, I really like your interest in this stuff. Keep it up, I wish you well in your endeavors. You definitely encouraged my interest in mine!
Thanks for watching!
Great video! My only problem with SampleTank, SampleMoog, etc, is since I switched to Sonar X3 (32 bit), I've noticed it crashes the DAW. I upgraded to SampleTank 3 on the hopes that it would fix this problem, but X3 won't even show up when I go to VSTs within the DAW (if I just go to the folder on my computer, I can see the dll file). Not sure what's going on with IK Multimedia files and Sonar, but it sucks (note: All my other 3rd party plugins and vsts work just fine. Amplitube and T-Racks also work). Weird. Just running SampleTank 3 in stand alone works and sounds great, by-the-way.
ST3 is only 64 bit now so that may be the issue.
INSTALLED SAMPLETANK ON WINDOWS 10 AND USING STUDIO ONE 4 INSTALLED THE SAMPLES IN MY DOCUMENTS ETC AND WHEN ONPENING UP SAMPLETANK THE INSTRUMENTS DOESNT SHOW ONLY ON THE PATTERNS BUT THERE IS NO SOUND
Not sure what the issue is, contact IK to see what they say.
Thanks I got it working I just installed everything with administrator rights
Ahh ok, glad you got it!
Good stuff. I would like to see a video on importing .wav files and using the Pitch Shift/ Time Stretch. Liked what I saw from a video on it but it only skimmed over it. I would also like to know if there are any known issues with loading .wav or mp3's? The demo doesn't allow importing, therefore, I'm left with no answers. Please let me know!
I don't use it in that capacity, I only use it for playing back instruments so I'm not sure.
How is the sound quality compared to Komplete? I'm thinking about adding it to my collection.
Sounds good, there's a lot more in komplete though, since it's more than one instrument. Just depends on what you want and how you like to work.
so,this is a plugin for maschine,is there any video that show how to open it in maschine and how to record in maschine?
yan beats This isn't specifically for Maschine, it works in any host that can load plugins. Ableton, Logic, Pro Tools, Sonar, Studio One, etc.
Hey, something I'm trying to find out that you might want to mention going forward. Maybe it's just my DAW, but I have orchestral essentials and love their raw epic tones but notice the attack is always so slow in the envelope and even changing that doesn't do much. Then I try the ones that come in Kontakt's library and they attack instantly but sound rather thin or lifeless. Does this sampletank have better tone than the standard kontakt 5 library and also lacks that attack issue on the notes for the instruments that attack instantly like trumpets, trombones, etc. I can just move the midi tracks to the left to line up the initial best part of those notes, but figure there's better ways
I'm not really a fan of Kontakt's standard orchestra but it's really a personal taste thing, and how you use them. That's also why there are so many orchestral libraries out here. I don't think everything in here sounds good orchestral wise either, but there are some usable sounds to be found.
I liked the keys in here but between rig and addictive keys cant get much better than that lol. Im an audiophile btw. Worse is im not a big synth fan like thay swagg plug in. I like that funk and dont want to sample haha. We musicians can get picky right? Still saving up for vintage horns. Then ill be set til you drop more knowledge lol.
Mindyour Tongue We are similar, I prefer more real instruments as well. I like a good synth, but my music is rarely synth heavy. Mainly instruments with a synth lead or something. I definitely love keys, guitar, strings, horns, etc.
If I use a synth, it's like I did here soundcloud.com/art-vasch/new-suit like that old school moog style that you'd hear in the tail end of the motown era when it started getting electric, but before it went pop. Just met this dude you should check out if you can, he plays classical violin over beats. I think it's a hot concept and he's a cool guy. Don Destin? I thought it was this crazy awesome synth lol, but yeah, good stuff. Just found out minutes ago so it's fresh on the brain, had a long talk with him about some production stuff. I know you're going to recognize some of those melodies, btw lol. You helped me find them
Mindyour Tongue no doubt man
I just have question...i used sampletank3 trial version, but when i try to play there was so much delay of about 1 second or more...what do you think is the cause? my laptop is Sony i5, 2.3 processor and 4 gig ram... help me pls i want to buy this software...thanks...
+olartjojo probably your audio buffer settings
Great review. Is this plugin still relevant in 2017?
Thanks for watching, not sure what you mean as far as relevant. Still useful? Yes. Depending on what you're looking for.
Can you show how to use sample tank with studio one. I can't seem to find it and no one has been able to help me.
Once you install it, you open it as a plugin. You need to have Studio One Producer or higher since you can't use plugins in Artist.
Interesting that Omnisphere is older 6 years and sound quality is way better and sonicly is much different, what irony.Thanks for review, love your reviews.
Omnisphere is a totally different beast imo, it's not meant to be a "general workstation" like SampleTank. So I wouldn't use it in the same way as ST, which is more for those bread and butter type sounds. Thanks for watching!
Hey, nice video. Do you know if you're able to save " assign control" commands? I'm in the organ patches and I assigned my mod wheel so it can sound like I've added a Leslie to it. But when I get out of the patch and come back it didn't save. I lose what I did. Do you know if I'm able to save? Thanks.
Not sure, you may have to save the patch
@@SoundsAndGear How do i save the patch? I didn't see anything that said save.
@@faithmusic9 haven't used it in a while but there is a save option
Sir how are you doing?, am sorry I have just downloaded sampletank to day but I can't access all sounds like yours can I get help because in their website the contents are not present
Pretty sure they are on version 4 now, but you'd have to ask them I do not make the product. All downloads should be in your account.
@@SoundsAndGear in my account everything is on sale no sound content
@@valence7377 I don't know, you need to get with them.
@@SoundsAndGear ok sir if possible you may try to zip only the sound content libraries then we negotiate on how you may send them to me as well as their price. Thank you
@@valence7377 No
Question i got tank 2tank 3 works fine in cubase 7.5 and logic 9 i been searching on Google to find out how to install in pro 10.39 only shows tank 2 but with out any samples but i only need tank3 to be install i try different ways but no luck any idea s how the plugin shows on pro tools but it wont in the instrumentals plugin i know is only on 64 bit tks
I would suggest you contact IK support to see if they can help.
Hey thanks for your response I bought the keylab 61. love the keybed action. I just wished the mod/pitch wheel was larger.
I was wondering if sounds could be added to it because all I have been interested in is a powergrand Motif and a MKS-20 Piano 1/EP 2?
This is my first time seeing something like this for PC that is cheaper and something other than Kontakt 5 so Im kinda excited.
Thankyou
colbalt95 You want to add sounds to SampleTank? I believe they would have to be in SampleTank format unless you plan to map the samples yourself.
SoundsAndGear.com That' the best part of SampleTank, you just load your own wave=.wav files by following the naming convention that goes like...
MYSoundFile C3 v127.wav
Be sure to maintain the spacing between the name | the key placement | the midi velocity, one space should be place between each.
If you have multiple sound files, import all of them at once and follow the instructions on the load -in menu. With this example, I would have loaded one sound file with the name MYSoundFille, and would have been placed on the C3 key of the sampler keyboard, with the midi velocity value of 127 (the maximum midi velocity). You can change these numbers accordingly to arrange your own sounds how ever it make sense in your own head. You can essentially load drum samples all over the keyboard exactly how you want, and change the velocity value to give you more, or less volume for the sounds. Pretty much the best part of the plugin/app. You should make a video of you recording sounds into your daw, chopping them up, saving the .wav, then loading into sampletank and making a track. It's kind of like having a virtual ASR-10, and probably takes the same amount of time to create a sampled instrument. ASR is still way better (I've got an 88), but you get my point.
Ma Ja Cool, I honestly never built sounds in ST, I know people do, I just never had the need.
I am wrong, that was the format for ST2. The new format looks like...
C3 mysound.aif
Just got this and first impressions were good. I thought for so many sounds it had a small library, and therefore would not sound to great. I was pleased with the sounds. The only issue I have is with the stacking of sounds. It tends to have problems streaming from hard disk. Whilst trying to make a brass section it really started to crap out when I got to 5 or more slots loaded.
Although I have a SSD my libraries are on HDD so that could be the problem, but I dont get those problems in kontakt using a lot more sounds.
Id give it 4 subs lol.
Yeah man, I would love for better disk streaming as one of the really useful ways to use ST is stacking quickly.
i had sampletank 3 SE i brought it 2015 i have never used it, been using my mashine mk2 after watching your video i decided to give it a test drive today ill let you know the feed back on it. do you know if it works with the mashine
Cool, thanks for watching.
Great video, I already have ST Xl for some time. Just wondering if your going to do a review on NI's midi S series controllers for Komplete 10? ST 3 is on my radar, thanks.
Thanks for watching man, I'll probably do a review on the controller when it releases, K10 is too big to review at once I just do different products from the package over time lol.
The Controllers control every instrument in K9 and 10 and the controllers (all 3 sizes) have lights behind the keys that light up as in Maschine, crazy. Thanks for the reply. Sounds & Gear 4 life.
***** Yeah, seems similar to Maschne in terms of how it maps automatically.
Dude if you get this over komplete you'll regret it this thing didn't impress me at all I purchased it about a week ago if I could get my money back I would
callofduty0323 I wouldn't recommend this over Komplete at all, and I don't think anyone else would. Komplete is a full suite of multiple products, this is just one product, more comparable to Kontakt than Komplete in my opinion.
Sir how we can change move sampltank 3 or 4 content other drive ?
You should be able to just move it and point to it. Contact IK Multimedia for help/support.
Hello bro, please help me, Can I use Sample Tank's one drum called - "Billy cobhum Drums pack" as virtual instrument ? I mean as you are playing drums like kick in one key, snare in another then hihat n so on & on ? Or it is just only groves loops ?
I am not familiar with that one so I'm not sure.
I'm sure you been asked this but how do you feel the sound quality compares with Kontakt 5 and Halion 5 and does it have an advantage over either one of those mentioned VI's? Thanks
With Kontakt it really depends on the libraries you're using, I wouldn't get this as a replacement for Kontakt personally. I don't own Halion so I can't speak on it. This is a good all around library though.
SoundsAndGear.com
What if you don't have third party libraries? The demos for Kontakt's stock libraries didn't blow me away. This is looking far more appealing.
Another question: all the patches sound quite processed. Can you turn off the effects (it sounded to me like compression and reverb a lot of the time), and send the drums to multiple outputs, for example?
Django Flaherty I'm not a huge fan of Kontakt factory personally, but there's some usable stuff in there. And most of the fx can indeed be turned off.
your doing great. I enjoy the overview of the sounds.
+Tate Jervis Thanks for the support!
#SoundsAndGear
*My man how does sample tank 3 deal with RECALL of user presets??? Before I make the buy I need to know this. I have been doing research on the product and no one seems to know nor discusses HOW TO RECALL PRESETS THAT THE USER MAKES.*
Never used it for that and don't really use this much these days (I use the iOS app more personally) I'd say hit up IK or ask on their forum.
Does it work well with the MPC Renaissance? I'm very new to the VST world. I have what came with the Ren, plus I added the Komplete 10, and now I'm looking for something a little scaled back and with easier access to the sounds.
+JoeBlacula Should work fine you can open it as a plugin in the MPC
+SoundsAndGear.com I just watched your video again my bro, and your info was even MORE so helpful than the 1st time around! I have the Komplete 10, paid 499 for it, and NONE of the Bass sounds sound like wheat I heard you play! The Rhodes sounds that you played sound better than everything that I currently have as well. But just as soon as I was about to make the purchase, I saw that they had free versions on Sample Tank 2. I downloaded ST2, and I can't load it as a plugin. Its giving me the same problems that I had when I I 1st got Complete 10, due to the fact that it wasn't compatible yet with El Capitain. So heres my question; is Sample Tank 3 compatible with El Capitain?
+JoeBlacula I'm not sure, I'm on PC so I can't say. I'd check with them or maybe try the demo/free version.
Now, during May 2017 you get the full version including all 9 sound banks for free if you buy an iRig MIDI keyboard!
I got the 'keys 37' for 60 bucks and noticed when registering. Price of full version is like what... 300 bucks? Crazy!
Wow, nice!
could you paste a link with this offer please? thx
Sure, check link - www.ikmultimedia.com/news/?item_id=10028
Pg TrAxX thanks :)
Hurry hurry :D
Sup SaintJoe, how do i get nexus, sylenth and other vst's to work in maschine? Nice review
Go into your preferences and setup your plugin location from there to where you have the plugin files installed.
Thank you for the review. Great track at the end.
Thanks for watching.
is there a option to slide note effect ? in sampltank 3 ?
Dux Not sure if that is in there specifically or not.
is this audio only ? all i see is a black screen and a logo at bottom right. I am viewing it on my phone using youtube app. all other videos on the youtube are visible.
Nope, it's a video
SoundsAndGear.com thanks for the reply. issue got fixed. just cleared the app cache.
Cool, good news :)
Hey dude, do you use a new instance of Sampletank3 for each track in your DAW?
Yeah that's generally how I would do it, I'm not a fan of setting up multiple MIDI tracks to the same plugin.
Question: Do you know of any plug in, that can give me that single string, muted rhythm sound? (electric guitar)
I'd suggest checking out Orange Tree Samples, they have some great guitar libraries.
Hey, sir. I'm looking for a SampleTank 3 instrument *_Legato Singing Soprano Ahs_* and wanted to know if IK Multimedia was selling instrument sections individually. I see they have some of the sounds on their page (here: www.ikmultimedia.com/products/st4/index.php?p=instruments#instruments) for ST3 as individual products if people are interested in that, but I don't see the one I want. Actually, the entire reason I planned on getting ST3 had a lot to do with that particular sound - and that I wanted to check the others out. Thanks~
Sorry, I'm not sure if they sell them that way or of that specific instrument, you'd have to contact them directly for that info.
Do you know is Sampletank 3 is compatible with OS X El capitan?
+alaguerra1 I'm not a Mac user, I'd suggest visiting their website or maybe their forum to confirm.
hey is it has all libraries inside .. or where to get it..?
Comes with your purchase.
Can you map and or assign in the knobs and pads?
Yeah you should be able to map it to your controller.
I have sample tank 2.5 and it works fine in ableton live lite 8. I got the 64 bit ableton live lite 8 and tried to use sample tank 3 .The sounds are great but it does not work or record properly in either ableton live lite 8 64 bit or mixcraft 7 64 bit which I just down loaded and tried . At least in mixcraft I got it to play properly and record but then it caused mixcraft to crash when I tried to exportmy sample tank midi recording to an audio file. It works fine standalone but if you want to record and export midi to audio, what the hell recording software does it work with as a plug-in? I'd love to know.
Weird, haven't heard of anything like that. I use Live 9, Maschine, S1, etc.
St. JOE HOW CAN I LOAD THIS IN STUDIO ONE OR LOGIC PRO X? IT ISNT RECOGNIZED….
You need to make sure your daw is pointing to the proper plugin folder.
Hard to believe this is almost 4 years old.
Indeed lol, thanks for watching.
I love sampletank 3, but it sucks in double and triple tonguing in an EWI. No matter how low I set up the attack, it just sucks in that.
jaisaqui You may want to look into samplemodeling, they have some brass/flutes that may work well for that.
how do you load sounds? i have a free sounds pack just don't know how to get them in there;~/ sorry if this is addressed in the video
There's an import option at the bottom of the browser.
okay thanx man
CoTheReal Glad to help man.
the import function is dimmed out for some reason;~/ can't use it
CoTheReal Weird, do you have the full version?
Is this Sampletank 3 library part of IRig Pro 37 KEys ?
No, but I think it comes with a smaller version of it.
Thanks for the Vid.
Gonna check this out for sure
Thanks for checking the vid!
hey st Joe something just dawned on me that over the years i've been watching your vids , I've never seen you make a beat from start to finish even though at the end of every video you do a quick something , but it would be cool if you did one just for kicks
+Locutz M I generally don't do beatmaking videos, when I started this channel that's what everyone was doing, I wanted to do something different which is why I mixed it in with the reviews. I really have no plans of doing that, though I do have a few videos on here that are just me making a beat.
Oh word I have to check that out ,and yes I know your prime focus is software and hardware reviews was just wondering what if ? Lol
+Locutz M no doubt lol
Its worth for reggae production?
If it had sounds you like
where are the libraries located...?
IK website
cool, how do you record vocals on maschine softwear please ?
Plug in a mic, go into the sampler, record the mic.
i tried but , still cant seem to add up well, can you please give me a demonstration?
Feel free to checkout my content at maschinetutorials.com
i have the demo version but there's only a piano in the demo.
Ah ok, I think that free version they are releasing new sounds for it on a regular basis?
you might be right about
teeblack06 Yeah I think I saw that on the page for the free one.
ill have to take another look
Nice video, is it better than Omnisphere?
Keep up the great work.
Nah not better than Omnisphere, but also a bit of a different product/angle. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the feedback, blessings.
Depends on what you're looking for. Sampletank 3 sounds like a perfect acoustic instrument rompler. Where as Omnisphere is more dedicated to electronic music. Apples and oranges really. I'd say if you have the money and aren't big into kontakt libraries get this for sure, as well as omnisphere 2
Can you crossgrade from SampleTank 3 Free?
MrAngrybassist I'm not sure if you can or not, I don't think there's any discount though.
I just got this, now, is this bad or not, kos am so ashamed... but i love it. problem is there isnt a library in it.
Cool, as long as you like it that's all that matters.
I have a question. can you demo the Indian sounds
+Tate Jervis Sorry but I no longer have this installed on my computer.
+LuktarGvendur no they sound great. they are usefull. i just want to hear them just in case.
Nah, they sound good, I just go through a lot of products and space is at a premium so only keep the things on my computer I use often.
SoundsAndGear.com okay
+LuktarGvendur you're welcome
I cannot believe that IK put out an incomplete version of sampletank especially based on the looping
Thanks for watching! What part is incomplete?
As I stated the looped samples are imcomplete.
They do not sync after 20 secs that's pathetic and no one is talking about this!
in other words the sample start and end time for the loops were unprofessionally done!
Didn't see the last part when I replied. I guess it depends on the sound/sample, 20 seconds seems like a long time, but I would expect a synth to last that long for sure, not so much for something like a violin for example. Not something I noticed as I hadn't held out a note that long.
Ovs you didn't get what I was talking about.
I was referring to all drum loops not instruments.
Ahh...not sure how I would gather that from your comment but yeah that sucks for sure, I don't use their drum loops so I didn't notice that at all.
Group Buy deal at IK running thru Oct 18, combine that with MF currently running SE at $49.99 and Full for $149.99, and you could get $400 worth of free custom gear software. Great deal for people like me wanting to move all old IK sounds into 64bit, or people wanting to move into Sampletank. Oh, and more people who do it, the more free stuff, so I guess this is being informative and self-serving all at the same time. :) (Currently three free titles would be included.)
+JClaus1221 cool!
I prefer dedicated vocal libraries lol @Preacher At Arrakeen
Can one create a whole beat using sample tank...Drums+piano + bass e.t.c.....And edit also
SampleTank is a sound module, so you'd need to load it as a plugin in your sequencer to make a beat.
@@SoundsAndGear Thank you sir.... I've tried using more than one instrument in the same Sample tank but it doesn't seem to work...so that is to say if I want to use more than one sound on the sample tank I have to load several sampletanks on the DAW
You can do that or you can use it in multi mode and route different midi channels to it. I would say using multiple plugins will be more straightforward.
Very good review, i totally agree with St Joe i found also the sounds to be pretty good when it comes to electric basses, guitars, organs,strings so basically all acoustic sounds are on point but synth sounds are very mediocre.
Laidback Sounds Thanks for watching man, I appreciate it.
hi joe, sampletank 3 is 64bit version onley??
noa romana I'm not sure, I only use 64 bit so didn't check.
SoundsAndGear.com ok no probleme joe,i wanna to instal sp3 yesterday but my host is 32bit. i wish you a happy 2015 joe !! ;-)
noa romana Cool, yeah not sure, same to you for the new year!
SoundsAndGear.com Thx verry mutch Jo !
Jeez! I've been waiting for your review bro!!! Lol
Hahahahaha, no doubt fam.
I just bought the sample tank 3 se for $70. I have $40 credit towards the full version.
+Jason Maxwell Cool
+SoundsAndGear.com cool fam.
Can u use sample tank with maschine
Yeah, you can open it as a plugin in Maschine.
Ok thanks is ther good organs on ther
Aaron Shaw Depends on what you're looking for, I go through many of the sounds in this video.
Ok cus I'm Goin to get it I here it has alot of good loops
Aaron Shaw Cool, I didn't really mess with the loops but there are a lot of patterns in there for sure.
Everything in this VST takes FOREVER to load for me. When i open the VST it take forever to load the database, and picking random sounds also takes forever.
Is there anything I can do?
I don't think there's any settings for the loading time, outside of trying to store the data on a different drive.
Could be your pc...do u have a lot of ram? And a good processor
Great video! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
I wish I had ST3, i wish I had a midi controller, i wish i could play the keyboard haha!
I hear ya! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for this nice video !!
Thanks for watching
Great video thanks!
HarveyKarate Thanks for watching!
Am I so naive that after using SampleTank since it was first available that I feel forced to upgrade my computer the 64bit just so I can continue to give IK my money to use the newest version ? I feel it is a slap in the face that a dedicated user can not use the latest version. Or, am I just splitting hairs and SHOULD have a 64bit OS ?
I use SampleTank 2.5 (I like the Acoustic Guitars) with Omnisphere and Trilian.
Johnny synth I think it's just a matter of them supporting the majority, many folks are runing 64 bit OS these days, but I understand your frustration for sure.
Thanks...I got it...God bless...
+olartjojo Glad to help!
Не далеко ушла IK Multimedia по звуку от версии для IOS....(((.
Have you tried the solo vocal patches, lol? They're f'ing terrible. Worse I've ever heard since my Commodore 64 days, hahaha!
i dont't see any libraries in it..
You have to install them.
Sadly, it runs exclusively under a 64-Bit DAW. So no Cubase 5.
There's no 32 bit version at all? Wow, I didn't even check that.
SoundsAndGear.com I know, me too! I tried running the demo to see if it's worth purchasing and it didn't load up as a VST.
After googling a while, i found out. Kinda sad, I love the sounds in ST3.
123sh4d0w321 wow...that's strange indeed.
I Love em Basses....Period!
The bass was really good in my opinion.
All you're doing is auditioning sounds. Where is the review of features?
That's the point of the video, to see what it sounds like. Mentioned at the beginning. Peace.
Nice thanks for the info I'll think I'll pass on this one
No doubt, glad to help fam!
