Hi guys,
Did you see that ? There is a nature sourced sample pack from greenpeace associated with a contest.
I might participate.

cool. i’ll have to check out the pack and see if it inspires

thanks for posting!

antismap · February 10, 2021, 5:03pm

yes… don’t know yet which genre to make, house or techno would be the easiest I guess.

slujr · February 10, 2021, 7:23pm

just out of curiousity, were you able to DL this pack? every time I try, the dl button just cocks its head and looks at me as if I’m stupid… aaand no DL forthcoming

antismap · February 10, 2021, 7:32pm

yes, the dl button ìn the email worked for me.
There is also an alternate link to the pack, I’m sending you a pm

slujr · February 10, 2021, 7:50pm

awesome, thanks for the link!!!

Some nice sounds and textures/ambience in here. worth the dl, regardless of the contest, imo

Was it clear to you if we were supposed to make a song using ONLY these sounds? seemed to me like they weren’t particularly strict on that point, but maybe I misread.

antismap · February 10, 2021, 8:04pm

yup, nice stuff in there and its nice to have a sample pack WITHOUT 909 sounds for once
Almost too simple with the preprocessed / categorized stuff
I didnt read any rule that says that we should use only those samples. I will use something else for the kick for sure

Frustrating I’m overflowed these days but this seems inspiring!

The question is how will sound the future? Future bounce? industrial? hardcore? lounge?

Note: this topic would be better in Competitions & collaborations than Renoise songs.

antismap · February 10, 2021, 9:30pm

thanks, I changed the category.
I felt inspired and started something this evening.
Sounds a bit techno / industrial.

used only the sample pack as sound source besides the kick

slujr · February 11, 2021, 7:31pm

cool

Didn’t get selected. Here was my contribution:

@slujr did you make something as well ?

slujr · April 7, 2021, 10:41pm

Nope. started on something, but wasn’t really feeling it, so abandoned ship.

Nice job on your track!

Hi antismap,

I did not have the chance to listen to your track… would it be possible to please share with me the free greenpeace sample pack ? the download link isn’t available anymore…

Many thanks in advance
dave

Hi

Here’s the track. I’m not that happy with the result
The pack is still available here : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HzhL6Yj23YoXXd7dizgAryy6s--ccS0A/view

Thanks so much for sharing Much appreciated !!

The construction of the track is good, and I like the overall style and idea

I think it is missing a bassline to make it more groovy, and the synth at 2:30 I would have used it also in the intro of the track to make it more progressive, like an immersion in the forest. It works nicely after the break. The break is really nice, but the rain sample is a bit loud.

Have you participated to the contest, did they provide any feedback ?

Thanks again for sharing, very nice of you !

antismap · April 23, 2021, 8:46am

Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it !

I agree with you… at some point I was not feeling it anymore, also the sample pack is I think really limited, either you use the samples without too much effects to keep the “nature” style, but then they dont have a lot of musicality or harmony in those samples. Or you play with effects a lot but then you end up with more electronic sounds, which was maybe not the goal of this exercise.

Yes I participated but I wasn’t selected, I didn’t get any feedback, just the info that I wasn’t selected.
