Hive Sound Library - 4 - Cubasis collection

I've added some more new sounds for the #hivesoundlibrary all of which originated from the project I shared as part of yesterday's video post. There are a mix of what we call wet and dry samples here, in other words sounds with or without effects. One of my favourites is the tape delay effect, where you can hear the loose tape "unspooling" in the tail of the sample. I shall talk about effects fairly soon in a post of it's own.

• Sunrizer synth, chord progression IPFS
• Sunrizer synth, chord progression, brassy IPFS
• Sunrizer synth, house keys and drum machine IPFS
• Sunrizer synth, house keys minus drum machine IPFS
• Sunrizer synth, same as above with tape delay (love this effect!) IPFS

About the Hive Sound Library

How to download the samples?

I'll be honest that I'm not sure, I am learning on the-fly regarding how IPFS works and especially NFT Storage which uses the technology to host a fully decentralised file store. We can access the content via HTTP or IPFS if you have the tools installed to do so.

This section will be repeated as a regular piece of footer content for all future posts in this series and I'll update it as the project unfolds.

Will these be minted as NFTs on Blocktunes?

Yes, absolutely, that is all part of the plan. I am in the process of building up my $MUSIC layer 2 tokens in order to be whitelisted and then shall gradually mint the sample loops and full tracks. The details I will reveal in due course.

How often will the library be updated?

In theory, daily, that is the aim. I tend to post no more than two posts a day and for these, I would post one a day. However when other people join the project, you can of course post one each a day and gradually this process will gain momentum. We could later introduce run curation posts. If you've been following me in the past you may know that I've written some #followfriday posts much like #steevc is famous for! Contributors to the #hivesoundlibrary will be featured in those posts when I start them up again.

Can other people add to the library?

Eventually yes, not just yet but please let me know if this interests you. I might invite some people to begine with.

Will there be a community of it's own?

Probably not, Blocktunes works well for us.

What sort of sounds are we looking for?

Here are a few suggestions:

• Electronic sounds derived from synths, drum machines, chord progressions, sequenced or composed, samples maybe but have to be our own creations, not from existing sample libraries. Otherwise copyright becomes a huge problem.
• Accoustic instruments, guitar licks, riffs, chord progressions
• Found sounds, one of my favourite things and this is where samples are ok. Makes drums out of old pots and pans, record and boom!
• Sounds of nature
• Sounds of the city
• Exotic sounds

Tagging posts

All posts will be tagged with #hivesoundlibrary so that we can find stuff again

Useful tools, apps and the things I use for creating these sounds/loops/seqeunces etc

• NFTUp for uploading files to NFT.storage
