Ask me anything - NS3 earning its keep

Post by **ericL** » 23 Sep 2021, 01:22

Thanks for all the interest in this! I have a crazy schedule with some vacation coming up, though I will try in the next few days to at least post a few Programs. The main thing is that some of my Programs might not make any sense to NS3 users unless I provide you a walk through of how I use it. So I'll also try to do a quick video demo for the most popular requests here. Forgive me if that part of it takes a little longer.

Thanks,
Eric

This is what I like in this community : sharing initiatives not business-oriented !

I also have many programs for both NS2 and NS3 I can share.
But I do agree some may require some "explanations" and many are just piano or EP+pad.

This is what this board is all about : you can quickly start from a fresh program or load someone else work and you will tweak it to your needs !
Another thing I found out over the years, is that a program shared here in the forum will trigger this song proposal in my cover band

Most of all, saving so much time with all those already customed programs is priceless !

Thanks for the future sharing !

Hey friends, I had promised to share a few Programs before I head out for some vacation. I picked a few that were requested more than once and will upload the files here, along with some rough YouTube videos that show how I use the sounds. Forgive my playing and the "live" sound quality. For some of these sounds, there may be samples needed to go along with the Programs. Most should be from the Nord Sample Library and some were found on this forum. I'll start with just the Programs and can go locate specific samples later as needed (or tell you where to find them). I was thinking about doing Bundles, though I'm using XL pianos for some of these sounds and the Bundles would be pretty large. I think most of you can get the idea of the sounds from just downloading the Programs.

A few caveats to the Programs above, in case I didn't fully describe things enough in the YouTube videos (which in retrospect are kind of long and boring, LOL).

Anything with an organ sound will be routed to Output 3 as I always use a Ventilator. Most of the pianos will be Imperial XL or possibly Silver XL, plus CP80 Amped...you can easily substitute your piano of choice to the Programs. Any samples could already be in the stock NS3 memory or might need to be downloaded separately. I believe most are in the Nord Sample Library and a few came from this forum. As you start to review them and you find a sample that is missing, let me know and I can either point you to it, or I can go and grab it from my NS3 to upload to this thread.

Enjoy! I'll do more when I get back from vacation.

These videos are quite interesting for me, as I still am a beginner in sound creation and band playing.
I couldn't see them as the links were a mix of a link and an iframe thing - probably not what the forum software expected (pure YT web address).

Thanks a lot, even if I'm not a rock player!

Sorry if my embedded YouTube things are not working across all platforms - they seem to show up ok on my Mac. Here are direct links to each of the videos I posted earlier.
