Get a PC!!!!!! F%%^%$^$%^$%^$$&^&%&CK the sampler!
All the German Italian trance is now created using 80% PC. You just can't get left behind on this audio thing mate...
Total Trance is good - I was sent it from T+S and it very good for the single samples (you import them into Halion on your PC and play them from the keyboard like a real sampler..). The percussion loops are OK but the basslines lack and the kicks are not too hot...
Don't worry though. Get this CD and your new PC and I think it'll keep you happy for at least a year!!! The key to good kicks and bass in hard trance is to sample them off you fave tunes where there's a clear sample at the beginning of the end. We used a sampled bass from Fluclicht 'Icarus' SHOKK mix on our recent MY$T:C DJZ thing on Massive and the kick was sample straight off a record too. I think the bottom end sounded tight....
With the PC you build up tonnes of samples on your hard drive and it's so easy to audition them in programs like acid.
If you need any pointers or techy advice let me guide you through it all when you get your PC. I'm sure other people on this site would love to help too...
