decisions

getting started

I’m a keyboard player. I haven’t purchased n-track yet but I’m wandering (because I’m a real novice at this) if there are sampled sounds within this program. Any help would be appreciated.

A few (drum sounds), but mostly people buy VSTi samplers for that sort of thing.

And there are many good Vsti's and sound fonts that are free too.

n-Track comes bundled with DaHornet - a VSTi clone of an old classic synth The Wasp and n-Track Strings.

Speelmanv, are you specifically interested in sampled sounds? OR also synthesized ones? Sampled sounds are usually pretty expensive to produce, at least good ones, and that has not been an emphasis in the development of n-Track. There are programs that do come with sampled sounds (e.g., I used Orion, and it comes with some nice samples for the sample player, and a nice grand piano, and some drums), but even with those programs, everyone who likes sampled sounds ends up buying sample packs and sampled instruments. And I bet you know that the good ones are usually pretty pricey. In any case, it then becomes a question, not of what the program comes with, but how it handles all the sample players.

Well, what’d’ya think, speelman?
