Chia Interview
99Sounds: First of all, thank you for releasing this incredibly cool collection of vinyl sound effects on 99Sounds! Can you tell us a bit more about your vinyl sampling process? Which gear did you use, which records have been sampled, etc.? How long did it take you to create this pack? Did you have fun along the way or did it become more of a chore after a while?
Chia: No, please, don’t mention it. Thanks for having me! The recording and compilation for the pack took about seven months between November 2013 and June 2014 in my free time while studying at university.
At first it was just a folder of interesting samples I accumulated and set aside for myself while I was working in digitizing my vinyl collection, but after a while it became apparent I wasn’t using them so I figured they could help out other people’s productions so I decided that once I got enough I could give them away as a free pack. I DJ more than I produce so it was never really a chore for me — just a natural byproduct of using my turntable.
Technical Details
All vinyl crackle samples included in Vinyl Sample SFX were recorded on a Numark TTUSB turntable connected to Audacity. Records used were innumerous, ranging from 78s from the 1950s to 7″s from the ’70s-80s as well as a few modern 12″ dance records.
No samples have been EQed, limited, compressed, panned or post-processed in any way. All samples are available in 16-bit WAV format. All recording, editing/cropping, compiling and graphic design done by Chia.
