I Made a Musical Discovery

If you're a fan of Hideki Naganuma's music, or just music from the early 2000s in general, you're gonna love this.

I discovered several some old sample CDs that include some of the more obscure samples that Naganuma used, such as the talk box samples from Air Gear and Ollie King. There's probably a ton more in here, let me know what you guys discover!

For those wondering how I got this all to work, here's a quick guide.

First, I downloaded a bunch of .iso files from the Internet Archive post linked below. I didn't get every single one or anything, but I got the ones I wanted (Vol. 18 is what I showed in the video and vol. 16 features the Sonic Unleashed sample I mentioned).

In case you don't know how IA works, just simply go to the download options section on the page and click "SHOW ALL". From there, just click on any of the volumes and it'll give you the download link.

Alternatively, you can also get the .iso files from this website which lists a whole bunch of other samples that might be worth looking into.

Next, download the TX16Wx Software Sampler from their website linked below. Then just go through the installation process and get it into your DAW. I'm not sure how it works with other DAWs, but with FL Studio you just simply go to ADD/ More plugins.../ Manage plugins/ and then click the little folder icon with the plus sign and select the folder that has the TX16Wx vst.

From there you should be able to figure it out, but if you need a more detailed tutorial, check out this guy's video on it.

Once you've got it all set up, you should be able to use ANY .iso files from any sample CD (assuming it isn't corrupted or something).

That's it from me, happy sampling!
