Kontakt Tutorial: Creating an Instrument from Start to Finish + FREE KALIMBA KONTAKT LIBRARY
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2018
- In this video, I show you the entire process of creating a Kontakt Sample Library in four steps:
1. 00:35 - Recording
2. 01:33 - Noise Reduction (using iZotope RX), Editing & Chopping (using Reaper)
3. 10:09 - Sample Layout
4. 20:38 - and finally: Music
As part of the video, I sample a Kalimba I found in a thrift store and turn it into a Kontakt Library.
The Kalimba Kontakt Library can be downloaded here: www.decentsamples.com/product...

This is by far the most coherent tutorial on this topic that I've seen so far
Yeah I just found him and all his vids are so clear and tidy
Absolutely phenomenal tutorial - not only about Kontakt, but also about Reaper!! 🖤
Thank's again for the video. Today I sampled my piano and created my first Kontakt instrument, and this video was a life saver. Super appreciative that you took the time to make it.
Cheers
This is one of the best tutorials I've ever watched! And your double-role as a technician and a creative artist is just adorable! A thousand thank-yous from my side!
There is an SWS action called "Split items at transients" in Reaper. There's also "Auto trim/split items (remove silence)", where you can determine what should be considered silence (so it doesn't have to be actual silence). Or you can easily write a custom action that does even more for you. No need to do it all manually!
And the grouping functionality also keeps your files aligned to each other, which is a blessing when you have to edit recordings done with multiple microphones.
Thank you so much for your tutorials!
Wow, this video is sooooooo great! Clear, concise, sped up where it needed to be and explanations where they needed to be. Thank you!!!
Fantastic tutorial, David. 4 years on, but still totally relevant. Keep up the good work.
Brilliant tutorial! For me, this has finally unlocked the mystery of sampling instruments using Reaper and Kontakt. I've learned a ton of stuff from this one and am now working my way through sampling an old Casio MT-40. Thanks very much David.
Well. I have to say, after recording, it really didn't take much time to get a functioning library that I can actually use. This is absolutely brilliant. You have opened the doors to creativity to a lot of people. Well done, and a huge thank you!
Videos like these make learning effortless and enjoyable. Thank you, David!
This is so excellently thorough. Cuts at the perfect spots, great explanations, simple to understand, to the point, bruh. I love it! Great job mate! (subscribed)
I was always wondering how all this orchestra libraries were made and got kind of interested in doing one. This is by far the best explanation of it, thank you!
Thank you so much for making this incredibly thoughtful & comprehensive tutorial! I sampled my piano 5 years ago and have been dreading learning this process, but you've made me excited to take it on!
Excellent Tutorial
I kind of knew whats involved in making samples but watching this has given me so much to appreciate and the smooth flow of this tutorial is actually very catchy and addictive regardless oh how much detailed work needs to be done.
BRAVO! and VERY REWARDING and VERY USEFUL.
Thanks so much!
Thanks for the excellent video. The tune at the end was the icing on the cake. Also, thanks for making the library available to download.
That recording workflow was absolutely amazing. Definitely keeping that in mind. Thank you for sharing!
Stumbled on this vid and wow... it was truly a lot of fun! Tedious as you said, but well worth it in the end! Nice job. Thank you!!!
Excellent tutorial! At the end of the video I had a big smile on my face delighted about this little piece of music you've created. Subscribed.
Thanks for another informative video. Learning a little more each time I watch your video and the other video around. Lovely community out there, specially in the Decent Sampler space. God bless you and your family abundantly always! 🙂🙏🏼❤️
Great job. I really like the pace of the video, not to slow but not blazing fast. Easy to follow.
That was wonderful. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and talent.
I'm sure I will refer back to this many times.
Thank you for taking the time to make this! Super informative and helpful.
Dude the whole tutorial was GREAT. sorry for just now seeing this.
Hey! Excellent Tutorial. This is the best tutorial on creating a sample library I've seen, EVER! Thank you.
I struggled with work computers from the first days c. 1990. I felt like the last dinosaur looking at the first mammal.
Your fluidity with the software is awesome!
Adobe Illustrator and PhotoShop set the bar! Revolutionary, in fact. They re-thought what it is to draw, and to digitize the darkroom.
BTW, I took an electronic music with Shep Shapiro at Brown U. back in the day. We had an oscillator that made 3 different sound waves, a keyboard, and 1/2" reel-to-reel tape recorder. That was it!
Two of the best tutorials so far on youtube. Other one being Christian Henson of Spitfire. Thank you very much, David! Subscribed.
Hi David .. Just bought into the Kontakt ecosystem, and just want to thank you for these great videos. I have a ton of experience with other samplers (hardware and software) and your videos strike a really good balance of info. Great stuff for those new to sampling and a good pace for people like myself. Subscribed :)
Hey, it was a great couple of intertwined trainings, I congratulate you, humanity needs this kind of training, you are an excellent trainer, bravo...
Really cool 2 see your workflow , lots of good tips like the initial reaper stuff is goldd. Thank you
Awesome video. This is where I will send my producer friends when they ask why I choose to pay for sample libraries and certain VST’s instead of using cracked versions. Because the time and appreciation that is put into making even just one of the amazing instruments I have access to.
Thank you for this amazing tutorial. Not only did I learn how to make an instrument, but you also showed a few cool tricks in Kontakt and Reaper that I did not know even exist. Now I can't wait to make my own! Subscribing ;)
Thank you so much!! You explained this is great digestible detail that is apparently hard to come by on RUclips these days
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent job Dave!
The tutorial and the instrument are great!
If are start doing kontakt instruments watch this video, you going to save a lot of time!
This is an Amazing Tutorial! You're a great educator, and very good at doing tutorials. Yes, I have subscribed! Thank you for posting.
Thanks for taking the time to produce this video...very helpful.
What an incredibly valuable gem of a video. Thank you.
Loved this. Thank you for your efforts for us all!
This video was really awesome! I love the way you teach. Keep on your videos, I really appreciated this video.
Awesome, thank you. Can't wait to start sampling.
Very well done! I’ve been doing sooo much of this by hand with Audacity...I mean literally for years 🤦🏽♂️ Definitely going to get into Reaper now. Nice work!
David, thanks a million! Fabulous tutorial. It's both understandable and comprehensive without glossing over important details. Love the brutal honesty about the tedium... ;-)
Years ago, I worked in a little bush hospital in the outback of Zimbabwe for a couple months. I came home with a number of traditional instruments that I've wanted to do something with for years. This is the answer.
Many thanks and best wishes!
John Fisk wow. yes, you should definitely sample those!
Thanks for posting this. I use Cubase, but I was able to follow most of what you did and created my first Kontakt instrument. One thing I don't know how to do in Cubase is those quick edits at the beginning of each audio clip. The video has really inspired me to create all kinds of instruments. Thanks again!!
brilliant masterclass on creating kontakt libraries and on maximizing the hell out of Reaper :) loved everything about your channel
Damn, thank you so so much for that! That's the tutorial i was searching for! Can't wait to try that
Mind Boggling🤯 technical intricacy🔥. Good Job Mate! Respect Your Work
Brilliant, David!
I Do not comment much, but this was a lovey welt put fun produced short I just adored! I love music in general and music productions, listening between the notes picking out intricate things, but seeing this opened a lot of possibilities to my imagination, I knew of samples. but the possibility to get something clean and can map myself has got me thinking, thank you, Keep up your excellent Work.
This is amazing. You broke it down so clearly. I can't wait to make an instrument for my singing bowls. Thanks!
Such helpful information, thank you so much! And the jam at the end was awesome 👏🏼
Thank you David, this is amazingly awesome! 👍😊

brilliant enjoyed this tremendously. this was both educational and inspiring to watch. Also, I live in the caribbean and have always found the kalimba to be similar in sound to the steelpan. Very beautiful instruments.
came here looking for Kontakt stuff and got a REAPER tutorial on top of it. This video is *very* solid!
Many many thanks for this tutorial. I've wanted to try making a Kontakt instrument for a very long time now. Finally I think I'm confident that I could do it!

Thank you so much for this. Your videos are incredibly informative and easily digestible. Subscribed!
Very helpful video, thanks for making this!
Awesome video! I have started collecting hardware analog synths. These have no ability to save their settings so I've started sampling some of the sounds. Your video allowed me to save those sounds for future projects and playing. Thanks!
Excellent. At first I didn’t understand why not tuning whilst in Reaper but then I saw why.
Impressive..hard work..great results enjoyed you video.
Such a nice video, and thanks for the library! I'll sure use it for some of my tracks :)
Thanks for showing your way of making a Kontakt instrument. Great work flow and Reaper seems a helpful tool indeed for that work.
back a year later and just now starting to appreciate reaper. I didn't mind doing a small instrument, but doing a larger one with multiple samples, reaper makes it so much easier.
thanks so much for this, just about to dive into this whole process myself with my Kalimba
Brilliant presentation. So well done.
Freaking FIRE man! Thank you for this!

This has been amazingly helpful (ThankQ!) :)
Oh some advice for the renaming. When you click on the region name to change the name, instead of pressing enter, you can press tab in order to jump to the next one. Its pretty use, and minimizes you jumping from keyboard and mouse. Hope this simple tip helps :D
Awsome work
