GusFogle Group: Members Posts: 199 Joined: July 2011 Posted: May 13 2012, 22:03 It isn't the same sound. And yes, that is dreadful. I also find it hard to believe that anyone who could produce drivel like that would have heard a Mike Oldfield piece to sample it in the first place. Back to top

Sometimes I check out different kinds of music, just to check out what's happening in the scene. -------------- Neither a borrower nor a lender be, For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.

Everyone should always keep an open ear for new developments. Well spotted by the way. Mind you, every owl sounds the same so it may not be a sample from MOTB. -------------- "While we are alive we should sit among colored lights and taste good wines, and discuss our adventures in far places; when we are dead, the opportunity is past." - Jack Vance Back to top

It's a preset sound from… an E-mu module I think (one of the Proteus ones probably). There is a LOT of Proteus samples on the whole Heaven's Open album. Anyway, chances are they were just using that rather than sampling Mike directly, or got a similar owl sound from some other sound effects library. Back to top

Thea Cochrane Group: Musicians Posts: 445 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: May 16 2012, 15:04 Just for fun I pulled out some samples I have from an E-mu Proteus and did this (none of it is sampled from MFTB): Audioboo Back to top

Cavalier (Lost Version) Group: Members Posts: 598 Joined: Nov. 2010 Posted: May 17 2012, 11:26 Thank you for starting and stopping with the intro, Mat - I'm not sure if I want to know how much of it is owed to Proteus, Korg or whoever... That said, please tell me that - sampled noises aside -  he is at least responsible for the divine 3D sound section! -------------- "Who was that?"
