How To Sell Sample Packs | Finalizing Your Pack & Artwork

[@Khromax]

What the hell is this audio quality? Incredible 😳

[@rayaveonline2274]

That’s what happens when you know how to use EQ editing.

[@amorislokerse]

@@rayaveonline2274 True! But... he has a deep voice.

[@PAXMATMusic]

your voice is amazing

[@VenusTheory]

Haha thanks dude

[@iammaxamillion]

Same here, that's the first thing I said when I heard him speak.

[@maximebordignon6248]

dat bass

[@axelandru9346]

Bro it's just harmonized with some low frequencies....

[@offensivetempo1966]

I was thinking the same thing and scrolling the comments it was the first! impressive!

[@ascid2804]

Shxt your voice is so good man

[@garygood369]

This was precisely what I needed. Thanks! Always quality from this channel.

[@mwdrum]

Very impressive, quite professional.

[@adarshupadhyay877]

Please Make reese bass using ur voice

[@VenusTheory]

Already did! That is in the 'reeses reese bass' video haha. Also did the same thing in my review of the Tonor microphone.

[@LzerBeats]

Incredible voice my friend

[@medievalflame]

When we was on the couch with the cup of coffee. I had my high class beats headphones on. and his voice was like. deep low soothing

[@VenusTheory]

Haha well glad you enjoyed it. Someone once commented that my voice sounds like what coffee tastes like.

[@bcraigcraig4796]

Great rundown on the process 😎

[@abhishekkyadav1]

i was not ready for that voice

[@VenusTheory]

Nobody ever is

[@SzymonWeiss]

Thanks for this video. It doesn't teach me though how do you sell it. I understand this free pack lands onto your webpage and is avialable from there. What happens to your payed packs?

[@Dvetkn]

Cheers for the tips, artwork is on point!

[@soundsfromYYBY]

u ever use studio one 5

[@flyjayofficial]

When it comes to selling stuff: websites like gumroad or sellfy actually offer free plans for you. You just don't get the "pro" features although for a start the "free plans" are totally fine. 👍🏻✌🏻 They do take a Lil % though. (that's the catch for having the free account)

[@ISOL4TE]

AND MADE WITH LOVE I LOVE THAT TOUCH

[@somic5819]

I needed this, thank you

[@routenotecreate7152]

Brilliant tips!

[@SpacedOutDoonie]

Dope af good looking out

[@bogotta]

Thanks Cameron.

[@TheExcelllence]

When the video started I thought "Oh Damn, is he about to sample then process of making Coffee?!" But this was a helpful video, I haven't had the chance to finish my sample pack I started a while ago, when I find some time I'm definitely going to.

[@VenusTheory]

Haha maybe I could do a video of that. Or just make a 'morning brew' sample pack haha. Glad the video was helpful!

[@TheExcelllence]

[@parttime_jesus]

Solid tips here man, thanks! ❤️

[@truthkeny2388]

With normalize unfortunately you increase the noise of the sample. Can you please tell me what are you do for that? Thanks a lot

[@mwdrum]

Great title and coffee video……

[@Beatsbymellow_]

Can u advice on selling with splice?

[@sunnyheartley7184]

Outstanding sir

[@jrosboston9106]

DOPE !!!!!

[@moonwavemusic]

Dude you have the perfect voice for a radio show.

[@VenusTheory]

Thanks haha, I do voiceover work on occasion!

[@moonwavemusic]

@@VenusTheory that's cool. You got a new subscriber👍

[@gphiproductions]

Cool! Thanks for sharing! 👍🏽

[@VenusTheory]

Glad you liked it!

[@FAITHSanchez]

do you have podcast? coz your voice is just amazing

[@VenusTheory]

Yo! I do not haha. However, I have appeared on a few episodes of my Fiance's podcast 'Slasher Sisters' (anchor.fm/slashersisters)

[@kronbakeren]

thank you so much!

[@33snakes]

How do you protect your samples before selling?

[@cmakesmusic]

This tutorial the best

[@rafaelceottomusic6918]

A very important question. How did you create your own website. I mean, the design and all that stuff??

[@VenusTheory]

I used a service called Bandzoogle - highly recommend them! In a previous life, I used to work there as well haha. If you check out their tutorials, you may recognize a familiar voice!

[@taysuse]

When you’re talking about artwork, which subscription plans do you need to have for each platform?

[@VenusTheory]

Yo! Canva is actually entirely free to use and doesn't require anything other than an email. Beyond that you could use Photoshop which costs around $20/month I believe. You could also use a free alternative like GIMP as well for a bit more fine control than what Canva offers.

[@XSalador]

Very helpful thanks 👍I use a free program called lupas rename to re-name lots of files. Keep up the great vids 🔥

[@Taeodoestech]

I see so many services like bandzoogle, selfy, payhip, gumroad, tindie, etc does it matter which route you go with? Should one be selling via multiple platforms?

[@ChampagneFilmmakerTV]

thank you

[@mariocoelho5466]

Amazing songs! well done, tell me something Venus, what gear or plugin do you use to excite harmonics?

[@bearsdj]

Awesome learnt something again.

[@VenusTheory]

Glad to hear it!

[@dwpsounds6747]

Thank you for the super helpful video. One question: Do you ever do anything to make software specific packs like for Native Instruments or Structure, Steven Slate, etc?

[@VenusTheory]

Yo! Glad it was helpful! And yeah totally! I've done quite a few soundbanks for a variety of things but the majority of them have been packs for Serum for various companies as a contractor. Serum is generally the one you'll work most with as it's pretty much the most popular thing ever, so it's good to dust it off and get very familiar with it if you want to get into soundpack design!

[@DavidPichard]

@@VenusTheory Much thanks for the tips. One last one if I may: I recently read about protecting sample libs with iLok. Much experience with that and is it worth the trouble?

[@TheGhostRecordsChannel]

Another helpfull video..and intersting too! But one question (and I know it's kinda strange) , but when you record those samples , do you ever have the problem when all your samples (or maybe some of them) are the same as the other packs you created? Because I remember that I downloaded few few free packs , and some of them , was too much similar or a copy of another pack I've already had , so I simply delete that , when I see a similar pack

[@VenusTheory]

Yo! Well, in some cases I suppose that just comes down to the pack you're making. If you're making another like 'trap drum kit' there's realistically only so many variations on that sound aside layering with foley and such. So, I just try to ensure that whatever I'm doing ends up unique and by pushing myself to get more creative with each pack and the processing used to create the end result.

[@professorpositivity]

Those Ninja coffee makers are great aren't they?

[@jonemore5548]

do you have any tips by protecting my sample packs by getting torrented?

[@VenusTheory]

Unfortunately it's just part of doing business. I just place a small text file in all my packs encouraging those who do steal it to support me in the future if they're financially able to and enjoy the packs.

[@waydbloom]

YO CAM! You know whats driving me CRAY! THE PAN LAW in these Daws. When making a DRUM SAMPLE "0db".. how are you going about this? When making the drum sample inside Studio One and then importing it goes -3db quieter?? Have you experienced this? I'm trying to have my Mono Samples coming in at 0db.

[@astrologikalmusic]

If you're playing your exported samples via a sampler in a daw, make sure that the velocity is all the way maxxed out, otherwise you won't get the full volume of your exported sample.

[@waydbloom]

@@astrologikalmusic Thanks for the feedback ~

[@Jamusictv]

Niceeeee 👍

[@MyBoxOfSound]

Have you got a contact microphone on your chest?

[@VenusTheory]

Just a built-in version of Waves R-Bass I guess.

[@sergiogruzdoff2299]

how much do you pay for Canva a month?

[@floatinganarchychannel3204]

Your sample site build on bandzoogle??

[@VenusTheory]

Yep! Highly recommend them! And, if you watch some of their tutorial videos you may recognize a familiar voice haha.

[@floatinganarchychannel3204]

@@VenusTheory i only dont like the url,but i guess if you make a sub gou get to change it right??

[@LandOfBits]

thanks for this video bro

[@VenusTheory]

Glad you liked it!

[@aishine8184]

Does anyone know how to make a sample pack

[@AlanZornOfficial]

Where do you recommend to sell tho? Great video btw helped me a lot

[@VenusTheory]

Yo! Well, you could reach out to a company to distribute your packs or sell directly on services like Gumroad, or create a website with a service like Bandzoogle to sell your samples.

[@flyjayofficial]

Producers sell their packs on services like gumroad, sellfy, shopify etc. Or their own website or Beat selling website like Beat stars or traktrain etc

[@advaitsaodekar9134]

take that 1k like from me, remember u 1000 like done byme

[@boimesa8190]

Is it possible to sell samples on different platforms at the same time?

[@VenusTheory]

Yo! As long as you don't have any kind of exclusive deal with a certain distributor, I don't see why that would be an issue.

[@RealityShiftUK]

Hope this is still relevant in 2024

[@producerbunker2199]
