Thanks for the input good peoples
Couple of things:
I want them to be reasonably priced so that perhaps guys who would not normally go for such a thing might take a punt, and yes the emphasis is very much going to be with the idea of providing a bit of documentation so that the sounds can be used 'as-is' so that the descriptor of say 909 snare or BoomyBD will reflect with some accuracy the type of sound, BUT also so that they can be used as starting points for further tweaking if you want to, I don't really like names that don't give an idea of what to expect, as for most of us music time is better spent on making music than browsing sounds, mostly.
Of course I will try to cover a decent useable pallette of sounds, but like anything personal taste comes into it, but I will not include any gimmick sounds that no-one is going to find useful, if anything the sounds will be geared toward techno/house/electro and the like.
I'm not really in a position at this early stage to write up massive details of each sound, but there will be some demos made and of course once you load the sound it is quite easy to see what is going on, I'd never rule out the possibility of writing a synthesis guide but I think that would be far more in depth than the scope of this first project.
I am happy to do other types of soundbanks like basses, pads, leads, fx etc later, but I've settled on drums for this first one to see how it goes.
Believe me, I'd love to do it all for free (indeed, anyone who knows me for a while knows that I have given sample packs and kits away before here and other places) but like everyone else I have bills to pay, and if you don't think the demos sound good, don't buy them.
Anyway thanks for all the input so far, off to bed now, I will reply to PM's tomorrow
