Welcome to the Dan Dean Giga Bass Collection special Gigasampler™/Gigastudio™
version of the highly regarded Dan Dean Bass Collection #1 and #2 combined with
additional bonus banks not found on either of the first two disks.
What’s different about Dan Dean Giga Bass
Collection samples? Each and every note of all of the
instruments has been sampled. This means that there is
no pitch shifting, stretching or any other alteration of
the original sample data.
The notes that were played are the notes
that you play. The body resonance is constant. The
string overtones are constant. The harmonic content of
each of the notes is consistent, and so on. This all
translates into digital instruments that are more
natural sounding .

We used the highest quality components available
to create Dan Dean Giga Bass Collection. The “direct” recordings
were made through either a Summit Audio™ Stereo Tube Microphone
Pre-amp (TPA-200), the LittleLabs™ DI Box, or the Avalon U-5™
Ultra 5 Direct Box. Compressors used were the GML Model 8900
Series III Dynamic Gain Controller™, The Joe Meek Compressor™ or
the BSS DPR-404™.
For the acoustic or amplifier recordings, we used
microphones that would have been used in the “vintage” days of
the ‘60’s and ‘70’s. These included Neumann™ U-47’s, EV™
RE-20’s, AKG™ D-12’s and so forth. On some of the “vintage”
basses we also used Manley™ Enhanced Pultec Tube Equalization
and Manley™ Tube Compression, which really added a warmth and
natural quality to the recordings. On the Acoustic Bass, we used
a pair of Coles™ 4038 Ribbons mixed with the direct pickup
output of the bass transducer through a GML™ Microphone Pre-amp.
The Acoustic Bass is presented in both Stereo and Mono.
The last stage in the process was to use the
Apogee™ AD-1000 or AD-8000 analog to digital converter using
Apogee’s proprietary UV-22 process. This process makes 16 bit
digital sound more like 24 bit digital, which is in good part
why we think Dan Dean Giga Bass Collection basses sound so
natural. We reduced some of the amp noise using Digidesign’s
DINR.
Giga Keyswitching
An exciting new feature found only in Gigasampler/Gigastudio
allows you to load a instrument and "keyswitch" between
articulations by playing a "switching" key outside the
instrument range on the keyboard. This allows you to load the
full instrument and have instant access to all of the various
articulations at the touch of a key! You can now play a picked
passage, switch to fingers, pick muted or whatever on the fly.
Load the "keyswitch" version of the instrument to access this
feature.
