Hey Hey Hey!
I'm currently making a rather big grand piano sample library. It is a
Yamaha C5 recorded with 2 AKG C414 in an AB position about 10cm above
the strings at 24bit48khz. It is downsampled to 16bit44.1khz because
gigedit couldn't save files larger than 2gb. It's sampled in minor
thirds with 17 velocity layers (some only 16 due to a nasty head ache
when I recorded)
I'd like to have some feedback and have two questions answered. I've
posted the same question on the linuxsampler forum but that doesn't seem
to be the most active place in the world so I'll make a post here too.
The question: Can I make release samples to be played even if the
sustain pedal is pressed?
The other question: How should I distribute it? I was thinking something
like a torrent would be the most effective. I only got 512kbps up and
It's about 1.5gb worth of .gig file
The Demo: http://j.imagehost.org/download/0912/GrandPianoUpdatedDemo
Played by Alfonso Gugliucci, User PianistItaliano on youtube.

Interesting question. I suspect you'll have an easier time getting
your first question answered at someplace like Northern Sounds.
http://www.northernsounds.com/forum/index.php?&Itemid=28
Torrents are good once they are seeded. Until then it just takes time.

Archive.org is the place that comes to my mind. If you can't do it yourself,
I could upload it for you. You send me a DVD with the file and I do the
uploading.
A few things here:
- I am not sure of the upload limit of Archive.org.
- To keep you as the author, you could create an account on archive.org,
pass me the details, then I upload the file, then you change the password.
Just a thought.

By the way, why do you want to have release samples with the sustain
pedal pressed? Surely that's not very "realistic"?

If you do, then FLAC or Wavepack are lossless alternatives for
Linux users. FLAC is Open Source. Wavepack is free, but I'm not
sure about its licensing issues, if any.

Since it's loss-less, does it really have to care what it's compressing? Seems
easy enough to just provide "raw audio" support, where the user tells it what
sample format to expect.
Anyway, 'man flac' speaks of various options for raw files and
encoding/decoding from/to stdin/stdout, so it does seem like there would be
ways of using it on any sort of files... Haven't tried it, though. :-)

Since only betas of 7zip come with .xz support I'd go with .bzip2 and
maybe compare to .zip to see whether it's worth it.

Zip is totally useless - it can't really compress if matched against
the latest archiving tools.
A cross-platform (and the best next to lzma) solution would be RAR,
but you may not like its licensing implications.
.xz and .7z may not be the same (compressed vs. archived?), but the
7zip client is able to uncompress .xz from beta version onwards. Linux
users can unpack anything, so in the end I don't see why you couldn't
just go .7z and hjsplit/lxsplit the result to 4 parts to be even more
friendly.

fades on everything I've also done some fine per sample filtering and
got rid of a fair bit of noise. I also have an ardour session with all
500 samples on 30 different tracks so now I can color them as I wish
with little effort :).

Well thank you :) I expect to release it in a couple of days. Oh, and I
forgot to mention, I've managed to crank it up to 24bit48khz :) I landed
on 1.8gb. Read last post here to learn how:

- Can we convince you of going 48kHz/24bits? That is far more common in audio
production. Using 44.1kHz in a setup running at 48kHz includes possibly nasty
artefacts from up-sampling and a loss of precision and frequencies. Down-
sampling is far easier on the quality...
Maybe its better to make do with one or two layers less. And maybe help to
fix gigedit. linuxsampler is said to be able to do more then 2GB files.
- When looking for compression for easier distribution: What about
distributing a "source" archive that contains the wavpack/flac compressed raw
samples, the gigedit file and a makefile for creation of the .gig-file?
Have fun,

Hmm, how's that for a version 2.0? :) I haven't noticed any up-sampling

have to cut 3 layers at least, we're talking about shaving 0.6gb's here :)
I think I'll just shove it down a bz2 archive..
I'm currently making a rather big grand piano
sample library. It is a
Yamaha C5 recorded with 2 AKG C414 in an AB position about 10cm above
the strings at 24bit48khz. It is downsampled to 16bit44.1khz because
gigedit couldn't save files larger than 2gb. It's sampled in minor
thirds with 17 velocity layers (some only 16 due to a nasty head ache
when I recorded)
I haven't actually listened to the demo yet, but:

Did you have contact with the gigedit authors? Maybe the fix is minor.
It would be a pity if the quality would suffer from something that could
be fixed easily.

I hate to say it but it will take a little bit of time still before I
release it. I've decided to use the sfz format instead. It seems much more
flexible than giga and gigedit started to missbehave and pissed me right off
when I tried to make releases :) sfz is non-monolithic so you'll
automatically have access to individual samples.

I'd like to have some feedback and have two questions answered. I've posted
the same question on the linuxsampler forum but that doesn't seem to be the
most active place in the world so I'll make a post here too.
The question: Can I make release samples to be played even if the sustain
pedal is pressed?
The other question: How should I distribute it? I was thinking something
like a torrent would be the most effective. I only got 512kbps up and It's
about 1.5gb worth of .gig file
