#42 Ben Osterhouse: Creating Sample Libraries

<p>If you recognise the name “Ben Osterhouse” that’s likely because you’ve used one of his sample libraries.</p> <p>For a while they were the best kept secret of the composer world, until someone let the cat out of the bag and they became a favourite for so many people.</p> <p>I <strong>had</strong> to get Ben on the show to talk about his approach to creating libraries, and I was <strong>not</strong> disappointed! We dove deep into the <em>many</em> considerations when it comes to developing sample libraries.</p> <p>So here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:</p> <ol> <li>How the pursuit of learning can lead you down all kinds of unknown paths</li> <li>Learning scripting by STARTING with ideas and THEN finding solutions</li> <li>How boring technical exercises can actually inspire creativity</li> </ol> <p>You’ll hear all that, and much more, including the benefits of being a solo developer and whether or not composers should create sample libraries for financial gain.</p> <p>Find out more about Ben by <a href="http://ben.osterhouse.org/">visiting his website</a>, and check out his <a href="https://www.kontakthub.com/label/ben-osterhouse/">sample libraries on KontaktHub</a>.</p>
