I wasted a ton of time showing you Ableton and Audition for splitting, but the free Audacity will do it much better. Check out how here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fu2HecbtqPk

imo these samples are so much better than anything on splice

These sample cds (especially the early Zero-G ones) pretty much defined an era and the rave movement here in the UK in the early 90’s. Without them, Dance wouldn’t have blown up like it did. The importance of these 90’s sample cds cannot be underestimated and they should be preserved - yes I get that the hits and one shots are rips, but these CDs are a part of the rave history.

I know I'm back again but love Jeremy encouraging using work time to do this and generally old 90s piracy. You are a man of the people <3
-
zero-g still runs to this day. you can buy alot of there old sample cds in digital form now as well as a big collection of there newer sample packs. really cool!
-
loading all the datafile samples on my polyend tracker was one of the best decisions of my life. also there are sorted and labeled versions of specifically the datafile cds that aren’t hard to find with an internet search but i’ll keep the tips in mind for other ones

Audacity has a tool for deleting silence. There are archives of old movies in the public domain out there that are begging to be mined for sounds. Maybe one of these days...

"crate digging into the history of electronic music." 🎉 Couldn't say it any better. That is it!
-
If I may suggest, use Reaper dynamic split, to split clean chunks deleting silence, edit loop points (item length) and batch export with whatever naming you need. Cross platform.

VERY VERY COOL! Man I can't express how much value this video carries!
-
thank you so much for this. im only annoyed i'd never thought about looking through the internet archive before but may all the gods bless everyone involved in maintaining it!
-
I got all of the zero-g jungle warfare stuff years ago. Archive has done a good job to preserve the classics.
-
Very useful video. Thanks for enlightening me to this archive, and this workflow!
-
I use a lot of these and recommend them to everyone. Glad to see one of the big boys bumping these up.
-
i love these! i searched for jungle warfare last year and found all of those and im glad someone else is covering it
-
Just got into that Archive page about a month ago, thanks for the targets.
-
I always thought about doing this but never about sample cd's! Brilliant!
-
Good stuff. I loved the cut after "Stolen Content" made me smile.
-
Awesome! Also I see CAT learning synthesis in the background

I finally got around to do this and man, not kidding there's a quite a bit of work. During the weekend I managed to rip most of the samples, all the loops off from zero-g datafile 2 and man, there is quite some work to do. 99 tracks, 8-16 samples per a track. Learned audacity hotkeys quite quickly. Thanks for the inspiration, this feels like meaningful work, there's plenty of it to do but your sample library grows more familiar and usable in the process.
