Really? A Pizza Box?
Make music with a pizza box
ByClay LaHatte
The story
After finishing the delicious pizza, I bumped the box as I was about to discard it. Then I thought, “I wonder what I could get from this via sampling?” So, of course, I did so.
I sampled it using my Tascam DR-40 at 96kHz. I recorded striking the closed box in the center with my finger, as well as rubbing the edge of the box against a shirt.
Using the strike sample in Kontakt’s Tone Machine I got a synthy sound. I then put it through Valhalla Supermassive, Backhole, and Valhalla Shimmer, and the sound was really nice, very lush. So I sampled that via every note on an 88 note keyboard, up to F#6, where Kontakt couldn’t play the 96kHz sample at any higher pitch.
I think it turned out really nice. I hope you will agree. Thanks for listening.

Reviews
One man's trash is another man's sample library
Another outstanding library from Clay! I was expecting an entire library like the "Percussion" patch, but I should have known better. There's some pads, a synth, even some crazy sound designs. I'll probably never use the sound designs, but the pads and synths are super cool. Excellent work as usual from Clay!
I wouldn't believe it
Really? Is it really all coming from a pizza box? I wouldn't really believe it. Everything seems to be sampled real nicely, and there is no chance someone will realise this is a pizza box. The pads sound wonderful, especially the wider one. The smoothness along with the tiny texture inside it warms my heart... aaand the pizza box in the GUI makes me hungry. Thanks, I guess! the percussion is also quite good. I guess we all owe Clay some pizza!
No, does not sound like a pizza box, beautiful pad!
It does never sound like a pizza box!! Such a unique and beautiful pad!
