some of the samples I have been getting of the net work great with this little gadget but for some reason alot of the samples I use make a realy annoying clicking noise. Is there anything I can do to fix these samples so I can use them. If not is there a site or something that has good synth or bass samples that can be used with hammerhead. thanx Chris

Are you using RAW files? It's the only format that the HH Makebank proggy likes.

If you try and use WAV's then you get the click sound. You gotta convert 'em to RAW file format with something like Goldwave or Cool Edit.

Also, if they overlap themselves at a non zero crossing point, you get that awful bad sample clik.... Try putting stereo samples in Hammerhead for fun..

you get the MAKEBANK.EXE file with hammerhead... use that to convert and build RAW sample banks to load to hammerhead...

mate.... look inside the hammerhead folder.... you'll find something called MAKEBANK.EXE.... double click it, and then you compile banks of raw files from .wav's that are on your hard drive... then assign banks you created froma pull-down list that appears in hammerhead.......

I cant even get the damn thing to work-I'm gonna sound like a moron here, but I realized that why it wasnt working before was because I didnt have an "unzip" program installed-now I do-but when I open the folder and click on the hammerhead program, all I get is the small title loga, and it stays that way-what the fuck? If Im simply an idjut tell me, but get me outta tha dark, please! Does hammerhead need anything else besides a PC to operate-soundcard, editing program?

I know about the makebank file. What I want to know is how to convert the wav. files to raw files using cooledit.
If I just load the wav. samples into the makebank they make the clicking noise. So I want to convert them to raw. before I load them.

I don't think Cool Edit will convert to .raw.... Get a demo copy of Goldwave (You get to use it a lot before it dies.. ) , Just open your .wav file, and tell it SAVE AS.... Save with the extension .raw, and type the .raw after your file... IE you open clunk.wav, tell it save as, it'll give you a bnox saying "clunk" click the drop down box, save as RAW type, and name it clunk.raw.... MAkebankmight convert files to RAW automatically, but samples sound better if you convert them in goldwave first, or so I've found to be the case.

When I first started using Hammerhead I used it on different machines with different soundcards. Some wouldn't let you use hammerhead and makebank at the same time. Try closing Hammerhead and opening makebank, then save the new 'bank', close makebank and open Hammerhead. Now you should be able to open your new bank in Hammerhead. Shit I din't think anyone asked that question!
