New Sounds and Samples from Producer Loops

·0 comments·

Ambient Glitch Volume 1 – This amazing collection features some of the darkest and most atmospheric loops and samples ever committed to a Sample Pack! It was produced by Jeff Rhodes who has been working as a professional sound designer and soundtrack producer for over a decade. “By using bit crushing techniques instead of just distortion,” he says, “plus ‘improper’ use of beat choppers to get a more lo-fi sound, and even learning to overuse compression as an effect, I was able to put together what you hear in this sample pack. Combining it all, along with some weird artefact-like percussion and some stuttery repeats, I was able to harness some of that elusive Glitch power.
