These are the releases we have encountered this week on the Loops and Samples front. Just like the quality of the audio software we use these days the quality of the content we use (loops and samples) equally matches the high standards of this software. Below is this weeks selection.

Imagine having a hugely powerful, flexible and inspiring analogue drum synth in your studio: one that allows you to create classic tones from the past or sculpt entirely new contemporary sounds easily and seamlessly. Then imagine that it’s been wired in to a choice of classic, old-skool hardware samplers, so that you can record its output through their signature electronics, pushing their A-to-D converters just as far as you want, to get that meaty thud and crunch to the low end, and crackly sizzle to the high end that only vintage samplers can impart to a beat. Imagine doing away with their cryptic interfaces in favour of a single knob that allows you to dial in precisely how much of their character you want stamped on your sound.
Recently we came across this video, and immediately we liked it. Why? Well even it’s not the biggest studio we have ever seen it does have this really warm, attractive, vintage vibe. Like James Lugo (owner) says: “a studio where analog meets digital needs“. With the video below he walks through the studio on a night he can’t catch sleep. He shows all the gear in the studio and, well, it’s a feast of recoginition. Some really cool analog gear we all know and love!
