Mario Luciano – Untitled (June 15th, 2018) WAV

Further evolving and chasing my endless pursuit of composing entirely in analog, this pack challenged me to limits of being creative with harmonic tones, sound manipulation, mic techniques and also what I’m mostly known for, my textures. After a few months with new keyboards, percussion equipment and my new 1073 pre amps I have been able to dial harmonic tones, rhythms and textures unlike ever before. I was try to give a wide variety of samples to pull from no matter the genre and albums your working on.

This pack has everything from soul, r&b, eerie dark vibes all the way up to top 40 pop tones, with of course that warmth and open analog sound. 15 original compositions recorded and mixed entirely in Analog ready to be dropped in the DAW of your choice. Compatible with (Ableton, Maschine, Fruity Loops, Logic etc) *Master Sample Clearance Guaranteed.

nts and keyboards were recorded thru a pair of AKG C-414 mics

going directly to a pair of Heritage Audio 1073 Pre Amps

All mixed thru a ton of Analog equipment for maximum tone and textures.

* (Meaning, if you place a record on a MAJOR LABEL using the sample(s), you will split the publishing with Mario Luciano fairly & Co-Production credit + fair split on up-front producer fee (where applicable) (CONTACT: [email protected] if this is the case). NO sample clearing hassles at all. If the sample(s) are used on any NON MAJOR LABEL platforms, you can do anything you’d like with them (upload to Soundcloud, sell the beat to indy artist, include on beat-tape, etc etc).
