FL Studio PRO G-ARTist Library By BLVCK COBRV WAV

FL Studio PRO G-ARTist Library By BLVCK COBRV WAV

FL Studio PRO G-ARTist Library By BLVCK COBRV WAV

Over 2,500 one-shot and loop samples for genres
G-HOUSE | SLAP HOUSE | MID-TEMPO | TRAP:

What the G-ARTist Library is:
Hi, this is Pasha (BLVCK COBRV). A year ago, after “stretching” on the creation of my modest package “G-House Producer” I, as a producer, had a dream of a bigger scale; to have at my hand a set of sounds, which will have ABSOLUTELY everything I need in the process of creating EDM tracks, whether it is percussion wannabes, loops, sound effects instruments or textures…

At the same time, I set myself the following criteria (which I think is a recipe for creating a “dream sample pack”):
– It has both popular types of sounds (universally working stuff) and unusual hybrid solutions that will move genres forward.
– Each sample or loop is tested in the working mix of the chosen genre and “sits” in it (it was especially important for me to consider this with “non-standard hybrid solutions”
– Familiar, intuitive and convenient hierarchy of folders, where you find what you’re looking for in a couple of clicks
– Well and logically; the quality and selection of all samples should be not just high, but the highest

In the end, I was overwhelmed by a wave of excessive perfectionism and I was lost with this package for more than six months, which already makes this project not particularly profitable commercially (it would be better to “natsiganil” courses), but I can safely say that from my hand the first time came out ONCE perfect creation that I just sometimes spend hours stuck in it like an idiot, listening to their own sounds.

…Why am I describing it here, if you watched the video above you yourself understand what and in what abundance awaits you in this package.

Strezov Sampling Taikos X3M (KONTAKT) [Player Edition]

Strezov Sampling Taikos X3M (KONTAKT) [Player Edition]

TAIKOS X3M
Ultra playable cinematic Taiko Drums with special focus on fast playing and an organic timeless sound. Also includes various percussion ensembles based on Taikos to expand your sonic palette.

About Taikos X3M
For years the Japanese Taiko has been a constant colour in soundtracks and music productions all over the world. Applying our sampling philosophy to the various instruments of the Taiko family yielded some very organic and fresh sounding results, which combined with our X3M percussion engine are simply a joy to play.

One of our main goals was to have consistent Round Robins captured for as many playing techniques as possible to allow writing fast, but at the same time smooth and realistic sounding percussion arrangements. To achieve that we carefully edited every single sample of our 10 Round Robins manually and did as many iterations as needed after extensively testing the articulations in a real life composing environment.

In addition to that yet another important goal for us was to expand the sonic palette of the Taiko sound by adding other instruments, which enhance, but don’t alter the aesthetics of the basic sound too much. Therefore TAIKOS X3M doesn’t just consist of the same stuff we have all heard countless times before, but features new and yet unheard instrument combinations breathing life into your percussion arrangements.

The recordings took place in the Sofia Session Studio where we also recorded the previous X3M libraries to allow smooth and easy layering.

The X3M Percussion Engine
The concept behind this engine is fairly simple – the keyboard range is divided into 12 zones that you are able to assign different sounds to. After creating a template of your choosing just plug in and play – nothing else needed!
In addition to that the engine also allows you to tweak individual zones, as well as the whole mapped ensemble patch with various effects and mic positions. Combining these with the natural and organic recordings you have maximum flexibility when it comes to sound.

Once you load up the X3M Ensemble Builder you automatically load all samples inside the “Samples” directory. However, the instrument is built in such a way that it actually keeps all samples purged, unless you load them up into a zone. This means that not only do you have a single patch with all types of percussion you might need, but it is also optimized and doesn’t hurt your RAM ressources in any way!

Requires free NI Kontakt Player or NI Kontakt FULL v6.7.1+!

Groove3 Audiolens Explained TUTORIAL

iZotope’s new Audiolens plug-in allows you to capture any audio playing through your computer – even streaming audio – and use it as a reference in Neutron or Ozone’s assistant feature quickly and easily. No more buying CDs or digital downloads required; just stream a song on Spotify, YouTube, etc., capture it, and away you go! In this free(!) iZotope Audiolens video course, production whiz Larry Holcombe will show you exactly what you need to know to start taking advantage of this game-changing technology right away. These videos are for new Audiolens users.

Larry begins by discussing the basic purpose of Audiolens and giving you a brief tour of the interface so you’ll know your way around from the beginning. You’ll also learn how the plug-in integrates with Neutron 4 and Ozone.

Larry continues by exploring the two suggested workflows of Audiolens. The first of which consists of capturing a mastered track (streaming audio included) and then using it to build a mastering profile for your own track by way of the master assistant. The same process is then repeated using a drum loop and the track assistant to match the sound of an individual instrument. Larry closes with a brief recap and one final use scenario that allows you to compare any track on your hard drive with any of your target list tracks within Audiolens.

Don’t let the fact that Audiolens is free fool you; it’s a powerful time-saving (and money-saving) tool that can help you achieve your production goals quickly and efficiently. With this free Audiolens video tutorial, you’ll see and hear exactly how to accomplish this in no time. See the individual Audiolens video descriptions for more information.

Strezov Sampling Lightning X3M (KONTAKT) [Player Edition]

LIGHTNING X3M
The first hybrid X3M product featuring a vast collection of organic and electronic high frequency percussion designed for adding tension and speed to your music.

About Lightning X3M
The concept behind LIGHTNING X3M is not only to introduce different types of high frequency percussion, but also to create unique instrument combinations, similar to our previous percussion series, as well as some new sounds and effects. From clocks, shakers, pencils, hurdy gurdy, electronic drums, guitars, accordions and many more we sampled everything in a way which is perfect for adding tension and speed to your music.

Our main idea was to record a number of high frequency percussion instruments, suitable for all kinds of dynamic music and especially film/trailer. The library has multiple dynamic levels (from very soft ppp to blasting ffff) and has multiple round-robins (meaning that each instrument has unique samples that get changed every time you press a key).

THE X3M PERCUSSION ENGINE
The concept behind this engine is fairly simple – the keyboard range is divided into 12 zones that you are able to assign different sounds to. After creating a template of your choosing just plug in and play – nothing else needed!
In addition to that the engine also allows you to tweak individual zones, as well as the whole mapped ensemble patch with various effects and mic positions. Combining these with the natural and organic recordings you have maximum flexibility when it comes to sound.

Once you load up the X3M Ensemble Builder you automatically load all samples inside the “Samples” directory.

PastToFutureReverbs 1880 Acoustic Guitar [KONTAKT]

PastToFutureReverbs 1880 Acoustic Guitar [KONTAKT]

Amazing sounding German Romantic guitar from 1880 made by Carl Ruckmich

We got this one with steel strings on it and sampled it with them

It has an amazing mid-range that sings and jumps out the instrument.

It sounds like an ancient Martin guitar

The intonation is not that good but we think it is the part of the charm!

We recorded this guitar using Schoeps mics in stereo Digital and also mono to analog TAPE.

Tape one has the most character. Stereo digital is clean and nice has a great stereo field

We recommend No Round Robin instruments for chordal works and the RR instruments for single line works

You will get 4 instruments in this pack:

  •  1880 ACOUSTIC GUITAR FOR KONTAKT 5.5.2 (24bit/48kHz)
  •  easy to use interface
  •  „Round-Robin behavior“ and „physical modeling velocity technique“ for more playing realism
  •  mixable binaural reverb
  •  the samples are dry
  •  mix-ready sound

Here is the 1880 ACOUSTIC GUITAR in action (played with MIDI)
