UVI Classic Electric Piano library

Ever since I started messing with Motu BPM I started to checkout the expansion libraries for it, I always do this when checking out a new instrument. The fact that BPM can be expanded is a plus in my book, and the sounds from all of Motu’s instruments can be used. But today I’m checking [...]

Diginoiz Orchestra Avenue urban orchestra samples

Diginoiz Orchestra Avenue urban orchestra samples

Back with another soundhound, today we checking out some orchestra samples.

Making a beat with Motu BPM factory sounds

Making a beat with Motu BPM factory sounds

Still exploring Motu BPM, making a beat using just the factory sounds this time, no expansions or anything. Everything in here comes from the factory library. It’s a nice little workstation, with the expansion packs it becomes even more powerful, despite some little quirks hear and there, I like it. I find myself opening it [...]

Spectrasonics Trilian has all the bass you’ll ever need

Spectrasonics Trilian has all the bass you’ll ever need

If there’s any other instrument or element in popular music styles that has a profound of an effect on the over feel of the tracks as the drums do, it’s gotta be bass! A great bass riff, bass line, or bass part can take a track to the next level….gives it that thump baby! Honestly, [...]

Native Instruments Session Strings review

Native Instruments Session Strings review

Got strings? Native Instruments does, and they’ve put some vintage mojo on them as well…for when you’re feeling a little nostalgic? But…are they any good? Or is it just another cheesy attempt at a usable pop string section? let’s see What are Session Strings? To contrast a lot of the larger string/orchestral libraries, Session Strings [...]
