Bring in the horns baby!
We back with another sample collection from motionsamples
Today we are checking out their Hip Hop Horns collection.
I’ll admit, when I usually get a horn sample library, it’s pretty…uhh…wack.
So I didn’t know what to expect going in, especially it being hip hop focused.
Is it just a bunch of dirty south stuff? The demo didn’t make me think that…
They sent over this horn collection for review, let’s just find out what’s good!
Whatup with the horns?
Well I’ll just let motion tell ya what they are…
This original collection of synthetic horn loops is great for droppin’ those big hooks on top of your beats! It contains 120 loops of non stop bangin’ horns played in funky, motown, and orchestral styles. Why sample from the oldies when you can have that classic sound without having to get clearance. Beatmakers beware, you’re gonna eat this one up…
“Hip Hop” horns? How much variety is there?
Surprisingly there is quite a bit. You’d think there would be a lot of overlap in 120 hip hop horn loops but there isn’t.
You’ve got the bangers, the dirty south anthems, the smooth jazzy stuff, and some straight up NY funk.
I was definitely surprised at the diversity of the collection. You can really find some nice foundations for your next track.
How is the sound and production of the samples? What’s the quality?
As always, I’ve never been disappointed with motion’s quality.
The actual production is dope, the riffs are NOT corny, they are top notch productions. I found myself just listening to the riffs and wanting to just loop them!
Sometimes that’s a good thing lol. But there’s enough in the loops to chop them up as well. There are no over processed samples, no distortion ( unless on purpose) and no clipping.
The production is definitely high quality.
What about the price? Will it break the bank?
One of our members on the site suggested I should make mention of the prices on some of these things to better save you time when I”m reviewing.
I try to review stuff from all different pricepoints so I never made it a point to talk about price unless I specifically thought I needed to.
However, I’m all about helping each and every one of ya, so if it saves you from wasting time checking out things that aren’t in your budget, then I’m all for it!
Anyway.
For $25 bucks, I really don’t see how you can go wrong with this one. The price puts these sounds in the reach of most people, and for what you get I actually think it’s a little low.
I’ve purchased sample collections from a lot of places, some almost double or triple this price, and they weren’t as good or well produced.
I definitely think this is a great value.
So what’s the bottom line, how many subs we talkin here?
This joint was well produced, well recorded, and diverse. It was a lot better than I anticipated, I assumed I would give it an above average score, about 3.5 or 4 subs.
But after I went through it and played with it, I had to give it 5 subs, it was really good, I mean really good.
I have to keep it real yall, I was seriously thinking it would be “good” or “pretty good” which would give it about 3.5 subs…not average, but not great.
These are great. And the price is right too.
So let me know what ya think. Leave me a comment below.
Also let me know if you like the new format of commenting on the price, if you think it should be included and if it helps you save time.
let me know below.
I don’t like this man when he is usin all the samples and make for them commercial video f*** this especially me if i didn’t bought these samples ealier and if i will saw this at this moment i will not buy it

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh lol, I get ya now, kinda like giving up the secrets huh? Well, this stuff isn’t really hidden, and if a client gets mad because he finds out what tools you use, he’s not a good client.
That’s like someone being upset because they hear your piano sound you used in a beat on the roland fantom when they go in a store.
These are just tools, and everyone has their own unique way of using them. I do understand not wanting everyone to know your sound sources but the only way to be completely original is to play your own samples or hire musicians
But I get what you’re saying now lol, that’s why I always give people a chance to speak on this site man, it’s hard to understand what people mean in text until they can explain it sometimes.
peace

Cache is in your internet browser, it’s like your temp files, but I don’t see your image up on my end so it’s probably not your cache. Did you upload one to your account at gravatar.com ? It should show up if you did.

tight samples. im bout to get up on motion samples.. im just getting into the music buisness, only been in it for about half a yr and im only 17, and i wanted to know how did u shorten the horn sound like that. shortening the delay made that horn sound Dope. And rite now i just use fl studio and logic.. youtube.com/starstruck2688 for what ive done so far.

Motion is dope for sure, i just changed the endpoint of the sample, basically manually chopping up the sample. Flstudio and logic are both good programs, you can def make some dope stuff with them

Edison is a very good audio editor.

Those sound like some of the most usable library horns I’ve ever heard. A couple of sound like some vintage Stax soul. And SUPERHERO MUSIC! Quote of the month hands down. That really is the most accurate thing to call a couple of those loops though, lol.
