I know I know…what up wit Scott Storch?
He blazed the charts for a while, then….I dunno, last I heard it was some money issues.
It’s all good, things happen, what you can’t front on is that dude is NASTY when it comes to the keys.
So today we looking at some Storchy style piano samples sent in for review from p5audio.
Just what is the Scorchin Piano collection?
from the site….
Scorchin Piano Producers Pack contains the both the Loops and the Licks from the Scorchin series! We are talkin 152 Piano Loops in the style of Dr. Dre and Scott Storch, nearly 900 licks cut from both our Scorchin Loops and from tons of bonus tracks in the session! These loops and licks are recorded on a Beautiful Grand Piano through class A microphones, Apogee converters and an Avalon Preamp. From the haunting dark piano riffs of Dre, to the edgy sounds of Scott Storch this product is chronically smokin!!!Scrochin Piano Licks contains 152 Piano Loops, and nearly 900 Piano Licks in ten popular hip hop tempos. They are mapped across the keyboard for easy use in your favorite sampler.Scorchin Piano Producers Pack contains the both the Loops and the Licks from the Scorchin series!

Do I have to sound like the Pianoman man?
You know how I feel about “producer” kits and samples.
I don’t really want to sound like a specific producer, I more like to have generally good samples, not specific producer kits.
So when I broke these open I wasn’t sure what I’d have to do…would I have to run over to p5audio and smack someone around?
Hmmmm….I’m not all into smackin folks unless they deserve it!
What do they sound like? Are they quality?
Like all of p5audio samples we’ve looked at, the quality is top notch.
They never put out anything less than awesome when it comes to the quality of the recording.
No distortion, no clipping, no drowning out the sound in effects.
Good, clean, crisp piano samples.
What about the variety? Will I sound like a “Still Dre” clone?
Nope! I’ll admit, I was worried about this too.
But the riffs and loops in this collection are all over the place, various styles are covered.
Of course Storch didn’t have just one style, so that’s good that they didn’t focus only on “Dre” style pianos.
There’s stuff in here for those mobb deep bangers, them slim shady salutes, and many more types of piano styles.
Yes, there is that classic Storch/Dre magic in there ready to feed your favorite sampler.
What’s the verdict man? Do they get the approval?
Good quality, tons of loops and samples, and a great variety.
This makes for a good collection, a very good collection.
It was much more versatile than I expected, I thought I was going to have to hand out an average score for this one.
I give it a 4.5 out of 5 subs.
Very solid product from a proven leader in sound sample production.
I suggest you go on over and checkout the scorchin piano samples. You can get loops, or licks, or like me…both.
Let me know what you think below. And I also want to know what you think about “producer” sample collecitons.
Lets discuss it, leave me a comment below.
