One of my big projects over the last year has been the creation of a new sample library for Impact Soundworks. While Shreddage, my electric guitar library, has been a big hit, I’ve had an even bigger project in the works: Koto Nation: Classical Instruments of Japan! Check out some of the behind-the-scenes work on this project at the YouTube video below, and more info after the jump.
Shreddage: Electric Rhythm Guitar, my latest sample library, is now available from Impact Soundworks for $50! This is a Kontakt-format sample library that allows you to play nearly any electric guitar rhythm riff with stunning accuracy, since there are no loops (only multisamples) and the whole library is completely clean. Just visit the Impact Soundworks website for more info and audio demos, or for the overview, watch the video trailer below.
I co-founded Impact Soundworks with LucasArts composer Will Roget, II nearly two years ago. Today, we unveiled the revamp of our website, featuring a completely new (and highly spiffy) design!
We’ve integrated our new shop system throughout the site, improved the visibility of the (such as free downloads, product updates and demos), added far more info to the front page and generally made the whole thing look much better.
To all you producers and composers out there: you’re in for a treat! Over the last two years, I’ve been carefully designing, producing and editing a sample library focusing exclusively on electric rhythm guitar for metal and rock playing. My guitarist is fellow OC ReMixer Sixto Sounds (Juan Medrano), a fantastic performer and master rock/metal producer.
The result of our efforts is almost complete, and it’s called Shreddage: Electric Rhythm Guitar: Rock & Metal. You can read more about the library at the Impact Soundworks website, but here’s the summary: it’s a DI (clean), 24/44.1 electric guitar library with 8x round robins, tons of articulations, drop Bb tuning and, well, we think it sounds better than any other rhythm guitar samples out there. Listen for yourself to the demos below!
After over six months of meticulous editing, my new sample library, Groove Bias: Vintage Drum Sounds, is now officially available through Impact Soundworks! You can download it in Kontakt/EXS-24/HALion format for just $99 or in Reason’s NN-XT format for $89. Visit the Impact Soundworks store or the product page for purchase links!
Haven’t heard of Groove Bias yet? It’s a 4gb collection of old-school drum sounds, recorded using all-analog gear, vintage mics, busted consoles and, of course, TAPE. It took three separate studios to record the 3,500+ samples of 24/96 content, which comprise three custom acoustic drum kits and a set of assorted percussive instruments. Here’s a video of the library in action, courtesy of Brandon Bush:
All formats of Groove Bias are unlocked for your editing and re-mapping pleasure, and with 5-10 round robins and 5-16 velocities per switchable kit component, you’ve got a lot to play with!
You can find more audio demos and detailed product information at the product page. I’ve been having a blast with this library for months now, so I’m happy it’s now open to everybody else. :)
