Hello everyone, I hope you’re all enjoying your soon to be Easter weekend! This weekend we have some new stuff for you all.
eCITY brings you a new series they’ve started called Pop Goes the City and their first product is killer. Be sure to check out the Red Carpet for some fresh new pop for your productions.
Dieguis Productions continues their Xtended Series with a high quality country library by the name of Americana Country.
And of course, yours truly (Big Fish Audio), bring you the brand new sequel to Southside Bangaz Vol. 1…Southside Bangaz Vol. 2! Southern hip hop never sounded any better then in these 10 kits. Be sure to listen to that before you head out tonight.
As always, check back here often to see what’s on the horizon in all your Big Fish Audio needs! Have a great Easter weekend!
Today we have a very special announcement. Ueberschall has now made their download format available for their ENTIRE catalog! That’s correct, you can now purchase Ueberschall products as downloads from the Big Fish Audio website. To celebrate this occasion we were able to get an exclusive interview with Wenzel Mehnert from the Ueberschall team.
Who and what is Ueberschall?
Ueberschall is a label for professional sample libraries. Our big strength is the versatility and the authentic quality of each of our libraries. With more than 30 different producers we have released over 100 different libraries. From soul, funk, rock and pop to score & SFX sounds to all kinds of electronic music. Our catalogue covers 40 different music styles and is still growing! This is the reason why customers from all over the world and from different branches of music trust in Ueberschall when it comes to music production, movie scores, web and multimedia projects of any kind.
What makes the Ueberschall Elastik and Liquid Plug-in engines so special?
Ueberschall libraries come with a free sample player. You only pay for the soundbank and get a flexible sampling tool on top. There are two different players:
Liquid Player. The Liquid Instrument Series (L.I.S.) offers new ways to control and redo sampled lines and phrases! In close cooperation with Celemony (Melodyne), Ueberschall developed a way to have Liquid allow you to pitch and stretch single notes of a complete lick and suit it to your personal needs.
Elastik 2 Player. The Elastik 2 Player manages all Elastik libraries in one engine. It comes with a whole range of desirable features: The self-explanatory browser, designed for fast access to any loaded sound libraries. The central Loopeye surface focuses all attention on the loop and keeps several innovative DSP functions. The sequence mode allows you to slice up the loop and edit each part individually – on the fly. The random button offers unforeseeable inspiration, plus many more.
Tell us about the brand new Inspire Series.
The Elastik Inspire Series crosses the path between Construction Kit libraries and usual loop libraries. Each volume keeps 2GB of loops and phrases that work perfectly together with each other. You can use them in combination with already existing projects or you can create new “Inspire Kits” on your command.
Using the “random” button, the “Inspire Kits” can be altered and new combinations of instruments can be created automatically. The selected sample will be replaced by a randomly selected sample of the same instrument class – no matter what genre. This allows the user to create complete new and never heard construction kits. All samples fit perfectly together and the results are 100% copyright free!
The “Elastik Inspire Series” represents an inexhaustible source of inspiration especially for creative people in the music, film, multimedia and web industry. Due to the high quality of Ueberschall products, the created tracks can be immediately integrated into one’s own projects without any further treatment.
Last but not least, what’s on the coming up for Ueberschall?
When it comes to sample libraries, Ueberschall will keep on releasing new libraries that hit the spot. For example, we have a ton of new volumes for the “Elastik Inspire Series” and construction kit libraries for all music genres. Apart from that, Ueberschall will keep the focus on new functions for their sample players Liquid and Elastik. New ideas are already realized and just need to be developed. The future for Ueberschall is going to get very interesting!
Big Fish Audio would like to thank the crew at Ueberschall and Wenzel Mehnert for taking the time for this interview and filling us in on what’s to come. Be sure to check out all the Ueberschall products here on our website.
