Happy Friday everyone! Hope all is well and dandy as it is over here at Big Fish Audio. This week we have some incredible new libraries and I’m going to introduce them to you right now.
Always creating amazing libraries, FatLoud releases Urban Dance. It’s a little more on the dance side of “Urban Dance” but it’s still great none the less.
MVP Loops releases another product in their “Elite Series” by the name of Gucci Music as well as Purple Drizzle 2.
Our boys in Deutschland (aka Germany) released a couple new libraries under the flag of Ueberschall. Electro Pop, which has heavy european styles of electro in there, and Metal for all you metal-heads out there.
Big Fish Audio has released one of it’s larger rock libraries today by the name of Pure Rock Hits. Simply put, it contains timeless rock construction kits laced with pure energy. A definite must hear.
That’s it for this week, hope you all have a great weekend and hope to see you guys next week…seriously though, hope to see you next week! =P
Happy early Mothers Day ya’ll! And if you’re out of ideas of what to get your mother, why not give her the gift of making beats!? Seriously though, you know it’d be awesome to have your mom cranking out the jams. =)
This week we have a brand new series by MVP called the Elite Series. Make sure to check out all 6 of their brand new products here.
YNK Audio. They’ve been around a bit and we finally have them on our website. Their libraries are exceptional. Dirty South Hustlaz, Goonzville Floorida and Champagne Musik are the first of many to come.
Also, just another little friendly reminder that all…yes, I did say all…Ueberschall products are now available for download! And with the brand new Elastik 2.0 you’ll be able to easily pop these soundbanks right in and you and your momma can get to makin’ beats!
For this month’s pick we are going to look at a couple of outstanding percussion libraries. These aren’t collections of standard shakers and tambourines but instead you will find Riqs, Dehollahs, Tablas, Tavils, Kanjeeras, Dholak, and many other percussion instruments from both the Middle East and India.
First, let’s look at Rhythms of Arabia. Rhythms of Arabia is a finely crafted collection of percussion loops from the Arab world. Inside this product you’ll find over 1000 loops played in various different rhythmic styles from that region. The product is organized by BPM with various folders of different instruments contained within. The loops are recorded dry, giving you the freedom to place them in your music with ease and maximum flexibility.
Score of India contains a few similar instruments to Rhythms of Arabia but stands alone with it’s own unique vibe and feel. As you may assume from the name of this product, Score of India is a perfect fit for any film/tv score needing a boost of energy and drive from authentic Indian percussion. Whether you are scoring an action packed drama, a soaring landscape, or a high speed chase scene, you’ll find a perfect fit with these loops.
Hello everyone, I hope you’re all enjoying your soon to be Easter weekend! This weekend we have some new stuff for you all.

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.
