New from Big Fish Audio “SWAGG”

SWAGG

SWAGG is the new urban synth virtual instrument developed by VIP Loops in collaboration with Big Fish Audio. Put simply, SWAGG is the ultimate urban instrument! SWAGG is based on the hottest sounds that create today’s hip hop, R&B, pop, and soul hits. The sounds are designed to be huge and to cut through your mix making your productions stand out from the competition. Containing over 8GB (11GB Uncompressed) of samples that were designed completely from the ground up and a total of 345 patches strictly designed for urban music production, SWAGG delivers go-to sounds that will allow you to create top notch productions whether you’re a seasoned pro or new to virtual synths.

When you’re in the studio and under deadlines you don’t have time to waste, SWAGG was designed to be easy to use so you can get down to business quickly. SWAGG boasts an incredible arpeggiator that allows you to easily edit the velocity of each note and pattern. Arps are essential to urban music, and SWAGG’s arp section does not disappoint. What about the fx? Our team has implemented its new fx concept called “Quick-Strike”. The Quick-Strike fx concept keeps with the promise to make SWAGG efficient in the studio and in performance as well as easy to use. From Drake-like single knob filters, to “Make It Bump” single knob eq fx, SWAGG gives you power to craft your sounds quickly and efficiently. All of the Quick-Strike fx have been calibrated to replicate the sound needed for the type of urban production you are creating. The foundation of hit music is great sounds and great sounds are at the core of SWAGG! It’s big, easy to use and incredibly modern. It’s The Ultimate Urban Virtual Instrument!

Production Department Picks of the Month Feb 2013

Hello Everybody! hope you all have had a great month and for those of you who went to NAMM a great show!

 

This month I want to highlight two of my favorite libraries that are breaking ground in the Electronic Cinematic genre.  These are not your standard cut and dry cinematic loops, they break the boundaries of film scoring and give a pro-ready setup for some amazing possibilities.

 

First up, we have Altered Reality: Dark Cinematic Elements.  This library is the definition of out of the box, from glitchy lightning infused impacts and transform sounds to ambient atmospheres of different worlds, Altered Reality has it all.  The depth of quality in these samples is unmatched.  Without needing any outside reverb or compression of any kind, the sounds are huge in quality and depth of design.  Altered Reality contains over 500 loops, 404 one-shots and is organized between those two categories.  The product has been formatted in WAV, REX, Apple Loops, and Kontakt as part of our KLI Series.  With so much diverse content and infinite layering possibilities, Altered Reality will be an invaluable resource for a long time.

 

 

 

Next is Titan Filmscapes – Electronic, Industrial and Dramatic Filmscapes. Titan Filmscapes is a hot new filmscapes product by Dieguis Productions and it sets the bar for contemporary film scoring.  Titan Filmscapes showcases composers and films such as Hans Zimmer, Cliff Martinez, Chemical Brothers, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, The Dark Knight, Inception, The Social Network and many more.  Titan is incredibly diverse, with instruments ranging from electric guitar to ambient pads to marimbas and even flute. The product has been formatted in WAV, REX, Apple Loops, and Kontakt as part of our KLI Series. Boasting over 800 Acidized WAV loops and taking home 4 out of 5 subs from SoundsandGear.com, this product is a hands down winner and a must have for any working on a film score.
