Michael “Nomad” Ripoll released his first project with us in November of 2009. Studio Guitars: The Michael Ripoll Project has been a top seller ever since. His ability to play multiple guitar styles with a mastery few guitar players ever achieve in just one style is one of his primary trademarks. Studio Guitars received rave reviews as well as being nominated for the “Best Sound Library” category in the annual Sound on Sound Magazine Awards. Soon after we also released Crunch: Rock Guitar Loops, a smaller collection focused specifically on rock guitars.
Now for full disclosure: We knew that Michael had long been touring with platinum R&B recording artist Babyface as his guitar player. In addition Michael’s plays at a prodigy level when it comes to flamenco style guitar playing. When we first started working with Michael we asked him to hold off recording R&B, Hip Hop, and his Flamenco styles for Studio Guitars since we wanted to create products with him that specifically focused on those styles.
In the last few months we have released both Guitarra: Spanish Guitars and the Urban Guitar Collection by Michael “Nomad” Ripoll which are our two featured products for this month.
Guitarra: Spanish Guitars features 30 loop sets of spanish style guitar loops. Each kit will showcase a number of loops that all work together to create complete performances. The loops contain various flamenco styles and techniques all played with precision and accuracy that only a master could achieve. The loops are formatted in acidized WAV, REX, Apple Loop formats as well as kontakt format as part of our KLI Series. For those with the full version of Kontakt 4.2 or higher, the KLI version of the product is a great way to take advantage of editing and tweaking the loops beyond what is traditionally possible as well as a number of multisample patches of sustains, tremolo, chord strums, (major and minor), and more. For more information check out the product page and make sure to take a listen to the demo as well.
The Urban Guitar Collection is the fourth release from Michael. This collection features nearly 500 hip hop and R&B guitar loops. This product includes acoustic and electric guitar loops that would be perfect for both hip hop and R&B styles. This product is also formatted in acidezed WAV, REX, and Apple Loop formats. Yet again, Michael shows off his uncanny ability to play multiple styles of music and simply nail it.
