Sometimes you have to be a little different to get noticed. If you do the same old thing and sound like everybody else it can be a struggle to make it to the top. This month I want to look at a couple of libraries that are a little “different” from your standard loop libraries.
Quirky Guitar Vol.1 and Quirky Guitar Vol.2 are two of our most unique and original libraries. These loops feature but are not limited to guitars. You’ll also find glockenspiels, bells, music boxes, pianos, hand claps, and a few other “bells & whistles”. The mood of these libraries is light and playful while still containing content to create some series musical pieces. You may be reminded of some indie singer songwriter artists such as, Feist, Ingrid Michaelson, Lenka, and the like.
As part of the Textured Series, these construction kits don’t contain any drums but simply focus on the melodic instruments, opening up the possibilities with these loops to go in any number of musical directions. The recording quality is top notch and the musicality is simply outstanding. Both products have been formatted in WAV, REX, Apple Loops, as well as in our KLI format for our Kontakt users. At 69.95 each you will find a serious bang for your buck with loads of usable and inspiring loops for your next album, commercial, or tv spot.

The Legacy continues…
Back in September of 2000, Big Fish Audio released the smoothest, sexiest, absolute sweetest R&B grooves to date. Producers looking for a sound sexy enough to make them turn off the ringer found exactly what they wanted with the birth of Off The Hook. From Keyboard Magazine to Electronic Musician, reviews were telling anybody who would listen… “These grooves are crying out for some vocal arrangements!…”, “The word that keeps coming to mind is smooth!” Within a few short months the bar was set and Off The Hook became the highest standard for urban kits.
Twelve years later, from MTV to HGTV… The Food Network to the NFL Network, sounds and loops from Off The Hook titles can constantly be heard on numerous television shows. From legendary rap moguls to teen heartthrobs… pop princesses to sultry R&B kings, Off The Hook elements have been used on countless music projects by the best producers in the business.
Based in Atlanta Georgia, Anthony Myers is the talented producer behind the entire Off The Hook Series. “Back in the day the sample library market was flooded with house, techno, funk, and live drum products.” says Myers… “There was no exclusive RnB product and I felt we could fill the void and Off The Hook was born.” Anthony admits he was taken by surprise by the success and demand… “Who would’ve ever imagined the success and how it has lent to the offspring of products.” Currently, there are 11 Off The Hook titles and more on the way! Myers is a dedicated perfectionist who understands that the key to a great sample library is current music with tons of content and top notch musicianship and production couple with quality mixes.

From the smoothest R&B kits ever made in Off The Hook 1-3, to the hottest urban guitar loops in Off The Hook Guitars, to the sounds of the most current Pop in Off The Hook Radio Pop, producers have been asking for more and more for over a decade! The Legacy that started back in 2000 continues to bring the goods to those producers who will accept nothing less than the most authentic Hip Hop, Pop and R&B kits.
The latest release in this epic collection reminds us of why the very first release created the Legacy that is Off The Hook!
Hello everyone! I hope that you’re all well and excited for this weekend, because we’ve got some big releases this weekend.

Freshtone releases another well done drum library in Freshtone Vintage Drums: The Fills.
Last but not least, Big Fish Audio releases Fury: Modern Indie and Pop Rock as well as Ol’ Skool: Vintage Hip Hop. Both of these libraries deserve a listen solely based on the fact of how great the quality and time that was put into them. They will not disappoint!
The first month of 2012 picked up where 2011 left off with Guitar Soundscapes continuing to hold the top loops spot. This massive collection of cinematic and ambient guitars is proving to be a top choice for Film, TV, Sound Design, Documentaries, Games, Film Trailers, Commercials and Contemporary Cinematic, Ambient music and even deep motional Rock. Also back among the top sellers was the distinctive collection of contemporary brush loops in Brush Artistry II.
The top virtual instruments for January 2012 were dominated by MOJO: Horn Section and Fractured: Prepared Acoustic Guitar, but also featured some new titles including the latest from UVI, Emulation II. This ultimate resource of Old School flavor features a set of unique instruments that accurately reproduce that popular feel from the 80s: from warm digital sounds to the most analog-ish textures. Also new to the top seller list is Neo Soul Keys. This premier virtual instrument is and expertly crafted urban sounding electric piano that is designed to reproduce the exact sound, feel, and playability of a real electromechanical instrument, with the detail and expressiveness of a real cabinet and the most beautiful vibrato.
Happy 2012 everybody. With 2011 behind us we reflect on a great year of amazing titles. We put out some outstanding new titles last year, including our top selling hip hop library The Crate. In addition, our 2011 releases include some great rock titles like Indie: Rock Collection Vol.1 and Pop Rocks!. We also created pop libraries like Risque’: Pop Kits and Off the Hook Radio Pop, as well as a number of anticipated sequels to some of our top selling libraries like, Epic Drums II, Suite Grooves 2, and Kings of the South Vol.2. 2011 was definitely a jam packed year for our production staff and 2012 certainly holds more of the same.
This month we want to highlight a Hip Hop and R&B product that is jam packed with amazing sounds just waiting to be used to their fullest potential. Off the Hook Legacy is latest in the long line of “Off the Hook” products. Since the year 2000 we have released 12 “Off the Hook” products that all feature a team of A level producers who don’t just create the “same-ol” hip hop and R&B sounds. This stuff is truly legit with a sound that would hold up to any big label production quality. Off the Legacy features 8GB of premium loops and sounds with 16 Hip Hop kits and 19 R&B kits. A ton of time goes into not only the production of these kits but also processing each sound with great precision, allowing you to focus on the music and not spending hours just trying to get a mix that will work. These loops and sounds come in acidized wav, rex, and apple loop formats, as well as our custom kontakt KLI format.
