Is country music the top selling genre for loops at Big Fish Audio? Maybe not, but it certainly was as popular as ever in the month of March with Modern Country and Nashville Sessions in the top ten. Joining them to add a little Tex-Mex, Western and Cowboy Rock was newcomer Wild West. Also breaking into the top ten last month was Coffeehouse: Organic Construction Kits and Rhythms of Arabia.
Electri6ity is still the top selling instrument with Vir2 and Cinesmples taking most of the top ten spots for instrument sales in March. Sonikinetic contributed with Voices of Isreal and their latest release Sultan Strings also among the top sellers.
It’s Friday! You guys and gals gotta get down on Friday, right? I’m sure there will be lots of partyin’, and more partyin’ after I reveal our new loops for this week. =)
Producer Loops has an INCREDIBLE, just released, dubstep loop library. If you’re into dubstep like I am, then this is an addition you must add to your collection. Supalife Dubstep: Hard Edition is worth a listen.
Fatloud means business when it comes to bangin’ urban construction kits. Bounce, is their new library for this week and it’s very well done, well mixed, and well organized.
Dieguis Productions and Big Fish Audio teamed up again to bring you something a little different. Wild West is a little bit tex-mex, a dash of western, and a bunch of cowboy. It’s a massive library that does a really good job of capturing the sprit of the wild west.
In addition, Big Fish Audio brings to all new libraries released just in time for the weekend. We’ll start with Beatage: Clinton Sparks Collection of Awesome Beats, Drums & Sounds. It’s the newest and hottest creation from the multi-platinum producer Clinton Sparks. Secondly, if you’re having trouble finding cinematic percussion infused with the culture of India, we have just the product for you. Score of India: Percussion Loops provides perfect Indian rhythm beds to add to your musical score.

It’s February, and as it’s been cold up here in the United States so let’s heat it up a bit with a couple of products just begging to be used in your next chart topping track. This month I’ll be looking over a couple of Hip Hop products that provide you with live instruments that normally wouldn’t be accessable to most people.
Nothing sets apart a track more than the use of live strings. Live string players are expensive and it takes a lot of experience to record and capture the nuances of these instruments. Big Fish Audio has made it a bit easier to include live strings in your Hip Hop, Pop, or R&B tracks with Urban String Sessions. Urban String Sessions provides and excellent assortment of live string loops recorded in a mid-size studio setting. Each loop includes various parts and sections broken out to allow for further arrangement and custom mixing. Any way you slice it I think you’ll love how quickly and easily these loops will fit with your music.
My second selection for the month contains live played Indian percussion played along with hip hop beats. Hip Hop India was played by master percussionist Sanket Athale. What truly makes this library stand out from ordinary ethnic percussion libraries is Sanket’s ability to incorporate expertly played Indian percussion with a modern approach. Take a listen to the demos and you’ll hear what I mean. Every instrument was recorded in complete isolation allowing you to select and choose the exact group of instruments of your choosing. No sample library one-shots will ever replace the nuance and feel of a live player and Hip Hop India is truly no exception.
The Top 10 Loops and Instruments to start off 2011 picks up were 2010 left off with some familiar titles and a few newcomers. The Crate: Ultimate Urban Samples moved up to take the number one spot. Modern Country, Modern Rock Guitar and Bass Loops and Ambient Skyline hung close, and newcomers, So Shady and Hook City: Urban Pop Edition, broke into the top ten.
There wasn’t a lot of change on the Instruments side with Q still on top with Electri6ity, Cinesample’s Cineorch and Voxos: Epic Virtual Choir following. A new product in the Instruments top ten was Sonokinetic’s Voices of Isreal. Performed by one of the greatest contemporary classical Jewish singers of our time, Hadass Pal Yarden, this virtual instrument brings you chants, improvisations, poems and songs from an ancient country.
