The month of May brought the release of several new products for Big Fish
Audio, none more anticipated than Vir2’s Electri6ity. With more than 24,000
24-bit samples and the most advanced scripting to date, it’s no surprise that
Electri6ity quickly claimed the top instrument spot of the month, even though it was released two weeks in. Judging from the initial response from its user base, I have a feeling this product is in for a long
ride at the top.
On the loop side of things, Cinematic Percussion grabbed the top honors, followed
closely by Kings of the South: Dirty Crunk Kits and Urban Inspiration. Also
breaking into the top ten were two new products from Nova loops, Urban Pop
Heat and Hustla Anthems.
Hello everyone, here is this weeks update with our latest and greatest downloads. =)
Drum Drops released quite a bit of material for us this week. Soundsystem Vocals Vol.1, and Soundsystem Vocals Vol.2 are two reggae vocal packs that are really well done. They also expanded on their Fistful of Drummers series by bringing in Fistful of Drummers Vol.2 and they’ve created a new series that I think is going to be great, Drum Drops in Ska Vol.1.
Industrial Strength Records is still a fresh face to our website and definitely a worthy addition. This week they released Analog Explorer and Computer Core. Now Analog Explorer was produced by Xtront (if you don’t know who he is, you might want to) and let me tell you, he did an incredible job with the drums!
Bringing in the tail end of this section is the well known Future Loops. They released House Fragments and Beatbox All-Stars this week and you need to do a drive by listen. Seriously! Beatbox All-Stars is amazing and the talent they got to record with is jaw dropping (all their names are in the product description).
That’s it for downloads this week. Make sure to stop by www.bigfishaudio.com and listen to all the great things we have going on.
In this post I am going to give you my picks of the month and focus on two outstanding guitar loop libraries we’ve recently released. First on my list is Off the Hook Guitars. Off the Hook Guitars continues in a long line of worldwide hits in the “Off the Hook” series. There is something special that can happen to a Hip Hop or R&B track when you add the element of a live played guitar. Whether your looking for licks or leads, rhythm parts, or wah wah guitars you’ll find it all in this jam packed library. These expertly played and recorded guitars are definitely Off the Hook!
My second library recommendation for the month is Studio Guitars: The Michael Ripoll Project. Michael Ripoll is an A level guitarist working in the studio and on tour with some of the biggest names in the industry. Working with Michael on this project was a lot of fun. His range of talent and mastery of so many different styles is astounding. This is truly evident in this library as it contains over 1,000 loops ranging from rock to country, jazz, to funk. This is a must have library that will be an asset in many many music productions for years to come. (Currently Michael is working on a couple new projects for Big Fish Audio, so keep your eye out for their release later this year).
Now that you know my picks of the month go ahead and check them out yourselves. Both of them contain a free sample pack for you to download and try out yourself. On top of that I would like to personally offer our Blog readers a coupon code good for $20 dollars off either of these products for the month of June.

Hot new material! We are proud to welcome aboard our newest production team, Nova Loops, with two hot new titles, Hustla Anthems: Dirty South Edition and ATL Dirty South Muzik.
Nova Loops is no stranger to the game of making both hit loops and sample sound products, as well as hit records. With a track record of success in many facets of the music business, Nova puts a lot of pride and commitment into bringing the hottest, most current sounds straight to your studio. Naturally that makes them a good fit with Big Fish Audio. When I first heard the sounds on these two products, I instantly knew this was something our Big Fish faithfuls would want to get their hands on! They feature a great current vibe, and excellent creativity from guys who know what they’re doing. As we continue to release more products from Nova Loops, you’ll quickly see them become a part of your formula for making hits. Take a look at the force behind the sounds of Nova Loops:
Donald Johnson – A talented producer, engineer, sound developer, and content guru. He’s one of the new-breed music visionaries, intent on re-inventing how music makers create hit records.
Mr. Dalvin – A hit maker, celebrity and member of the multi-platinum group Jodeci. Mr. Dalvin brings years of experience, countless recording credits, and a massive collection of content to Nova. Mr. Dalvin is credited with bringing some of the biggest recording artists of our time to the forefront. Additionally, he serves as the “Beat Czar” for the Nova Beat Contest.
Michael Chapman – A marketing genius and entrepreneur. He ensures that Nova is bringing the best of what it has to offer to both the streets and the suburbs. His passion for music is only surpassed by his marketing wisdom for creating programs, contests, and events that give back to the customer and help them realize their dreams.
Nigel Williams – A Berklee College of Music graduate, incredible musician, songwriter, producer, and their vice president. Nigel brings a relentless drive to the product development process of Nova. He is responsible for signing only the best musicians and producers, as well as overseeing the huge in-house production team at Nova.
Be on the lookout for more hot titles as we’re just getting started with Nova Loops. Big Fish Audio will continue to manufacture and distribute the highest quality loops and sounds for your high-quality production needs!
Thanks for the tip from Stretta who points out someone who created his own hardware control surface to play MOTU’s BPM, the popular MPC-style plug-in that lets you program your own beats. It’s a favorite of our customers so thought it warranted a mention here!
