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!
“Old School,” we’ve started to make some of the the best sellers of all time available as downloads. More to come soon.
Elemental Studio Percussion is great for making quick and easy percussion parts without having to dig through tons of libraries to find a simple percussion loop. For example if I need a basic shaker to accent the rhythm section of a song I’m working I can quickly find exactly what I need. I got a beta version of this product from our production director about 2 months ago and I’ve used this product over and over since. This one is a must have.
The most common question I get is, “How did you get started making and selling loops?” When I was in school I met Nile Rodgers and he explained the use of loops from old records in making many of his disco hits. I was fascinated and ran out and bought an Akai S1000. Right out of college I got a great job selling orchestral sample libraries for the Synclavier. My friend Chris Lang and I produced “Drum Loops Volume 1 by Prosonus” and we sold quite a few of them. My boss was convinced and turned the whole operation over to me so he could focus all his time on his music. Since then, Big Fish Audio released hundreds of loop libraries and distribute many more.
For years I played the role of “A&R” but others do that now. I still sit in on all the A&R meetings and I highly appreciate everyone who submits material to Big Fish Audio. We get some great material and we get some that’s not quite ready yet. But I can always tell that a lot of hard work has gone into the submissions.
I have always used our loops to make my own music and enjoy hearing our loops in movies, TV and many top-charting records. Last year I got a kick out of hearing a construction kit from “Notorious: Hip Hop and R&B” in Slumdog Millionaire. I’ve had some of the greatest hip hop, RnB, rock, house and even jazz producers reach out to me just to say thanks for the inspiration and for keeping it royalty-free and not requiring crediting or disclosure. (We all have our secret weapons.)
