PACK ONE (free loops)

DEMO song for Free sample pack. by synthersizer-sounds

PACK ONE is the first of what I hope to be a series of free sample packs.
I started out recording these loops for use in my own music but I think other people may enjoy using them too.

The PACK contains 39 bass loops and 32 drum loops [A total of 71 loops].

DRUM LOOPS
The "Clean" Drum loops came from my Roland MC-303 [I used the Techno 2 kit].
Also the "Dirty" loops are the same loops but they have been run through the decimator effect on my Korg R3 to give them a Lo-Fi gritty sound.

BASS LOOPS
The bass loops came from my FB-383 [TB-303 clone]. I used the Square wave setting and left the filter open so that it just left the raw wave. The 383 was sequenced by the Roland MC-303.
Again I also sampled the same basslines running though the decimator on my R3, This has given them a harsh, buzzy, "dirty" sound.

Everything was sampled at 32KHz using a Zoom MRS2b 4-track.


If you find these sounds useful and have any comments/questions feel free to comment on the blog or talk to me on twitter.

Alive or just breathing by Dan303

I have uploaded A new track to soundcloud Called "Alive or just breathing". It's very Industrial sounding but also has a lot of influence from noise and glitch music.
I've Been working on this track for about a week now and thought I'd share it, It's free to download [of course].

I Made the track using propellerheads reason, but it also contains reversed voice samples and some sounds from a few of my other synths/plugins.

Hope you enjoy listening to it.

About the album
You have probably noticed the unusual track names, this is because they are all anagrams of themselves. For example the first track "Cake Torn" is an anagram of "Track one" and the title of the album "liable mutt" is an anagram of "album title".

Thanks to dave for helping out with the artwork for the album, you can find him on Twitter HERE or on Blogspot HERE

Production techniques
I didn't want to use a lot of equipment while recording this album as I wanted it to have a raw minimal feel to it.
The whole album was recorded on my Fostex D-80 8-track and mixed roughly with a basic Tapco 8 channel mixer. There was no computers involved in the production.

My Roland MC303 groovebox provided all drum and percussion sounds on the album, using mostly the 808 and 909 kits.

Most of the basslines were produced using my Freeform Analog Technologies FB383 [clone of the Roland TB303].

All other synth sounds came from my Korg Microkorg [apart from the strings on "Sax Trick" which came from the MC303].

For effects like reverb and distortion I used my korg Mini KP, Boss MD2 and Boss DS1.

Hope you enjoy listening to the album. You can find me on Twitter HERE or Myspace HERE
