If you sick of getting the same old sample packs that don’t leave a lot of room to work with, you should check out what the guys at 5pin Media are doing.
They only have a few packs out now,but the most interesting thing they provide with their sample packs is the actual midi tracks to accompany the wav samples.
Find a groove you like, but don’t like the sample? Find the midi track that accompanies the wav loop and switch it out. What if you find a keys loop that you think will make for a killer bassline with some editing? Find the midi file, arrange a few notes, load up your favorite bass synth and viola you have your new jacking bassline ready to work.
With 5pin Media’s sample packs you don’t have to worry about using the same sounds/samples as everyone else who buys it because you can swap out and combine your own samples with the midi loops and have your own sound still.
Yo, thanks for the heads up!!! I havent checked them out yet (just about to) but this sounds awesome. Most sample pack are full of kak with 1 or 2 good loops to work with but this sounds like it could take creativity to the next level.
Yeah, if you register on the site you can download a a sample demo pack from any release they have on Loopmasters. They come with 10 loops usually, but the 5pin ones come with 10 audio loops and 10 midi loops.
And the price does seem steep,but you get almost 2GB worth of material. The best part for me is all the percussion and top loops as I can rock them in Traktor while DJing on my 3rd and 4th decks to add some extra groove to my sets, so the loops pull double duty and I get more bang for my buck.
And not just loops either, but all the single hit samples as well are worth it too.
Such a good value for the price. Definitely a worth wild investment if you’re planning on doing this for a living.
