An 8pack project is an ACID file that includes eight loops arranged into a song. 8pack projects illustrate how a song is constructed in ACID software, and how easy it is to combine loops from various Sony Sound Series™ Loops and Samples libraries. Every week there will be a new 8pack project to download — for Free!

This week it’s ‘Beaten’, the second of two 8packs in two consecutive weeks that extol the virtues of a certain cluster of our libraries, namely: Electro-World Percussion, Rhythmicronics, Futurist Drum ‘n’ Bass, Latin Percussion, and Rock Drummer. This 8pack also has a ‘sneak preview’ file tossed in for kicks. Enjoy!

Last week I commented that there’s nothing like ACID software for putting together rhythm tracks, and that our catalog is the go-to source for drum and percussion loops. This week, it’s still true! What I didn’t mention last week is the rainbow coalition of textures that you can find in our catalog. From the highest of multi-million dollar hi-fi sonics, to the crispiest and most circuit-bent stuff ever to come out of a closet recording studio, we have it all.

The coolness of hi-fi vs. low-fi became completely galvanized in my brain way back in 1994 (!) when I heard Mouse on Mars ‘Vulvaland’ for the very first time. I CAN’T BELIEVE that this was almost 15 years ago! Mouse’s Vulvaland sounds as incredible now as it did then — timeless electronica. Same with our loop library catalog; it’s timeless and ready to be combined and recombined forever in a mad and magical creative dance of destiny. Heh. OK, enough!

This week only, Buy Rhythmicronics and get Futurist Drum ‘n’ Bass on the house. In addition, we’ll toss in our ‘Classic 8packs Volume 2’ collection, delivering 500 loops and 50 vintage 8packs nestled in a felt-lined, embossed metal case. This is a limited edition run, so act fast!

Peace,

Mike
