What is The Love & Pop String Thing? Not just a sampling
CD but a total experience.
If you're looking to add some vintage sounds to your tracks,or
looking for a groove to write your next hit song or just want to add some
vintage flavor to your current song, then this is the CD for you. With
instruments including drums, bass, electric guitars, stings pads, violas,
violins, cellos, rhodes, string quarts, orchestra pads and ranging from
60 BPM to 130BPM there is something for every one.
Recorded in Tom Hakava's Up
and Running Studio with an impressive array of vintage equipment,
these sample sound like something you would find in your folk's record
collection (Well, in my folks anyway). I was immediately taken back to
my younger days when Mum used to play the old Beatles style music. I heard
many influences in this CD...everything from the Byrds thru to The Animals,
Doors, the Beatles a bit of Oasis. Some of the sounds are very familar...which
is good for remixers. Recorded on some original 60's and 70's instruments
in a vintage studio this CD has the perfect feel.
As this CD contains royalty free samples, this means you
are free to use them in ANY song you wish. Your next dance track could
have that familiar guitar riff which gets everybody saying where have
I heard that sample!!! (This is good for us remixers!!!)
The quality is second to none. (PowerFX provide their
samples to many of the worlds leading software manufactures) With the
production by Bil Bryant, the bass, guitar and electric piano played by
Tom Hakava and the strings played by the Felix Orchestra. This CD will
please all producers of fine songs.
I had many flashes of inspiration when reviewing this
CD and I am sure you will have too. This CD is in audio format and is
a must retailing for $89 US or if you are just looking for a couple of
the samples from this CD you can buy some credits and download them. You
can order your CD/samples from PowerFX
and select CD Shop/Download Sounds or you can win yourself a copy here.
Thanks to Bil at PowerFX for supplying the CD for review
and to give away.
