Dread Hornz Vol. 4 is back again with a fantastic collection of horn sections, individual instrument parts, riffs, and solos in a variety of styles - ska, roots, steppers, and dub.

Volume 4 continues in the tradition of the previous 3 releases with more classic ‘70s horn-driven reggae recordings of Jamaica, the kind heard on so many legendary songs from Studio One to Channel One, from Marley to Burning Spear but also introduces ska for the first time, and modern steppers.

This pack offers 2 minor and 2 major key songs that include the main themes as well as various riffs you can drop into any production.

Performed by the Booom Hornz, Dread Hornz Vol. 4 contains 4 song folders. Each song folder has multiple horn lines and riffs. Created for maximum flexibility and usability, the pack includes horn sections (trumpet, tenor sax, and trombone) along with each instrument provided separately. You’ll have the original dry recordings, and as a bonus, we’ve included several FX versions: dub (tape echo reverb/delay), echo version only, spring reverb, plate reverb, and lo-fi - all to help provide flexibility and inspiration for your tracks.

The one-shots included in this pack contain stabs, sustained notes, swells, chords, and short riffs.
