I cannot rave enough about the Drum Tools packs. The first became a staple for my productions years ago and I was blown away to find there was a new one. If you're looking for one shot drums this is the one stop shop. No loops and frills just brilliant drums which lay the foundation to solid sounding tracks. Highly recommended!

Always a fan of Wave Alchemy packs. The perfect finishing kit for productions. If you need to transition from one section to another all the tools you could need are here. A ramp is not just a ramp : a whoosh is not just a whoosh.

Top spread of textural pads which can easily provide the fuel to start a track. Perfect for less dance floor productions - hip-hop, ambient, songwriting, production music. A good addition to any sonic arsenal.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Impressively recorded drums and bass guitar all at slower tempos 84-100 BPM with real live feel. Some subtle but effective processing means you can just slip these into a track and give the impression you've spent hours honing that perfect drum sound. Good swing and funky feel. Would suit hip hop / funk / r&b projects. Solid.

Broad range of useful drums as loops and hits. Well presented and immediately useable.

Even if that's not your bag, this collection is crammed with quality audio nuggets which will deliver life and vitality to your productions.

Searing basses, a multitude of ducked musical loops and some killer drum sounds. Highly recommended :)

A fine spread of audio garnish for your productions. Beautifully recorded analogue synth sweeps, fizzes, zips, whooshes, bells and whistles. Definitely an FX library as opposed to collections of syth notes. Very useful.

Exceptionally good pack this. Musically rich and colourful. The drum loops are very good indeed if it's downtempo grooves you're looking for. Very wide and detailed. One of my favourite packs this year...

Excellently presented collection of sounds which gets to the point straight away. Every sort of cinematic bang crash whoosh and pop is covered. All laid out expertly for your favourite sampler. The WAV loops are very useful too. Does exactly what it says on the tin and very well too.

A fantastic spread of real string sounds from one of the finest arrangers in the UK. This pack is immediately useful straight out of the tin as phrases in grouped keys. Much more mileage is available to those willing to chop and regroup. Beautifully recorded. Expect to hear these on future productions ;)

I am a huge fan of the first Dark Dub and am impressed by the sequel too. One of my favourite collections ever. I'm a fan of one shot samples and Dark Dub 2 provides loads in all areas. The kiks are phat, the snares (or snaps) are punchy and the basses are different from the stock sounds you've heard before. Recommended.

Does just what is says on the tin. Includes all the bells and whistles (not literally) you might need to spice up a production. Enough tools for any barline whether it be approaching a breakdown or drop. Good contour action. Well recorded and categorised.

High energy pack with a savage range of all the things you need to make a Rankin'esque tearout masterpiece. There's no wasteage in here. All sounds are hi-fi and useable in the extreme. I haven't checked the loops but the single shots are great - have been looking for that dubstep snare for a while...

Great introduction to vocal chopping. A good selection of short percussive vocal samples, some laid out according to key. Really handy for those glitchy techy textural beats. Loads more possibilities if you start playing with the start points / envelopes / sample direction etc.

Sizzling selection of booty tingling bass delights from the bass maestro himself. Have had the pleasure of knowing Mr Solo since the SOUR days and he is without doubt a master of the rumble. The sounds range from the classic to the contemporary and are nicely multi-sampled to allow continuous mod wobbles for all tempos and genres. Recommended.

Fantastic collection of infinitely useable strings. Well recorded and simply laid out in terms of key and tempo. There's scope for chopping the audio into smaller chunks to create even more possibilities. Highly recommended.

Good selection of useful pads and textures. Well recorded with great stereo interest. Ranging from smooth and organic to the more futuristic. Great for ducking by drums and breakdown sections. Simple and to the point. Atmospheric and infinitely useful

Great selection of percussive loops with that tropical feel. They work really well in addition to Kik, Hat Snare programming for some swing / stereo interest. The morphed loops are especially good. If you're after a clap this is also the place for you...

This is a great collection of sounds for soundscaping / film / tv ad work. There's just about every kind of ramp, impact and transition you can imagine. Sounds are well grouped and presented. Great for darker / deeper forms of Dubstep / D&B / FG too. Highly recommended.

If you're looking for a big selection of synth patches this is the one for you. The patches are simple and effective with a great selection of ARP, PAD and BASS sounds. Very handy for punching in synth lines and then just flicking between presets. The ARP patches are all percussive in their ADSR and these can be opened out to create more paddy effects (which duck really well too). Great collection. I like.

A great little collection of to-the-point sounds. The emphasis is on real analogue synth sources and the soundworld is jazzy and mellow. The lead and pad sounds are colourful and rich. Not many drum hits here but the ones that are are well recorded and useful. You could create a nice jazzy groove from this CD alone :)
