This one’s a really old version of T-RackS that I’ve used to help me master finished mixes. If you don’t know how to master tracks or can’t afford someone else to do it, you can use this app to maximize the sound out of your tracks. Later incarnations of this app include VST versions that you can use on your DAW’s, so if you like this app, you may want to research the newer versions of T-RackS as well as other similar apps such as iZotope Ozone.

The next part in the series, this one contains more funky dopeness, including one of the most recognizable breakbeats of all time, Melvin Bliss’s “Synthetic Substitution.”

One more to go in the set. With 300 breakbeats so far between all 3 parts of the series, you boom-bap producers out there have a lot of drums to work off of.

Continuing on with the Classic Breakbeat Loop Series, this one has another 100 classic breakbeats, including James Brown staples like “Funky Drummer” and others, and also one of the most often used and well-known breakbeats of all time, “Impeach the President” by The Honeydrippers.

There’s also some from Isaac Hayes, Funkadelic, Kool and the Gang, and more.

Get to it boom-bappers! More funky hip-hop classic dopeness to come next week.

For you boom bap heads, I’ve got you covered this week. In the vault we’ve got the first part in a big bundle of all the classic funk breakbeats that our beloved hip-hop has been built upon and then some.

I’m sure some will be looking for the James Brown breaks, “Synthetic Substitution,” “Impeach the President,” and other notables, but they will be contained in one of the next parts of the bundle, and I will be releasing one part a week for the next few weeks.

For now, all you boom bap producers will have enough drums to cut from these 100 breaks.

Widely regarded as one of the best solutions for bass, Spectrasonics discontinued this product upon releasing the much more feature-packed Trillian. Since you can’t get this one in the stores anymore (you’re lucky if you can find one in the area that still has it in stock, and Spectrasonics themselves isn’t selling it), it’s now up on the Production Vault.

So if you need bass with a lot of different options, this is the VSTi you’ve been looking for.



NOTE: Inside the RAR file you’ll find a .nrg file which is a DVD image. You can either burn the .nrg image into a DVD or use MagicISO or something similar to open the files within.

DSK Music puts out some decent free VSTi’s, and this particular one is no different. The DSK Overture VSTi gives you 53 different orchestral instruments (spanning the four different instrumental families, strings, brass, woodwinds and percussion) with the ability to combine 4 of these for whatever desired orchestral sound you are looking for; definitely not bad at all for a free VSTi. The VSTi also has various sound envelope options, as well as delay, reverb and chorus options. This is probably one of the best free VSTi’s I’ve ever had the opportunity to use and I’m sure my fellow producers (especially those starting out) will have no problem adding this one to your tools.

This is the biggest kit I’ve put up to date, weighing in at just short of 2000 drum samples. Lots of good sounds of all types in here, kicks, snares, hats, whatever you need. There’s a bit of a digital feel to these, so they would fit more with the sound that’s popular today.

For those needing a piano in a pinch, here’s a nice little piano VST, courtesy of DSK. There’s 3 different presets, Grand Piano, Concert Piano F, and Concert Piano P, as well as customizable tone/filter controls which include an envelope, reverb, flanger, and a filter that can be switched from low-pass to high pass.

For all you drum collectors, I have a kit that was in a folder called “hip-hop/rap,” and just to give it a better name I called it the 5 Borough Havoc Kit. There’s a couple of drum sounds in there that remind me of tracks from Mobb Deep’s most famous album, The Infamous, so that’s how I came up with the name.

There’s over 600+ drums in there, so go crazy.
