Vertigo Sound VSE-4 v1.0.226-R2R screenshot
Team R2R | 2024.02.18 | 32.2 MB
The VSE-4 plugin is inspired by the musical sound of the VSE-2 EQ, but presents its own unique sonic identity, integrated in a highly flexible user interface concept. With a fully parametric and modular design and its unique Saturation and FM Drive controls, the VSE-4 provides precise and musical EQing with analog sound, as well as exceptional control over the nonlinear behaviour of the filters. This enables the creation of more complex frequency-based distortion effects.

Multiton Bits Up In Smoke WAV-FANTASTiC screenshot
FANTASTiC | 17 February 2024 | 41.52 MB
Up In Smoke is a first release in our Groovebox Series. What does it mean? Remember how old school sample based grooveboxes and romplers work? Any combination of samples functions well. This is exactly how our Up In Smoke works! All one-shots are sampled in pristine 24-bit and aesthetically and tone-wise perfectly fit together. These samples are made with MPC style performance in mind.

WaveShaper ALUMINIUM WHITE METAL MkII WAV-FANTASTiC screenshot
FANTASTiC | 17 February 2024 | 1 MB
ALUMINIUM / WHITE METAL | sharp digital analogue Aluminum and White Metal are two variations of some percussive sounds I made using a Waldorf Blofeld and a Sherman FilterBank.

The sounds are very synthetic, with boomy low end and fast attacks, and despite being quite similar, you will quickly hear that one is dirtier, more overdriven than the other, thanks to the analogue rawness of the Sherman Filterbank. The pack uses 24bit/48khz, stereo Wav files.

!llmind Special Limited Edition Hats Off (Hi-Hat Loops And One-Shots) WAV screenshot
18/02/2024 | WAV | 29 MB
Hi-Hats are the groove. In modern day music, especially trap, the hi-hats dictate the groove and the way people move. I feel that the hi-hat patterns derive from the feel of marching band music. These grooves dictate a specific energy and pocket for the listener to follow and for the artist to paint a picture to. One of the biggest challenges is to determine what type of pattern to use when creating a beat. There are unlimited ways to approach a hi-hat pattern. I wanted to help solve that problem by creating a set of HI-HAT LOOPS that you can easily plug into a melody or drum pattern you already started.

Loopmasters Designer Dance Collection ACID WAV Free screenshot
12 DECEMBER 2016 | ACID WAV | 80 MB
Designer Dance Collection contains 149 one shot samples in total, including electronic drum hits, bass samples, synth samples (only one-shots, no multis) and sound effects. A small set of drum fills is also included. The audio content is neatly organized into folders, with descriptive filenames and tags. The included sounds are tailor-made for use in modern dance music genres, with no additional processing required.

In terms of quality, I normally don’t expect to find too many decent sounds in “mixed bag” sound packs such as this one, which is why Designer Dance Collection surprised me with the amount of quality samples on offer. There are hardly any filler sounds included. Everything is absolutely top notch, from the mix-ready drum hits and fills, to the juicy bass and synth samples which sound absolutely great. The included sound effects are nothing to write home about, though, but even that folder contains some totally decent sounds. Either way, definitely worth the download!

Come Together: Lennon and McCartney In The Seventies by Richard White screenshot
2016 | English | ISBN: 1468313843, 1785582186 | EPUB | 336 pages | 8 MB
The never-before-told story of how the Beatles nearly reunited.
Although it wasn't made official until an announcement from Paul McCartney in 1970, The Beatles–the most influential rock band of the 20th century–spent most of the late 1960s breaking up. The split was marked my animosity and acrimony, with pointed conflict, in particular, between the groups two most prolific songwriters, John Lennon and Paul McCartney.

Who Needs Classical Music? Cultural Choice and Musical Value screenshot
English | Publisher: Oxford University Press, 2002 | PDF | 150 pages | 6 MB
During the last several decades, most cultural critics have come to agree that the division between 'high' and 'low' art is an artificial one, that Beethoven's Ninth and 'Blue Suede Shoes' are equally valuable as cultural texts. In Who Needs Classical Music?, Julian Johnson challenges these dominant assumptions about the relativism of cultural judgements.

Writing through Music - Essays on Music, Culture and Politics screenshot
English | Publisher: Oxford University Press, 2008 | PDF | 528 pages | 5 MB
Drawing on a passion for music, a remarkably diverse interdisciplinary toolbox, and a gift for accessible language that speaks equally to scholars and the general public, Jann Pasler invites us to read as she writes "through" music, unveiling the forces that affect our sonic encounters. In an extraordinary collection of historical and critical essays, some appearing for the first time in English, Pasler deconstructs the social, moral, and political preoccupations lurking behind aesthetic taste. Arguing that learning from musical experience is vital to our understanding of past, present, and future, Pasler's work trenchantly reasserts the role of music as a crucial contributor to important public debates about who we can be as individuals, communities, and nations.
