Drum & Bass Tip Trixxx Vol 2

‘Drum & Bass Tip Trixxx Vol 2’ goes deeper and darker than the first volume and it’s presented as a polished, versatile toolset packed full of disturbing bass lines, frantic breakbeats, powerful kick/snare combos, ripping synth leads and more. Includes MIDI files. Finally, a complete solution for DnB producers. Picking up where volume 1 left off, ‘Drum & Bass Tip Trixxx Vol 2’ contains over 550 entirely original loops and samples processed with a dark, grimey and punchy vibe. Producer Eddy Beneteau (White Papoo) combines artfully mangled stuttering basslines interweave with tight breaks and a cacophony of rides and cymbals, underpinned by the trademark distorted tones of hard DnB. The result is a selection of loops that don’t just move some serious air – they blast it clean out of the way.

Future Music Review: Producer Loops’ Tip Trixxx series continues to deliver high quality, well-priced packages in a variety of styles. Available in ACIDized WAV, Apple Loops, REX2, Reason Refill and EXS224 formats, this collection of 575 individual samples and loops includes a little Bit of everything for hard, dark drum and bass production. Everything’s at 174BPM for simplicity’s sake, and all files are tagged to show which key they’re in which jump-starts your production. Producer Eddy Beneteau has delivered once again with this excellent collection.

Computer Music Review:

“This pack offer up drum and synth samples with over 550 loops and about 300 one-shots. The Breaks Loops and Drum Loops are the main event here, sounding like the intro to a Pendulum track. Some are more retro, with a warped, cut-up feel. Usefully, there are also kick and snare only loops…. Plenty of solid bang for your buck”
