Loopmasters’ popular Movie Dialogue series continues…

If you need some inspiring vocal samples for your music, then Movie Dialogue 3 includes a truly original set of some interesting and authentic dialogue from one of the most creative periods of TV and broadcast history.

These samples are all 100% authentic which means that whilst they have all been remastered, de-noised and de-clicked, they still retain artefacts from the original recordings, which gives them a much more authentic sound!

Deadmau5 downloadable sample pack now online!

Deadmau5 (aka Joel Zimmerman) is currently one of the hottest names in Electronic music, rocking crowds in his distinctive giant ‘Mau5′ head.

Last year, this Canadian export enjoyed the highest new entry in the Top 100 DJs list, storming in at number 11. His recent collaboration with Kaskade for ‘I Remember’ ensured heaps of airplay and remained in the UK Top 40 for two months.

Now you can inject some Deadmau5 flavour into your own tracks with XFER – a sample library for music producers featuring a plethora of WAV loops and one-shots.

An extensive amount of gear was used for the CD including circuit-bent and analogue drum machines, vintage analogue synths such as Moog and Arp, original acoustic drums and other sounds recorded in various professional studios. A variety of digital sound sources were used as well for creating new sounds, such as FFT synthesis, additive/subtractive synthesis, even custom DSP routines coded by Steve Duda in C++.

RRP: £59.95

Incidently, the name Deadmau5 apparently stems from an episode where a mouse crawled into Zimmerman’s computer…
