British Audio Engineering (BAE) is debuting at AES its newest product, the 10DC compressor/limiter, a complement to the company's line of Class A series outboard gear.


The product launch will be at 11:00 AM on Friday, October 21, Booth #246. BAE is known worldwide for its flagship line of classic 1073 microphone pre-amps, faithful to the original Class A discrete audio circuit designs of the 1960s and '70s.

With construction kits based on real songs as well as blood-curdling vocals, bone-breaking drums, blood-soaked bass and guitars heavier than plutonium, this latest release from Zero-G is not for the faint hearted.

Encompassing over 500 samples, the bone-crushing weight of this music comes from its atmosphere, the crushing riffs, the oppressiveness of the production and the intense personalities (and lyrics) involved.

But this isn't just standard rock music, it's modern and groovy metal with a sense of metal-core referencing bands such as Adema, Godsmack, Sevendust, StoneSour.
Formats include Acid Wav, Aiff Apple Loops, Rex2, EXS24, Kontakt, Reason NN-XT and compatibility with Stylus RMX.

Studio Drum Loops is the second release in a range of high quality drum sample packs mastered and recorded at The Orange Hut Studio.



Using multi-track samples gives you more control over the sound of your drum samples as you can: add different effects on different mics & adjust the mix of the drum loop.



73 drum loops are included in six popular formats: Rex2, Wav, Aiff Slices, MIDI, Apple Loops and multi track. The style & bpm of the drum loop samples are arranged by bpm.

Some features:

- 1.3 GB
- Multi Track Format
- 73x Loops in 6 Formats.
- 24Bit, 96Hz & 44,100hz.

Volume 2 of the Cinematic Sound Design series, Darkness is a collection of 2.8 GB of original loops and samples created for use in film, TV, games, and the more dystopian forms of Metal, Hip Hop, Grunge, etc.

All of the sounds in this project were created from "real" sources; i.e., no synths were used on any of this material. The drones, rhythmic loops, soundscapes and effects on DARKNESS were derived from recordings of things like metal bridges, cables, dumpsters, machines, and metal-stringed instruments such as waterphones, detuned autoharps, and one very old and beat up piano harp.
