Yes! It’s good for those who can finish tracks. Periods of reaping/sowing can be effective.

Working on multiple tracks at once is something I've found helps with boredom

Janne Hatula

Yeah we all get that! Keeping it fresh is important…paramount!

DRU

nice thanks I don't have that one. I have another one from them called the ultimate amen breaks pack

Ben Hill

maybe this one? https://rhythm-lab.com/amen_breaks/

Curious about the phasing effects on the drums in the middle section

The getting bored struggle is real; I swear I lose really good ideas because I get bored and have to change them. I also get to a point where I dont' have the ability to tell whether something is actually any good anymore...

This is so inspirational, Janne. You make a great point about getting pretty specific about the sound you are after before sifting through samples and presets. I imagine that takes a lot of discipline and patience, something I need to work on. It feels easier sometimes to just throw all kinds of sounds against the wall to see what sticks, of course just producing a very messy wall.

Oi man, thanks for checking. Technically it's not a pack; I believe it's a set of samples that's once shipped with the MPC 4000…got it from some Akai sampler group on FB, I believe! More Headz walkthru stuff will come soonish.

What’s the name of the amen pack? I couldn’t find it on their site.

thanks I'm gonna check out those Rhythm Lab packs. I'm also not impressed by Splice overall. Tracklib is way better IMO and cheaper.

It could take a bit to amass a solid collection of breaks on Tracklib. Splice has many cool packs from Sample Magic, like "Reworked Breaks" and their "Vintage Breaks" series, but overall I am not super impressed with what Splice offers. I have gotten a lot of mileage out of Rythm Lab's Neu Jungle pack. There are a lot of fantastic breaks in there. And I think their Amen pack is one of the best I have come across. I think both of those packs are worth the money.

Janne Hatula

His stuff is good!

DRU

ah thanks man! How about Rhythm Lab? They have tons of breaks but I just wonder about the sound quality.

Janne Hatula

I havent really bought many sample packs for jungle specifically. Check out drums by Barry Beats!

Janne Hatula

Thanks Darren! Thanks for checking out the EP and the video!

Darren Stratton

Great EP and loved the walk through with the focus on structure and transitions. I think the genre needs some kind of 'red thread' and familiarity. Getting that balance right between repetition and variation and interest I feel is the difference between an ok tune and an amazing one!

DRU

Where would you recommend to get solid samples for jungle and dnb? Jungle/dnb producer sample packs or other genres? Splice, Tracklib? I feel like Splice isn't that good though. What do you think?
