Freebies

It's summer time, and what better place can you spend time on than a tropical island, like Jamaica? Not all of us can afford to go there though, but at least we can afford to add some of its culture to our own music. To help us with that, the creators of Ras Kitchen, a rastafari/ital cooking TV show, have released a set of free vocal samples by Ras Mokko, who’s the show host and main chef. There are some classic rasta quotes in there, which are perfect for your dub/reggae inspired tunes. (http://goo.gl/gtpKu) EVAC has released Cleanroom Electronica Promo, a set of 25 free loops and samples taken from the Cleanroom Electronica sound library, which was released for SONY Creative Software. The promo pack contains some great sounding drones, atmospheric pads, and also some interesting percussion loops.

(http://goo.gl/yUw2u) And that's not all for you Live users, as Sonic Faction has released Whoosh Machine, a free Ableton Live instrument based on analog white noise samples. It’s useful for creating classic transition SFX like risers, swooshes, and such. (http://goo.gl/InjEi)
