This one started out in life as a tune by "direct-to-marching band" composer Jay Bocook, called "Sun Cat", and it was one of those tunes that high school players of a reasonable talent could learn quickly and spend practice time mastering. It also had moments that featured the various instrument...

I'm trying to figure out what's that electrified sound after they show Rami Malek holding the camera lens. Any idea on how to get a sound similar to that from a library? For bass I'm looking at Jazz Bass from Fluffy Audio. Not sure on the brush snare. I was recommended a few libraries but they...

I know they probably had real musicians. If I just want to use virtual instruments, what's a good library to get for drums, upright bass, guitar to get a sound similar to that? Also that electrify sound a few seconds in sounds awesome! Just looking to experiment with that sound from the track...

Anybody have this to sell ?

Happy Saturday, VIC! Here's a thing I did this week prompted by a Game Jam on Itch.

Hi I need some advise about where I can find drum jazz midi loops. I have BFD + Superior 3 and Addictive Drums, so it would be nice if they could work with them. I have Groove Monkee and just about all the midi loops from the above 3 drum packages, but maybe someone knows where to find the "gold"!
