Apollo Sound – 808 Bass Samples

This is what no modern music producer can create without! Guess what it is?! Off course high quality & various 808 samples! You have tons of this stuff on the internet, but most of it is crap. So Apollo Sound decided to create their own universal 808 Bass Sample (Affiliate Link) pack in Apollo Sound Labs.

To get the best result Apollo Sound took authentic iconic Roland TR-808 drum machine and a few great analog & digital hardware synths (Dave Smith Mopho, Yamaha Motif, Access Virus, Korg Volca Bass), sampled a massive amount of sound sources from them, tuned and mixed it to perfection. After that, Apollo Sound went crazy a Lil’bit and started to experiment. Processed the 808 sounds with Akai reel-to-reel tape, Roland SP-404 sampler, distortion/fuzz guitar effect’ pedals, and many many different plug-ins.

Eventually, Apollo Sound got 180 unique 808 one-shots & effects, 50 boomin’ 808 bass loops, 50 detailed 808 midi loops, 45 exclusive 808 synth presets (Serum, Massive, Spire), and 26 incredible custom-made 808 synth patches for the KONTAKT sampler. You can find here the whole spectrum of 808 and 808 type sounds you can only imagine: distorted 808s, chorused 808s, lo-fi’ed 808s, saturated 808s, glided 808s and etc.

This 808 Bass Sample (Affiliate Link) library is endlessly inspiring and irreplaceable in the hand of any artist or music producer. You can play with these sounds for all eternity. Processed & clean 808 samples, short & long 808 samples, flexible synth presets can bring your mixes to industry-standard worldwide hits! Don’t waste your time, download this 808 treasure and become a superstar!

Apollo Sound – LoFi Hip Hop Guitar

Mmm… tasty!!! Our new pack is as delicious as hot donuts! It’s a super chill & super melodic lofi guitar sample pack called LoFi Hip Hop Guitar. Especially for this release we have recorded for you extremely sought-after guitar type – hollow body electric guitar. This guitar is considered the standard in lofi, chillhop, jazz music & has its’ own unique sound which is very recognizable but it’s difficult to replicate it using a standard electric guitar.

To make this library top-notch we took Ibanez AF75 hollow body electric guitar, Vox AC15CH limited edition guitar amp head, Orange PPC212OB guitar cabinet and recorded guitar sound with three ways: JHS PulpNPeel V4 DI pedal, AKG C414 condenser microphone, Shure SM58 dynamic microphone. We’ve processed all the three signals via analogue preamps & compressors, equalized and mixed it together to perfection.

Eventually, we got stunning collection of lofi guitar loops, chord progressions & guitar melodies recorded in 7 different tempos and more than 10 different keys. But in our opinion the main thing in this pack is not loops, but guitar one-shots! We’ve recorded, processed with a vintage gear & digged from vinyl a great set of lofi guitar chords, licks & slides. Jazzy, funky, bluesy, soulful, sad, happy, calm: you can play & combine these guitar one-shots for all eternity and it gives you really infinite inspiration in lofi hip hop beats production!

The library was performed by gifted chillhop producer & professional session guitar player Michael Melkumian. We were very pleased with the outcome, as ever, and hope you will too! The pack fits perfectly for creating LoFi Hip Hop, ChillHop Beats, Downtempo, Chill Trap, Future Soul and Ambient tracks. Check out the demo and audio examples, grab them and start creating your beats with this splendid guitar samples’ collection!

Please note: this is a Guitar Sample Pack only! The DEMO contains other sounds exclusively for illustration and they are not included in this sample pack.
