When they heard of Steve Jobs's death, on October the 5th, the french rock band Bravery in Battle decided at once to write some music to pay him homage. 
They have been using the Mac to make music for almost 15 years now and it's completely part of their creative process. 
They also have been using the iPad on stage since the very first days of its  launching to trigger samples and play instruments too cumbersome to carry. 
"Without Apple and its products", they say, "we wouldn't the artists we are today.
But we didn't want to write a song, we wanted to use Steve's very words and hear his own voice. That's why we used his memorable 2005 Stanford Commencement Address. We have chosen the words which seemed the most meaningful for us and for the occasion."

As an additionnal homage, they played all the music on an iPad, with GarageBand : a Steve Jobs Tribute using only his devices and softwares. 

To make a video; they used the same Stanford Address (made on a Mac too, with Final Cut Pro X).
The resulting music video is very touching and full of energy at the same time.

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
