Future Garage has been produced with great attention to detail. The sound bank is 700 MB in size and offers heavy ultra deep sub-basslines, wobbling pads, widespread choruses and loose, broken drums.
Among the 139 loops, ranging from 8 to 16 bars length, you will find mix- and backing-parts, drum-mixes as well as loops of bass drum, snare/clap, hi-hat, percussions, bass, synths and FX. Additionally the 69 single sounds can easily be combined to new drum patterns.
Individual tracks are available for each of the four construction kits, allowing for complete re-arrangements and new constructions. To offer further flexibility, the kits are also divided into subfolders such as intro, a-part, b-part and outro.

Vintage Vibe is the latest Kontakt-powered virtual instrument from Big Fish Audio and offers a huge collection of multi-sampled instruments.
From rare, collectible and one-of-a-kind pieces to cheap knock-offs and banged up stuff found in junkyards - all the instruments have a unique character and vibe that is often absent from the 'meticulously recorded' and 'pristine' sampled instruments of today.
Featuring a huge choice of live and open drum sets with snares that crack and ring and toms that thunder, untamed by gates or compressors, Vintage Vibe also delivers keyboards that range from 'classic' to 'borderline psychotic', basses and guitars covering many musical genres and even a psychedelic staple of the late 1960's – the electric sitar.

In a new tutorial feature devoted to the creative use of Melodyne, Celemony is focussing on remixing. Melodyne is known as a great tool for the correction of intonation errors and the optimization of vocal tracks, but is capable of much more.
A series of video tutorials now shows how Melodyne helps to separate a vocal part from its accompaniment, how to produce crazy echoes and other effects with Melodyne's characteristic audio notes and how to use audio-to-MIDI to double or replace sounds. Fundamentals, such as how to adapt loops fast to new musical contexts and the more efficient use of Melodyne in a DAW, are also dealt with.
