Review: Studio Wormbone Sample-Packs

As a creative producer you are always on a quest to find new ways to break out of your usual producing-habits, in order to avoid boring your listeners to death with the 13261st tune that sounds exactly like your previous productions. Sometimes sample-packages can represent a good way to find the desperately needed inspiration. In this article we are going to have a closer look (and listen) at three outstanding sample-packages created by the US-based production-house “Studio Wormbone” run by sound-engineer Trevor Dutton: “Atmospherix: Ominous Environments”, “Droid Artworx” and “Cybernetic”.

Free sample-pack: Distorted TR-505 drum-kit by DJ Quartzlocker

This one is for the producers amongst you. Paris-based hardcore-artist DJ Quartzlocker from France was kind enough to provide a very special contribution to the HardtraX blog in form of a free sample-package!

DJ Quartzlocker created a small but fine kit of one-shot samples by hooking up his Roland TR-505 drum-machine to a Boss Metal Zone distortion-pedal. The result is a dirty, sick, distorted kit of very useful samples that do not sound much like the drums that you originally get out of Roland’s normally rather basic and plain-sounding machine.

HardtraX presents: Darkstyle Loop-Therapy Sample Pack

If you are a producer and would like to create your own tracks fitting into the “dark hardtekkno”-category, then my first (and probably only) free sample-package called “HardtraX: Darkstyle Loop-Therapy” might be just the right thing you need to get inspired.
