Hello All,
Today we released our new Roots Upright Bass (RUB) sample library for Kontakt. Below are the details -
This style of bass playing evolved from music where there were no drums to establish a strong rhythm. Therefore it was the job of the bass player not only to play the bass lines but also to create a strong rhythmic feel using special percussive techniques. We were very fortunate to be able to work with a musician who is a master of this style - Eric Thorin. We were also lucky enough to do the recording sessions at Grace Design studios in Lyons, Colorado.
Thank you for your time!
