This awe-inspiring pack from Eddy Beneteau's Supalife Records mixes Dubstep with popular and commercial Dance styles to create an entirely new, fresh and exciting experience!

'Supalife Dubstep: Dirty Dance Edition' includes loops and samples in a range of formats plus MIDI files, for enhanced flexibility.

Eddy Beneteau and Producer Loops set the standard for Dubstep productions with their hugely popular 'Supalife Dubstep: Smooth Edition', 'Supalife Dubstep: Hard Edition' and 'Supalife Dubstep: Dark Edition' packs, with 'Supalife Dubstep: Hard Edition' racking up an awesome Computer Music Score of 9/10 and 'Supalife Dubstep: Smooth Edition' and 'Supalife Dubstep: Hard Edition' sample packs close on its heels with a Computer Music 8/10 rating. 'Supalife Dubstep: Smooth Edition' was also given 9/10 by Future Music magazine, making these packs a clear favourite with the critics.

Eddy Beneteau's new offering will catapult your Dubstep into other dimensions, with five hard, twisted and frankly disturbingly dirty Construction Kits. These kits are fresh-sounding, energetic and lively, featuring Eddy's distinctive and vibrant sound throughout.

Expect wobbling and unstable (yet solid-sounding) basslines with hard as nail drums and FX to die for, and you'll get an idea of the content we have on offer here. The content is backed up by the usual Producer Loops feature set, including wet and dry loops, effect tails, MIDI files and one-shot synth and drum samples. Read on to find out more...

Computer Music Review (October 2011 Edition):
"This pack is made up of five construction kits, each one a minute long tune broken down into it's dark and ominous stems. There are also MIDI files, one-shots, dry versions of each sample and unlooped riffs with tails. It's all produced to perfection and there is a lot to play with considering the reasonable price... It's versatile and covers all dubstep angles. (SCORE 8/10)"

Future Music Magazine (February 2011 Edition):
"Containing five 140 BPM Construction Kits which blend Dubstep's lazy, halfstep beats with ethereal synth pads, D'n'B influenced riffs and even the odd vocal sample. Smooth Edition is a real winner, with highly original sounds by the bucketload and samples in every format you can imagine. If you're a Dubstep producer with an open mind, this one is an absolute must. (SCORE 9/10)"

Key and Tempo Tagging:
As with all Producer Loops products, the files in this pack include tempo and key information in the filename (as well as embedded within the format) so you can see them at a glance. This is very useful for fast integration with your existing projects.

About MIDI Files:
For producers demanding MIDI loops, PL's got you covered! 'Supalife Dubstep: Dirty Dance Edition' includes over 90 MIDI files (across all kits) that will give you access to the raw musical data, allowing you to assign your favourite drum and synth sounds to them.

Release Loops:
This product was built with flexibility in mind. Therefore, certain loops include 'Release' or 'Unlooped' versions of the loops, allowing you to end a sustained or heavily effected musical phrases with ease. Dry versions are also provided so you can add your own FX, as required.

One-Shot Samples:
Over 130 melodic synth and drum one-shot samples are included (across all five kits) allowing you to create your own sampler patches to use alongside the included musical content. Ranging from pads to basses, lead sounds and drums, you'll find plenty here of material to experiment with.

Plugin Alliance releases Brainworx bx_saturator

All-new American pro audio plug-in company Plugin Alliance LLC is proud to announce availability of bx_saturator, Plugin Alliance founder member Dirk Ulrich's renowned German M/S mastering tools and audio plug-ins company Brainworx's latest addition to its so-called 'Rock 'n' Roll line' of creative plug-ins as of April 24, 2012...

Specifically designed to bring technical excellence to creative musicians and engineers alike, bx_saturator is an M/S and multi-band saturation tool that can be used for mastering, mixing, and sound design applications. According to Ulrich, “Recording and mixing instruments and vocals using the Mid-Side (M/S) technique is one of the secret weapons that professional audio engineers and producers use when they want to capture a performance in a way described by most listeners as, 'Natural-sounding,' 'Wide,' and 'Big.'” Moreover, M/S recordings produce a very mono-compatible sound, and, although bx_saturator brings a mono/multi-mono version of the plug-in to the musical mix, the stereo M/S version of bx_saturator is considered by Brainworx to be the definitive plug-in for thickening or boosting any stereo signal or mix in a more discrete way than ever before.

As with all other Brainworx bx_ prefixed plug-ins, bx_saturator users can record Mid and Side tracks individually to retain total control over the stereo information until the final stage of production; as implied by name, it offers a subtle, warm distortion — or saturation — that works wonders on individual audio signals, yet can also be applied to the stereo master channel in the M/S stereo model, while Brainworx's new 'True-Split' crossover technology ensures that Mid and Side channels are always perfectly in phase.

Its creative use knows no bounds: increasing the perceived volume of mixes without them clipping, or bringing delicate signals like acoustic guitars and percussion to the fore in full mixes without increasing their actual level or EQ'ing them in harsh, offensive ways; distorting vocals in full mixes without sacrificing drum-track punchiness or stereo guitar and keyboard clarity, for instance. Independently fattening — or even slightly distorting — Mid and Side signals separately for high and low frequencies should serve up a tasty selection of imaginative and inspirational sounds in next to no time... technical excellence for the creative musician and engineer, indeed! (And for those needing a helping hand to get them started straight away, bx_saturator handily comes complete with 30 cool presets.)

Available in 64- and 32-bit versions, Brainworx's bx_ saturator plug-in can be purchased and downloaded (in all Mac OS X and Windows formats — VST 2.4, VST 2.3, RTAS, AU, AAX) for an introductory price of $179.00 USD (rising to $229.00 USD) from here: https://plugin-alliance.com/en/plugins/detail/bx_saturator.html

(Note: Plugin Alliance is offering a 30% off list price deal for all bx_ALL 2012 Bundle owners, saving them $69.00 USD — equalling an additional $19.00 USD saving
over and above the introductory offer!)
