Cyclick Samples - Carnival Crazy Volume 1 [24Bit WAV]_Sin

Carnivals the world over seem to focus on one central element (asides the dressing up like
lunatics) and that is rhythm. This sample collection provides some basic instruments for creating
full percussive rhythm sections (leaning very much toward the Samba band setup) to go Carnival
crazy. The loops are split into four tempo folders (110bpm, 130bpm, 150bpm and 160bpm) with all
lying in the 4/4 time signature except the 160bpm loops, which are in 6/8 time. Some of the loops
have a bar or two extra left on to allow cymbal and drum ringing to decay fully.

The samples were created by delving into some recent percussion recording multitracks and
sampling off the best hits. Once chopped out, processed and labelled the hits were dropped into
the ‘Percussion Hits’ folder. These were then used to program full percussion sections in Nuendo,
which were then given a little EQ, compression and extra room ambience before being chopped into
mixed and individual instrument loops. The loop sequence numbers are a guide to which were made
together (e.g. all the 02s, all the 03s, etc.), but mixing them up will produce some even richer
cross rhythms and accenting.
