Dub Pistols - Smoking Dubs 2 - PC/Mac
Various prices/formats - check the website for details.
WOWEE! A hearty collection of 'all things dub' indeed from this star library.
With this 'cornucopia' you get two main folders: the loops themselves plus sounds and FX.
These two split into more folders containing bass, drum, music and percussion loops and, in the Sounds/FX folder, you lay your hands on bass, bass multis, cymbal swells, drum hits, FX, synth and instrument hits plus synth multis.
Another ace addition is that the loops are in a multitude of keys and tempos so you can use the sounds in virtually any genre, and you can easily mix and match with other sounds from your Loopmasters libraries with no loss of audio quality whatsoever as they timestretch with ease, both up and down!
Keys range from Am, Cm and Em through to Bbm, F and C with lots in between. A lot of them have superb titles too such as 'Wicked very long', 'Brass Rubadub' and 'Spysiren'. A nice touch of humour from the Pistol people.
And the tempos range from 90bpm through to 177bpm which means you can create a masterpiece in Hip Hop, Reggae, Dub, Techno, Electronica, Ska and Punk if you so wish.
It's obvious a hell of a lot of creativity and care has gone into this 'ten out of ten' collection and my definite faves have to be the superb Hammond organ loops...
There are also two handy information folders for those who use Maschine - wherein the one-shot samples from this pack contain 'Tagged, Ready For Native Instruments Maschine' which will help locate the sounds once imported into the user library.

And, if you've never heard of the Dub Pistols before, rest assured they have an ace pedigree as Loopmasters can testify: 'An expansive 18-year career has seen the Dub Pistols working with The Specials, Busta Rhymes, Horace Andy, Madness and Gregory Isaacs. Their genre-smashing abilities have led to remix work for the likes of Moby, Crystal Method, Limp Bizkit, Bono, Korn & Ian Brown, Busta Rhymes, and soundtrack credits on Blade 2 & Y Tu Mama Tambien.
'Since their sixth album, ‘Return Of The Pistoleros’, (released on Rob Da Banks’s Sunday Best imprint) they’ve worked with the artist Gavin Turk and created music for a Banksy documentary. The rising star of British street art, Ben Allen, created his whole collection while listening to the Dub Pistols. Nothing is beyond the Dub Pistols – with Bono and The Edge at their electric live shows and Howard Marks doing their sleeve notes. The epic journey continues with Smoking Dubs 2!'
