Sirocco/SonicSpecialists release "Urban Fire: Sounds of the Super Producers" Vols 1+2

i know a lot of people in this section only come to GS for this section, so im posting it here as well due to the overwhelming amount of messages ive gotten about its impending release/interest

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The SonicSpecialists have released "Urban Fire: Sounds of the Super Producers" Volumes 1 & 2. "Urban Fire" is a series of premium drum libraries geared towards today’s Hip-Hop & Pop producers and was developed by the engineers at SonicSpecialists.

Not satisfied with the current offerings by other companies, The SonicSpecialists have taken it upon themselves to bring their company to the forefront of the urban sample industry. Utilizing only the newest and most high-end hardware and software from companies such as SSL, Universal Audio, Empirical Labs, and Neve, they have culminated their years of experience in the industry to create a multi-dimensional drum library that transcends genres. CEDAR advanced noise reduction has been seamlessly applied to every file giving only the most pristine sound.

The title, "Sounds of the Super Producers", is not just for decoration; Urban Fire takes influences from today's top producers in both the Hip Hop and Pop industries to create kicks, claps, snares, and hi-hats that are breathtakingly similar to today’s commercial hits. Listening to the demos on their website, Sonic Specialists Presents: Urban Fire Volumes One & Two, will make it obvious that this is an opportunity of a lifetime.

Volumes 1 & 2 of "Urban Fire" are available as instant downloads for $74.95 each. A limited time promotion is currently available, giving you access to an exclusive volume, entitled Volume Zero, when Volumes 1 & 2 are purchased in one transaction. The libraries come in WAV format for easy compatibility with all workstations and samplers. (Both PC & MAC are supported).

For more information, visit their website at Sonic Specialists Presents: Urban Fire Volumes One & Two

Congrats on all your hard work Sirc! I know it's often a much longer and more colorful road to completion that is expected at the beginning of any project... So final release is always something to be especially proud of.

Looking forward to these.

Thanks a lot, it has been a long time coming - lots of trials a tribulations and tests of my consistency and work ethnic. I thought I would never see the light at the end of the tunnel -- but at the end, the culmination of the fruits of my labor have shined brightly.

I am not sure exactly, but maybe he is talking about more content such as loops or construction kits (which in my opinion - ARE NEVER GOOD ENOUGH and end up sounding like crap in any library of auditioned)

Save $10 a week and in a couple of months you'll be able to get one of the volumes then....it's the cost of a night out really isn't i (or a pint in London).

This is really so cheap that (assuming the quality's up with the hype - I'm sure it is, just haven't checked it out myself yet) it should be a must buy. it's not like it's a $400 EastWest bundle.

I mean, I'm a rock guy, but I'll be checking out the demo kits and will prob get one or both just for the rare time I need hip-hop drums. It's like the Massey Plugs for PT users - the amount of quality for the price means that you can't really say no.
