Dread: The Reggae Collection | Computer Music Magazine

45 varied construction kits and 262 individual audio files totaling an excellent 689 samples, make up this collection of reggae breaks, beats and loops. You'll find stacks of basslines, guitar riffs, breaks, keyboards, melody loops, drum hits and rhythmic loops, not to mention a stack of inspiring mixes to get you cracking on with the business of making tunes. The samples are well-recorded and range from clean, crisp offerings to heavily effected chops - particularly the guitar stabs, in true reggae style. Patching them together in their construction kits will lead to a ready-mixed and balanced combination, making this an instant path to reggae heaven. If you want to 'Marleyfy' your music-making then this'll be just the ticket. Packed with sounds that will keep you busy for hours, this is great stuff.
