Last (but definitely not least) this week is a set of inspiring foley sounds, glitchy electronics, and other samples from 99Sounds and musician/sound designer Gavin Thibodeau aka Embra.
In an interview with 99Sounds explaining the process behind this pack, Gavin reveals how tools such as Live factor into his work: 'I guess my favorite thing about Ableton Live is its rack capabilities. Seriously, so many of my sounds, whether sampler or synth, are layered in the racks and I use the macro function a lot! Also, its easy re-sampling functionality for quickly bouncing down sounds and being able to further manipulate them is really useful.'
Grab Gavin's sounds for yourself from 99Sounds.
