Recorded using various microphone methods and mixed with more traditional dual articulations bass and a set of analogue sub-bass signals with several samples, CLOUD BASS is very different from ordinary orchestral or jazz libraries with double bass.
Expect amazing, unheard sounds – low raucous rumble, cinematic beats and rumbles, delicate whispering swarms and CLOUD BASS can easily make half a decent LOVE CATS
