It’s been 20 years since New Zealand outfit Buzz Audio (www.buzzaudio.com) released their first product, and to celebrate, they’ve just announced the Series 20 QSP, a four-channel, Class-A mic and instrument preamp. The input stages use a proprietary BE41 Class-A amp, and these are coupled to Lundahl output transformers, which Buzz Audio say “produces a clean and open high end with a nice touch of bass warmth”.

Ueberschall have just released a new sample library, entitled Soulful Pop. Comprising over 3.8GB of audio, Soulful Pop is a collection of construction kits spanning tempi between 59 and 100bpm. All the usual pop-music instruments are there (such as drums, basses, electric and acoustic guitars), as well as strings, organs, synth pads, flutes and electric pianos. All told, there are more than 1130 loops oriented around 18 different songs, with each song being split into five sub-sections: Intro, Main Kit, Variation Kit, Variation Kit 2 and Outro.
