I ran across an interesting Reddit post today:
“I sometimes wonder if the reason Reason is getting less popular is because they piracy-protected it so well. I mean, FL is probably partially popular because 90% of its users can just torrent it. They’ve protected it so well that kids can’t download a recent version, therefore are not easily going to pick up on it, not create tutorials, not tell their friends etcetera. Not sure about this theory, just wondering. Wondering what you guys think.”
Why is this interesting? The Reddit poster poses an interesting theory where Propellerhead Software, the developer of Reason has stunted the proliferation of Reason as viable music production tool due to its Draconian licensing practices. This posture seems reasonable if you consider a few things. Not all software users are participating members of the profit driven licensing model. Many FREE tutorial and instructional videos available on YouTube are created by younger users without access to the funds or means to legally purchase (license) software and plugins. The best informational resources may be developed and distributed by these non-paying users.
The idea here is that the non paying, pirating users of Reason would make Propellerhead’s most effective street team and increase the software’s popularity and user base. Of course, this idea isn’t limited to just Propellerhead Software but extends to many types of developers and non-software distribution models (think about your own music). It’s a fact that many of us beatmakers and producers start out using pirated software and eventually purchase it at some point during our careers. This is becoming easier, more affordable, and enticing with subscription based software and plugin licensing.
What are your thoughts? Do you think piracy serves a greater marketing purpose? Are some developers too restrictive and draconian with their licensing?

The drums were recorded from a classic 78 Pearl Kit directly to tape. Erik gives you the option to chop 20 original live breaks or program using 21 one shot drum samples.

All samples, drum loops & melodies were created on my Roland MC 505, MC 909, SP 808, ENSONIQ ASR-10 and edited on a studio computer. Every sound was recorded into 10A’s computer (24bit) and fed and sampled into my Ensoniq ASR-10, which was then fed back into 10A’s computer at the ASR-10s (16 bit 44.1khz) sample rate. 10A then processed and layered each sound.
“My main goal for this kit was to get the snappiest snares, Punchiest kicks, Alien like 808s and intricate drum loops to have a point of deference for every producer and their creative needs.” -10A

DJ Manipulator knocking out a banger on Native Instruments Maschine using Drum Broker’s – Texture, Crunch, & Percussion by EARS Sample Pack
Download Here: Drum Broker Presents – Texture, Crunch, & Percussion by EARS
The Drum Broker has teamed up with Sound Designer EARS to bring you a truly unique and one of a kind percussion kit. Texture, Crunch, & Percussion is a collection of 237 unique and unusual percussion sounds.
The inspiration for this kit, came from years of collecting unusual percussion and various instruments, as a beatmaker, EARS often found himself searching for strange acoustic percussive textures, which help create big wet crunchy snare sounds and shaker samples, bells, gongs, rattles etc. to layer with his hi hats and thicken the textures that will glue the break together, and influence the overall groove of the beat.
These samples were recorded in a bedroom studio, and as a result you will hear occasional distant traffic noise and birds, the charm of this kit is in the detail and colour the recordings, they aren’t clinical sounds, but rather a creative approach to making useable samples that have tonnes of character.
All percussion samples recorded using Neumann KM-184 Microphones, running through a Universal Audio 6176 Channel strip, into a Neve 8803 Equalizer, tracking to Logic using the Universal Audio Apollo Twin.
All samples have been carefully edited and have had some Low end cleaned up with a gentle roll off, the top end has been slightly brightened using the Neve and then Maag Eq. Some subtle compression has been handled by the Manley Vari-mu.
Samples are Dry and Normalized as 24 bit Wav. files.
Kit Features 237 Royalty Free Samples in Total:
