New for NAMM: Studio One Add-ons!

New for NAMM: Studio One Add-ons! January 23,2014

The FREE update to Studio One 2.6.2 introduces, among other things, support for Add-ons, which will include program extensions, soundsets, plug-ins, and who knows what else. But to kick things off, we're proud to introduce the following trifecta:

Goldbaby Essentials:

If you're looking to get your 808 on without shelling out $3,500 on ebay-and don't forget that a MIDI-sync mod will run you for another couple hundred-this is the right pack for you at less than 1/100th of the price. But drum machines don't begin and end X0X kick drums, so the exclusive Goldbaby Essentials Soundset for Impact features a whopping 500 samples from beatboxes of yore, arranged into 32 Impact drum kit presets and 124 new musicloops.

This collection is very different than that no-name drum machine sample collection you regrettably BitTorrented a while back. You know the one I'm talking about: rife with clipping, inconsistent filenames, and varied sample rates. You got what you didn't pay for. Goldbaby Essentials has been meticulously, professionally sampled by a real pro, and processed with warm, saturated, real-analog-tape-saturated goodness. Add to that the money, space, and time you're saving when compared to buying all those drum machines and sampling them yourself-and you can't deny that Goldbaby Essentials is even better than the real thing(s).

You can purchase and download Goldbaby Essentials for $29.99 by clicking here.

Ampire XT Metal Pack:

If your sonic endeavors concern matters more grim and forstbitten, then the Ampire XT Metal Pack is your expressway to the heavy-guitar underworld. The pack features six new br tal amp models for Ampire, as well as six new cabinet emulations.

Furthermore, we've recognized that metal drums (and metal drummers) have rightfully begun to infringe on the guitar's monopolization of the metal spotlight. As such, we've included a brand-new metal drum kit for Impact, rife with clicky kick drums, anvil snares, and, well, metallic cymbals. We decided against including drum samples inspired by St. Anger. Up the Irons!

You can purchase and download the Ampire XT Metal Pack for $29.99 by clicking here.

You can hear a demo of the Metal Pack sounds via SoundCloud:

Studio One Artist MP3 Encoder:

This long-requested feature for Studio One Artist is now available as a convenient and inexpensive Add-on! Add .MP3 import and export functionality to Studio One Artist for a low price. Once you've installed this, clear up a little disk space by uninstalling Audacity-you won't be needing it to get your .MP3s converted to .WAVs for use in Studio One Artist anymore.

You can purchase and download the MP3 Encoder $9.99 by clicking here.
