Pure nostalgia, reduction to the essentials or is it the retro charm that is so popular thanks to Lo-Fi? Either way: While battleships like Kontakt, Falcon or HALion boast ever more complex features and make entire orchestras playable in a realistic way, trackers and old-school samplers are celebrating one revival after another.
We‘ll show you why this hard- and software is so popular for Lo-Fi sound, how you can produce emotional tracks with the popular lo-fi flair and provide the right plug-ins for the most important tricks. We‘ll also give you our own tracker, which lets you revive more than just the vibe of the 80s.
Hands-on: From sample to finished track – in 2 hours

So the demand for the beats is there, all that‘s missing is the „how to“ … and we‘ll show you that now!
