Must-Have Pop
200+ TOP 40 Samples & Presets + Course on How to Use Them
Sample & Preset Pack
A set of 200+ sounds, designed to work across multiple sub-genres of pop and similar genres: K-pop, EDM, acoustic pop, top 40 pop etc.
Course on How to Use It
 A step-by-step course that shows you how to use every sound and also teaches you how to approach sound-selection and layering.Â
Have you ever spent an hour hunting for a simple snare, synth pad, or 808 only to get so frustrated you didn’t even want to keep working on your song?
After 21 years of producing, I can say with full confidence: About 70% of any great track is made of “foundational sounds.” The simple but essential building blocks that fit almost any song and can go in any direction. Only the remaining 30% are the song-specific sounds.
Which is why my co-creator Will Kast and I made "Must-Have Pop".Â
This sample & preset pack includes:
-
Hand-designed drum samples across the full pop spectrum: from subtle and ballad-friendly to huge and bombastic.
-
Unique drum sets and layering samples that will allow you to construct drums that exactly fit your song's vibe
-
Must-have FX like sub-drops, heys/yells, risers, wind-ups, and impacts
-
Serum 2 presets for my favorite bass and synth sounds
-
WAV versions of every preset, in multiple registers, so you can use them in any sampler or DAW.
But Must Have Pop isn’t just a sample pack: it’s also a course.
You'll learn:
-
How to use every sound in the pack
