Abstract
Since technology is continuously developing, now a days is beyond accessible to have a home studio thanks to the amount of affordable equipment. Some producers prefer to work in the box and overlook the sound quality achievable inside a recording environment. The author Emanuel Navarro Huertas, being a percussionist and a producer perceived the same drawback that whichever in a low budget recording or an in the box production percussion instruments depend on the environment that they’re being played and not everyone has the money or the time to hire a musician and book studio hours to record high-fidelity percussion tracks. Aside of the cost-effective circumstance of the recording industry, many producers are always in the exploration of new grooves and attractive rhythms to add curiosity to their productions. Tackling the concerns of both recording engineers and producers, Emanuel Navarro Huertas created the Tropical Sensations Sound Bundle. To encourage the use of traditional and cultural rhythms as tools for creation, sound design, or just forwarding the recording process, the author assembled and completed an original percussion library that unified 5 countries and merged ancient cultures with present ones. Emanuel provides samples and one shots to the need of the genre with a wide range of percussion sounds and grooves. The author, being a percussionist, has the ability to ¬play and catalog some of the most interesting and exotic percussion/drum sounds of historical cultures around South America & the Caribbean.
