Souls: Vocal Sample Pack on Black Octopus
Buy the pack here As someone who has written and released two albums and over 60 singles, I have to admit that writing for a sample pack has been kind of a mind melt. I wrote 6 songs, then promptly dismembered them. 16 GB of my music “data” is out there with minimal...
