Oxygen is a liquid drum and bass sample pack with drum loops, melody loops, MIDI, Spire presets, and an Ableton Live template for creating lush, funk-inspired tracks.
Purpose
This pack provides a curated set of sounds for liquid drum and bass production, focusing on the genre’s signature lush chords, mesmerizing plucks, steady basses, and smashing drums. It is designed to let producers build tracks playfully, with intuitive access to beats, melodic elements, and presets.
The included materials come in organized folders, separating WAV loops, MIDI files, and synthesizer presets. This structure supports quick browsing and dragging into a project, whether you want to use loops as-is, trigger MIDI patterns, or tweak preset sounds to fit your arrangement.
Key Capabilities
A notable feature is the Ableton Live 10 Template, which demonstrates how the pack’s elements are assembled into a full track. It offers a practical look at effect chains, mixing techniques for loops, and how to pair presets with MIDI. For non-Ableton users, all assets remain available in standard formats.
The pack includes numerous drum loops, melody loops, and percussion and FX samples, along with separate MIDI files and Spire presets. These components can be mixed freely to craft a complete arrangement, with the MIDI files allowing for note-level editing and the presets offering sound design flexibility when used in Spire.
Workflow
Start by auditioning the drum and melody loops to find a foundation for your track. Layer a steady bassline from the presets or MIDI, then use the percussion and FX samples to add texture and variation. The template serves as a blueprint for arranging these parts in Ableton, showing typical signal flow and processing.
If you prefer a DAW-agnostic approach, import the WAV loops directly into your timeline, drag MIDI files into your instrument tracks, and load Spire presets to reproduce the pack’s characteristic sounds. This flexibility allows you to adapt the tools to your existing production workflow without being locked into a specific host.
Practical Applications
Oxygen suits producers aiming to create liquid drum and bass tracks with a smooth, funk-infused vibe. The lush chords and plucks can anchor breakdowns, while the bass loops and drum patterns drive the rhythm sections. Experiment by combining different melody loops and MIDI parts to build unique chord progressions and leads.
For sampling, the percussion and FX clips can augment transitions, fills, or atmospheric layers. The included template is also a learning resource for understanding genre-specific mixing and arrangement, making the pack useful both for quick track construction and for studying production techniques.
