The future of this series is in your hands!
During the sampling sessions for this series, I recorded many other instruments. I have just started to work on these recordings, and there is enough material to create at least 20 new Primes! Some of these instruments are very promising (talking drum, water udu, collection of tars…) and others would be wonderful as new giveaways (claves, shekere …).
However, for a one-man company like loops de la crème, working on such an extended project is very time-consuming. It means stopping all other side activities to dedicate time to the Primes.
And while I’ve been able to really draw on years of experience to create a set of splendid instruments (I’m so very proud of them!), I don’t have a marketing team by my side that can dedicate time and effort purely to the sales of these instruments. This is why your feedback, your purchases, your post on social media, and your participation in audio forums have a huge impact and will directly contribute to the development of future instruments in this series :)
Thank you for your trust and support!
