Dim the lights and start up the projector, it's time to sit back and take in the deepest, smokiest atmospheres on wax. If you're looking to add a touch of funky cool to your hottest soundtrack, you'll be glad you found this cache of sweeping cinematic moods and swaggering gangster grooves.

Arriving hot on the heels of the highly acclaimed 'Planet of the Orchestra', Jean Baptiste Lacaze brings you these new experimental Construction Kits, taking inspiration from the effortless grooves of Bill Evans, and the romantic drama of Ennio Morricone. 

With A-list loops clearly labelled by musical key, ranging from 176 BPM all the way down to an utterly relaxed 62.5 BPM, you're able to conjure up the perfect mood whatever the pace of the action. 

This comprehensive and truly unforgettable 500MB library is grouped by instrumentation into 11 virtual ensembles, playing 76 different compositions. 

What's more, every ensemble is further broken down into individual stems such as piano, bass, brass and guitar, so you can mix and match as much as you need, extending your compositions to fit any length.

Combining the sultry sound of the sixties and seventies with the cutting edge synth technology of today, this pack has been lovingly crafted with great respect for Hollywood heritage, by an engineering wizard unafraid to experiment with sophisticated scales, classic instruments, telephone EQs, big basses and vintage compressors. 

Focussing on retaining the sparkling dynamics of the original sounds while perfecting the saturated ambience of the era, these remarkable loops will shock and surprise you from one emotion to the next, with melody being used sparingly to leave you space to customise the composition to your latest blockbuster. 

This stunningly diverse selection has more plot twists than a film-noir classic, so there are always sounds here to fit the stories you like to tell. Of course, everything is royalty-free, so you don't need to worry about a private detective waking you up in the middle of the night. 

Anyone from Sam Spade to John Shaft would be happy keeping the streets clean with this high-grade sound library as backup, so if Quincy Jones isn't answering your calls, dive into this heavy stash of celluloid-ready arrangements and get cutting!

Cakewalk has done it again, this time taking their flagship DAW SONAR to the next level, adding tons of new features and functions. SONAR X2 is here and Eli Krantzberg is the man with the plan, showing you all of its ins and outs. 

Eli begins with the basics such as basic audio and MIDI hardware setup and settings, interface overviews, bussing and auditioning loops, using the Synth Tab to browse and load soft synths and cool Time Ruler & Transport tips. Next, Eli goes deeper and gets into recording MIDI and Audio, customizing your workflow, editing in Track View, using Markers, the Track Inspector and Clip Properties.

Eli then shows you how to work with Groove Clips, the Piano Roll View, Auto-Punch Recording, Loop Recording and working with Take Lanes. Mixing is next on the menu with lessons on customizing the Console View, Multi-Port Instruments and Track Folders, working with real-time effects and effect chains. He then wraps up the series with advanced mixing techniques such as using Sends and Busses, EQ and Compression, Automation Modes and Lanes, the ProChannel and final mix and fade out.
