nu.wav Rigo's Mando

Rigo’s Mando is a sample pack created by Nicaraguan-born, Puerto Rico-based producer, multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter Rigoazulado. It consists of loops and one-shots that push the boundaries of the mandolin as an instrument. Ranging from classic folk progressions, emotional triggering tremolos and quirky pizzicatos to unexpected stuff like percussion one-shots, bass loops and heavily processed sounds.

The recording of the pack was done with the Warm Audio 25, a tube condenser microphone, through an RME Babyface Pro FS to keep it clean and transparent. Further processing took place in Ableton Live using stock plugins, Arturia FX Collection and Eurorack audio processors.

Overall, this pack is filled with organic and experimental sounds that have the potential to bring an extra layer to your productions at any stage of the process, wether you need inspiration from one of the song-starter chord progressions, ear candy from the processed tremolos or straight-forward and clean plucky one-shots.
