We recently took a trip to F9 Studios to see how James creates these incredible works:

F9 TRAX represents our most powerful and versatile releases to date. In this TRAX release, we deliver 7 fully produced, professionally arranged & mixed DAW projects for you to explore and dissect within your own studio and DAW environment.

All main musical elements are crafted using the included multi-sampled instrument library, along with our meticulously designed drum kits and menus. This allows you to immediately start creating your own original productions using the remarkable sounds and atmosphere of the pack. Unlike typical loop-based content, the pack's core elements are driven by fully editable MIDI, giving you unparalleled creative freedom.

Our TRAX DAW templates are designed to be entirely self-contained, requiring no third-party plugins. Each template is built from a bespoke sound library that integrates seamlessly into the libraries you already know and love in Ableton Live or Logic Pro.

F9 Audio is renowned for its collection and innovative use of classic hardware synths, samplers, drum machines, and studio hardware. This pack is no exception, offering a modern take on iconic sounds and techniques.

From SP1200-resampled drums and chunky DX7 basses to hand-crafted 303 Acid sequences, lush JP8000 Supersaws, and 90s-style vocal and sax riffs, this release is packed with sonic inspiration. Alongside the expertly designed project files, you'll also gain valuable insights into advanced production techniques.

Currently, F9 TRAX is available for Ableton Live and Logic Pro, but each release is also converted into a WAV pack for users of other DAWs.
