The Soulful Psalmist is a Sound Doctrine release inspired by the many great female solo vocalists in gospel and soul that defined eras and established a standard, especially in gospel for years to come. Gospel recording artist Deborah Carolina is featured on this pack giving users an array of vocal moments to utilize for their tracks. Our in-house band accompanied her with classic three-piece instrumentation recorded in an early ‘70s style. With 15 original melodic loops full of instrument stems, one-shots, and drum loops, this pack is full of vintage sound that you can manipulate to make timeless music.

It's common for classically trained musicians and composers to have roots in the church. Throughout time, these musicians have contributed their formal music training to gospel’s development, specifically on the grand piano. Many composers, like Richard Smallwood, wrote music that introduced elaborate and elegant playing in the gospel genre. They mixed the raw and spontaneous nature of the music with a more technical and planned approach, pushing the genre forward while also pushing the use of the grand piano to the forefront of the genre in a new way.

The organ is a key instrument in churches across denominations and traditions. But specifically in the tradition of the Black American Church, the Hammond B3 organ became a staple for the gospel sound. Many of the world’s greatest players have roots and beginnings in the church, as many of those organists became master musicians simply because they had to be a one person band every Sunday morning.

Vital Organs Volume 1 is a special release that features playing by organ master Troy Chambers, who touts a discography containing multiple GRAMMY Award-winning gospel artists. This sample pack provides direct access to loops that are perfect as song starters or as the finishing touch of texture to a track.
