Other supported formats are AIFF (Apple File Format) and MP3
*Some 16 bit Tabla loops are available with 24 bit 96 Khz sampling rate on request.
Quality:
Original Sound
All Tabla Loops are originally recorded in Higher Sampling and Bit Rate (24 Bit 96 Khz). Only Professional Quality Equipments are used. Tabla Loops are packed unprocessed and remain with their Original Sound as they appear during recording process. This is done with a view that they will be further processed according to the project needs.
Music Instrument Used
Highest Quality Tabla Instruments are used sourced from the best Tabla Manufacturers. Only pro grade Tablas are used like Tablas specially built for specific recording in Calcutta and Banaras styles of making.
Artists:
Professional Grade Commercial Artists have played Tabla who took time to compose the original and popular Tabla Rhythms.
Key Signatures:
Tabla Loops are recorded in popular Key Scales so that they can be easily Transposed to different Key Levels. Special Care has been taken to keep the Key Level consistent during recording process.
Tablas are re-tuned after every 10 minute of recording with a view that produced Tabla Rhythms will be used as reference content for high precision recordings for miscellaneous usages. Both left and right drums are tuned with highest precision verified by listening, digital tuner and other tuning softwares.
Tempos:
Tabla Loops are recorded in mid tempos so that they could be increased or decreased as per the needs conveniently.
The Tempos can be modified from within the Sound Softwares without affecting any major loss to the Tonal Quality of Tabla Rhythm.
Synthesizers, Keyboards and Samplers, Workstations:
Tabla Loops can be imported into Synthesizers, Keyboards, Samplers and Workstations.
Format: Some Synthesizers, Keyboards, Samplers and Workstations require Tabla Loops in 16 Bit 44.1 Khz. In that case supplied Tabla Loop WAV files (of 24 Bit 96 Khz Sampling Rate) need to be downsampled to 16 Bit 44.1 Khz Sampling Rate.
Compatibility:
It is required to check with your Synthesizers, Keyboards, Samplers and Workstation Manufacturer whether it supports WAV file import. Most of the Synthesizers, Keyboards, Samplers and Workstations support the WAV file import.
Recording Environment:
The Tabla Instrument produces a blend of higher and lower range of frequencies. Its lower range of frequencies dominate. These are the main features of Tabla Acoustics :
Frequency Spectrum:
Here is the Frequency Spectrum Analysis of a typical unedited Tabla Loop.

(Frequency Spectrum of a typical Tabla Rhythm – Kaharwa Taal, 8 Beats recorded at 24 bit 96 Khz with V shaped Stereo Condenser Microphone. Frequency and Level Datasheet)
Studio Room Acoustics:
Large Room : Tabla Loops were recorded in a large room setup so that their could be minimum overlapping of sound waves and the instrument could find maximum space to resonate naturally and to give natural echo and reverb.
Stereophonic Recording:
Tabla Loops were recorded with Two XY Stereo Condenser Microphones focused separately on the Left and Right Drums. The sound of Left and Right Drum can be modified independently though there is no 100% Separation between the two channels as It was physically not possible to play on both drums (by the same artist) and to separate the sound channels.

Installation:
There is no Installation required to use Tabla. These are the steps to use Tabla Loops –
- · Download
- · Uncompress (unzip the downloaded file)
- · Import or Open (from within the Sound Editing Software)
or Put the loop files into loop browser or explorer folder of the related Sound Softwar. It will sHow up in the Sound Software loop and plugin section.
Import:
Importing Tabla Loops into Sound Editing Software and Digital Audio Work Station DAW Softwares:
To use Tabla Loops files they need to be imported into the Sound Editing Softwares instructions of which varies from Software to Software.
