New Two-CD Sample Library Covers Classic Drum Loops
December 8, 2003
Beta Monkey Music has released Classic Backbeats Plus, a two-CD
collection of over 1,200 original drum loops with a decidedly classic and
retro sound for today's rock and pop music. With grooves, groove variations,
fills, one shots, and single hit samples, this collection of acoustic
grooves is designed for any production looking to add the pure and
unadulterated tones of an acoustic drum kit that sounds right out of your
favorite small to medium-sized club.
The loops are suitable for all variants
of the rock and pop genres, but are particularly for use in recording
situations where only live, acoustic drums will do. The drum loops
are organized by BPM and style, ranging from 55 BPM half-time ballad grooves
to up-tempo rock and pop grooves at 150+ BPM. All drums are
sonically-matched (being from the same recording session) and are free of
excessive processing.
The Classic Backbeats Plus Two-CD Set (shipped free world-wide either as a
set or individually) contains 1,252 "acidized" grooves, fills, and one shots
in PCM WAV format, ready for use in ACID, Cubase, Sonar, ProTools and all
samplers and software compatible with WAV format files. Also included are
more than 150 single drum and cymbal hit samples from the recording sessions
for further customization of your groove tracks. All loops, whether one,
two, or four-bar grooves, are set to the correct BPM, have correctly set
loop points to the whole of the loop, and are organized in groove folders
indicated by style and tempo. The Classic Backbeats Plus Two-CD Set weighs
in at a combined 1.3 GB.
Sold direct by Beta Monkey Music, an individual CD costs $16.99 while the two-CD set goes for $24.99. For more information, visit their web site at www.betamonkeymusic.com. |
