Get Custom Tracks with Smart Loops' Live Studio Drums Service
December 29, 2003
Smart Loops, a developer of music content and creation tools, announced Live Studio Drums, a service that provides custom drum tracks at an affordable price. Live Studio Drums (LSD) goes beyond loops by providing unique content created specifically for each customer. All LSD tracks are recorded specifically for each client's song, providing the real "feel" and "groove" needed to produce truly natural-sounding music. LSD projects are delivered to customers with multi-track files (kick track, snare track, toms tracks, overheads tracks, etc.), allowing clients to mix the song any way they choose.
Smart Loops is offering an introductory special of Live Studio Drums at only $49 per song. This limited time offer is all-inclusive, providing a professional drummer and studio time with no additional expenses. When compared to the cost of a professional drum session in a commercial studio, LSD offers considerable savings. Typical commercial studio rates range from $50 per hour to $175 per hour, and professional drummers are paid anywhere from $200 and up (way up) to learn and perform new material. By using Live Studio Drums for only $49 per song, clients save hundreds, perhaps even thousands of dollars on each song.
Live Studio Drums helps songwriters bring their songs to a professional level with real acoustic drum tracks, custom recorded by a live drummer. No loops, no MIDI, no samples, and no electric drums are used. All LSD sessions are custom recorded by a real drummer and provide the "feel" that only comes from human performance. Virtually any PC or Mac workstation, such as Cakewalk, Pro Tools, Digital Performer, Cubase, and Logic Audio can use LSD. After loading the Live Studio Drums session into their system, clients have complete control of their LSD tracks. They can slice them up to change the arrangement of their song as needed, or even extract drum parts for use in other songs.
Smart Loops has created a online system to assist customers in producing their Live Studio Drums sessions. LSD clients fill out an Internet-based set-up sheet to indicate musical genre and technical info for the project. Next, customers can get directly involved in producing their session by specifying desired drum sounds, selecting drum sticks or brushes to be used, establishing performance guidelines for the drummer, and even choosing the audio processing for their tracks. The same online system also processes the customer's order, handles payment, and uploads reference tracks with which the drummer plays.
