Parallel Layers – Soundscape Cinematica WAV

Parallel Layers - Soundscape Cinematica WAV

Parallel Layers – Soundscape Cinematica WAV
Size 461 Mb

‘Parallel Layers: Soundscape Cinematica’ from Looptone pushes the envelope with this pack, a sonically rich collection of 35 emotionally and texturally varied evolving, electronic soundscapes. The complete collection is a melting pot of creative stimulation, crossing many genres and blurring music

Producers looking for inspiration for film, trailer and all styles of Electronica will find this an invaluable resource.

The concept is simple. If you break it right down to basics, most tracks are made up of just highs, mids and lows. Each soundscape idea has been taken and naturally evolved, letting it build over several bars. The soundscapes are in either 8, 16 or 32 bar loops. Each idea is presented to you in three components including the top, mid and bottom layers. You can easily manipulate the soundscape as you need, or individually use which ever layer takes your fancy or simply play the three parallel layers together for the full musical idea. Also included are 11 of the most musical ideas as MIDI files so you can easily add a new layer or re-voice as you need.

This set of sounds is jaw-droppingly beautiful and the best part is its diversity. Ranging from straight up drifting ambience to hard-edged dark and edgy textures. Dropping heavy pulsing, driving Cinematic pieces but also uplifting euphoric musical progressions and finishing with weird and wonderful otherworldly textured soundscapes.

You will stumble across many hidden gems and hopefully something you wouldn’t have expected to help spark a fire in a busy studio session. The full pack is spread over three well used tempos from 80-140 BPM so it sits tightly in many genres.

Don’t think of these soundscapes as purely for ambient tracks, they would bring a sprinkle of magic to Hip Hop, deep Tech House, Future Bass, Drum n Bass or anywhere that a layer of sonic warmth and depth is needed.

‘Parallel Layers: Soundscape Cinematica’ is a beautifully crafted set of moods, textures and musical progressions designed for producers of all styles of music looking for an extra tool for the studio toolbox, and anyone looking to inject something different into their tracks.

Producer Loops European Pop Vocals Vol 2 WAV MIDI
Size 0.99 Gb

‘European Pop Vocals Vol 2’ is the latest release in this best-selling series of vocal-driven Pop Construction Kit products. Inside you’ll find five powerful arrangements featuring a variety of drum and instrument loops, including acoustic drums and percussion, bass, acoustic guitar, strings, FX and more. These elements on their own are sure to inspire countless future Pop hits.

Each Kit includes multiple song sections, a range of contemporary Pop instrumentation and complete vocal tracks that run through the entirety of each song.

At the heart of each of these five arrangements is a complete vocal track including verses, choruses, and other adlibs and vocal effects. You can chop and mangle these vocals, or simply drag and drop them in as-is to form the basis of an entirely new track.

MIDI Files Included:

Like so many other Producer Loops products, ‘European Pop Vocals Vol 1′ includes MIDI files for the majority of musical phrases heard in each Kit, allowing you to seamlessly mix your favourite synths and samplers with the sounds contained in the pack.

Advantages of MIDI:

While the supplied ACID/Apple Loops are extremely flexible and powerful, MIDI has the added benefit of allowing you to go to extremes of pitch and tempo beyond which the loops were originally recorded, with no time stretching or pitch shifting artefacts. Furthermore, you can make tweaks to the riffs so they fit perfectly into your existing mixes.

One-Shot Samples:

This pack also includes One-Shot samples, allowing you to create new beats, fills and loops to compliment the existing material. Simply load them up into your sampler of choice and create an infinite number of new grooves and phrases.

Dry/Wet Loops:

For users looking to simply drag and drop, the ‘wet’ files contain all of the effects processing heard in the audio demos. But for producers looking to create their own effects mix, ‘dry’ loops are also included. Don’t like the wet loops? No problem – add your own effects.

Unlooped Riffs/Tails:

This sample library also comes with unlooped/tail versions allowing you to end a phrase with the decay of the reverb/delay applied to the loop, another “Producer Loops” exclusive product feature.

Royalty-Free:

All of the loops in this product are 100% Royalty-Free (including the vocal loops), so once purchased, you can use these loops in your commercial releases without having to pay any hidden costs.

Phonat Presents Organica WAV
Size 660 Mb

Origin Sound proudly introduce “Phonat Presents Organica”, an exclusive library of supreme samples brought to you by critically acclaimed producer OWSLA producer Phonat.

With over 800mb of diverse audio to immerse yourself in, this pack is a must for keen producers of all skill levels and tastes.

Start by diving into the Music Loops folder.

Including 23 angular, digital bass loops, all labelled with key and bpm for a seamless workflow.

The ideal accompaniment to these can be found in the chord loops folder. Home to 40 assorted unique and pristine chordal sounds.

From resonant modular sounds to more ethereal and angelic loops, there’s something in there for everyone.

If you want to give your chords that extra flare, then make sure you utilise the melodic loops folder, containing 20 shimmering synth loops, a perfect top layer to any electronic production.

If you prefer to work in larger groups, then the stacked song-starter loops folder is for you, combining layers from each previous loop folder into one heavier sonic texture, ideal for establishing a base sound.

If you ever find yourself stuck for drums and percussion, then this pack is the perfect remedy.

The drum one shots in this pack are incredibly diverse whilst still being widely usable.

The kicks for example take on a typically punchy and warm texture, but stretch left of field for those looking for something truly unique.

The same can be said for the percs and tops, combining real life one shots with more synthetic audio, making for a unique percussive collection.

The snares stick strongly to this trend, with some accommodating interesting tails and others remaining short and punchy, perfect for all types of electronic music.

A great way to source inspiration for any producer is always through browsing pre-made loops.

Our folder of assorted drum loops will give you all the inspiration you need. Each loop is home to its own set of individual attributes, including metallic overtones and spaced out grooves.

As is standard with all of our packs, we have included separate folders for renders of kick and snare and percs and tops for extra percussive layering.

We have also included 16 full loops, combining sounds from the previously mentioned drum / music loops folders, an ideal template for creativity, using the sonics to craft a sound of your own.

Further fine tuning can be found in the musical single hits folder.

These assorted bass and synth one shots give you full control over your sound.

Sticking to the unique and digital timbres associated with this pack, these sounds allow you to take a bottom up approach to your production, giving you a great starting point for a track.

Finally, bring your music up to the top level by utilising the folder of diverse SFX.

Ranging from atonal foley and metallic clicks, to lush pads & digital risers, these sounds give you the potential to emulate a natural flow through well crafted transitions and layers.

Phonat Presents Organica is an extensive sample pack designed with finesse, keeping in mind producers of all skill levels, whilst retaining an off the wall character, typically associated with Phonat’s intricate sound.

This pack is a must buy.
