A TRULY FIRST-CLASS VOYAGE

Voyage - Chilled Trip Hop & Electronica - Loopmasters - PC/Mac - Royalty-free - Ableton Live 9.7.5 £34.95/Apple Loops £34.95/Bass Wav Loops £9.95/Drum + Perc Wav Lps £9.95/Guitar Wav Loops £9.95/One Shots + Patches £14.95/Reason 5+ Refill £34.95/Synth & Vocal Wav Loops £9.95/ZIP (main) £34.95.

Make no mistake, this is deffo one of those 'top releases of 2020 so far'.

A really lush landscape of sound with more icing on the cake - excellent vox indeed - which add a genuinely pleasing touch.

It's genuinely hard to describe this 'pure class' offering and it will definitely keep your creative juices flowing for ages. It's one of those collections you will keep for years and continuously come back to for adding bits of it to other tracks you make.

It's perfection - not just for chilled trip hop or electronica but is also ideal for chillax, ambient and even soundtracks.

You get NINE folders in the WAV collection: acoustic guitar, bass, drums, electric guitar, live break loops, perc loops, synth bass, synths and vox. 

Wowee....my personal faves are the acoustic guitar loops which are really tuneful plus the synth loops..er..and the synth bass loops and..what am I prattling on about? EVERYTHING IS ACE!!

Keys are C#m and Fm and the sounds move at 88bpm and 112bpm and it's all on Loopcloud as well if you are a subscriber.

For the tech-heads among you: 'By processing the included drum sounds through a Sherman Filter Bank, a driven and well-rounded sound was achieved, providing punchy beats that will effortlessly cut through the mix. The guitars were run through a Sans Amp pedal and a Boss SP-303 with vinyl simulation on for a clear, full and driven sound. Authentic tape wobble was achieved by running the synths through a cassette desk, and the gorgeous foley inside was recorded near the coastline of Whitby, North Yorkshire.'

Lay your lucky mitts on 51 synth loops, 48 electric guitar loops, 47 drum loops, 41 electric guitar loops, 41 synth bass loops, 33 acoustic guitar loops, 23 vocal loops, 22 percussion loops and 20 live break loops. One-shots are 259 drum & perc hits, 61 foley hits, 50 synth bass hits, 50 synth hits, 30 risers, 28 FX, 5 bass multis, 4 synth multis and 1 piano multi. Also included are 326 Rex2 files, 167 soft sampler patches (for Halion, NNXT, EXS24, SFZ and Konakt), 72 Midi files and 10 Serum presets.

Blimey, you are in for a real treat so zap the link to hear for yourself this genuine 'Ten out of Ten' piece of pure pleasure.

TOP TECHNO FROM ANNA V

Anna V. Techno Intelligence - Loopmasters - PC/Mac - Ableton Live 9.7.5 £26.95/Apple Loops £26.95/Bass Wav Loops £4.95/Drum + Perc Wav Lps £9.95/Music Wav Loops £9.95/One Shots + Patches £7.95/Reason 5+ Refill £26.95/ZIP (main) £26.95.

A really welcome part of Loopmasters own-label is that they are NEVER backward in coming forward with something different and this tekkie collection is just that.

Anna V presents some genuinely 'out there' techno sounds which really do add something extra to the genre.

And, let Loopmasters fill you in re this skilled female musician: 'The Florence, Italy-born artist ANNA V. has spent quite literally her entire life dedicated to music. The anomalous fusion of elements she’s come to be recognised by are characterised by lurching synths, brain-rattling kicks, and rolling grooves, down to the most minuscule detail. 

'Her commitment to precisionism and passion for hardware production has landed her on legendary labels such as Suara, Elevate, Mood Records, Respekt and more. However, Anna’s own label, VOLTAGE, is no stranger to success, either. As one of the most rapidly rising techno labels in the world, its releases are consistently on the top charts and feature some of the most well-respected artists on the circuit. Having played at some of the globe’s most illustrious venues, including Melkweg, Egg London, Steam Athens, and more, it’s clear that ANNA V is riding a wave of success right now that will only continue to grow.'

So you know your are in good hands yet again thanks to Loopmasters.

You get plenty to play with 814 MB of 24-bit content. There are 53 synth loops, 34 drum loops, 28 bass loops, 22 hat loops, 21 percussion loops, 17 kick loops, 4 atmosphere loops, 2 pad loops and 1 drone loop. One-shots included are 37 drum hits, 16 bass hits, 13 atmospheres, 11 FX and 5 drones. You’ll also find 182 Rex2 Files and 49 Soft Sampler Patches for Kontakt, SFZ, NNXT and EXS24.

The tempo ranges from 125 up to 132bpm and again you have a very wide range of keys from the likes of A# and Cb to D and F with lots in between.

This definitely takes you to the darker realms of this genre - check out the synths - which makes a pleasant change and easily fires up your imagination and creative skills.

And of course Anna V is another great addition to the award-winning (and ever growing) Loopcloud software too.

Check out the links and add Anna V to your techno library without hesitation.

YET MORE TOP VOX

Essential Pop Vocals Vol 2 - PC/Mac - ACIDized WAV/Apple Loops/AIFF Files/REX2 Loops/Ableton Live 8.1.3 Pack/Reason ReFill - £29.95.

I've always said it, and will never tire of saying it, but you can NEVER have enough vocals in your collection so it's genuinely pleasing to see a second outing in Producer Loops' pop vox series - all pleasingly performed by a female singer...

You get five kits all rolling along smoothly at 115bpm and kit keys are Am, C, Fm and two in Bm.

Each kit breaks down into two sub-folders so you get kit stems, one-shots AND the added bonus of lyric sheets for the vox as well.

All the kits give you bass, synths and drums plus the vox so everything is ideal for adding your other musical elements to each track to create something unique.

Each to their own of course but I always prefer the wet versions of the vox simply because the backing is so well-crafted and saves you faffing about adding flanger, reverb, delay...whatever.

Yes, another great Producer Loops pack indeed, so get cracking, hit the link below, listen to the streaming audio and then buy today!

It's always great when an eagerly-awaited follow-up from the Anthology label hits the Producer Loops shelves and this is yet another ginormous 'pat on the back' for soundtrack composer Gregor Theelen as he delivers a massive FOUR GIGS of superb sounds.

Yes, these music maestros have done it again and the full credits are:

• Gregor Theelen - Accordion, piano, guitars, bass, dulcimers and harp
• Michiel Klep - Violinist from the North Netherlands Symphony Orchestra
• John van der Lugt - Engineer

If you have the first stunner then this second foray into all things 'new age, world and folk' is the icing on the cake with lots of really tuneful sounds to keep your DAW happy for years to come.

The massive four kits - with wet and dry loops - give you plenty of scope for soundtracks, ambient, chill - entirely up to you. Everything is a pleasure to use and will certainly fire up your imagination.

Tempo ranges from 110 to 120bpm and kit keys are Dm, C, E and two in Am.

Words alone cannot do this collection justice because the proof of the pudding are the sounds themselves, so hit the link below to hear the audio demos and you'll be blown away.

HARMONIOUS HOUSE

Essential Future House Vol 4 - PC/Mac - ACIDized WAV/Apple Loops/AIFF Files/REX2 Loops/MIDI/Reason Refill/Ableton Live - Royalty-free - £24.95.

Eagerly awaited, it's good to see Volume 4 rolling off the production line bringing you more of what you love - banging floor-fillers.

The tracks are nice and 'summery' with plenty of tunefulness - especially the synths - that will have your head bopping about no probs.

A superb thing is that there are no 'awkward' keys in this collection - no Dbms or A#m stuff, no sir, just good old and easy to use major keys - A, B and three in G.

One track rolls along at 127bpm while the others are at 128 so yet again plenty of scope for mixing and matching with other loops in your collection if you so wish - and of course 128bpm means you can mash the sounds into a techno beat as well. As always, the choice is yours and Producer Loops  makes production life so much easier, thank goodness.

The musical content is superb indeed and you get the likes of drops, bass, piano,verse leads, chords, atmos, arps, FX, nice and meaty kicks, plus all the percs you need - and one kit even gives you a 'vocoderish' vox chant in wet, dry and tailed versions.. 

Those of you who like to create your own drum loops have plenty of one-shots to help you on your way too and in the kits themselves you get a nice assortment of good old snare rolls.

If you're a house maestro then get your kicks with this scrumptious lot  - AND if you missed volumes one to three then you can pick those up as well. Check the links below for the full info.
