80s TIME TRAVEL

 

FLASHBACK - 80s DREAM POP VOLUME 2 - LOOPMASTERS -

 ZIP (MAIN) £29.95

It's so true! Yes, the good old 80s will NEVER die.

The days of synthwave will carry on long after all of us today have snuffed it. The only hope is that we can all listen to it forever if they have it 'up there in heaven! 😁

Anyway, enough tomfoolery. This Loopmasters collection of course follows on from their highly-acclaimed first volume and this outing is of the same top quality as you'd expect from this label and Loopmasters say: "This pack is filled to the brim with everything you need to create dreamy, synth-laden soundscapes."

True indeed and everything is at the sedate pace of 80 to 90bpm giving you so much flexibility for creating highly-enjoyable sound textures from chillout to even using the samples in good old 90bpm hip-hop if that floats your boat.

Yet again, as it is a Loopmasters pack, expect it to be full to the brim and it is with...

• 959 MB of 24Bit 44.1KHZ wavs
• 50 Synth Loops
• 35 Guitar Loops
• 28 Drum Loops
• 24 Drum Variation Loops
• 24 Drum Fill Loops

• 2 Instrument Loops
• 1 Snare Loop
• 106 Instrument Hits
• 59 Drum Hits
• 27 Fx
• 13 Vocals
• 7 Perc Hits

Everything, as per usual from Loopmasters is key and tempo labelled and the loops are in Am, B, D#m, Dm, D, Em, F, F#m, Fm, G, G# so you can see what great scope you have for mix and matching with other keys from the collections of sounds you already have.

All the sounds are first-class with my personal faves being the bass, synths and the great collection of drums.

Roll-on Volume Three 👍👍👍

FLASHBACK 80s DREAM POP VOL 2

VIBRANT VOX

 

VIBRANT HOUSE VOCAL PACK - VOCAL ROADS - ZIP MAIN £23.95

It really does seem a long time ago now where often you'd have a fruitless search for packs of vocals.

If you were very lucky you'd come across some packs that contained hooks or chops but there was definitely a dearth of proper vox.

Thank goodness that as the years have marched on in the production of loops and samples that there are so many vox packs out there that you often feel like a kid in a sweetshop.

Vocal Roads is a label that has been turning out 'just what you need' for a good few years now and thankfully will carry on ad infinitum.

This pack is another feminine vox goodie and the blurb is so correct when it states: "This pack brings meaningful power to your music through emotively captivating lyricism." 

You also get music loops AND lyrics plus....15 Drum Loops, 39 Drum One-Shots and 47 Music Loops.

The vox kits (with dry and wet versions) are:

• Be With You - Em - 124bpm
• Bring Me To Life - D#m - 125bpm
• Breathe - Gm - 125bpm
• Love - Em - 126bpm
• Feel - D#m - 127bpm.

And you also get a folder of lyrics in each song kit.

What more can you want?

SIGH FOR PSYTRANCE

 

PSYTRANCE HYPNOSIS - SINGOMAKERS - ZIP (MAIN) £34.95

Yet another label that gives you plenty of bang for your buck is Singomakers and this 'rammed' psytrance pack is no exception.

It's also great to get a psytrance pack which contains vox as well so you can really make an impression on your listening public. This pack gives you 30 such loops in both wet and dry versions and they are 'non-specific' so you don't have to faff about with key signatures.

I remember just a few short years ago when, for some unexplained reason, the trance genre rolled back the bpm a few beats BUT BUT BUT it's good to see ye olde psytrance is back to normal and everything rattles along at good old 145bpm.

The synth content is stupendous as well with no fewer than 167 of them which includes acid, drones, pads, FM, plucks, Psy Leads and fills.

Keys are in C#, D#, E and F# so you have plenty of scope.

MIDI users are catered for as well so dust off your keyboards!

All in all you lay your hands on:

• 2 GB24-Bit Samples
• 167 Synth Loops (Acid, Drones, Pads, FM, Plucks, Psy Leads, Fills)
• 123 Drum Loops (Full, Top, Hi-Hat, Snare)
• 62 Bass Loops
• 192 Total One-Shots
• 72 Bass One-Shots
• 13 Crash One-Shots
• 48 Hi-Hat One-Shots
• 36 Kick One-Shots
