Guitar Ballads

Acoustic and clean electric guitars are the perfect match for commercial pop ballads. Here, we built ten characterful song layouts based around finest guitar sounds. In addition, Guitar Ballads also offers warm overdriven sounds for that rock feeling in ballads and wah-pedal-licks to introduce a touch of black music. Summarized, this library is focused on the slow, emotional side of music but still offers stylistic variety. All tracks have been performed by experienced studio musicians using only first-class-gear. This allows fitting the loops and riffs into your song production easily and without any in-depth sound-engineering skills.


Content

Guitar Ballads consists of ten extensive construction kits containing a total of 562 loops of instrument licks, riffs and drums. Each construction kit is a complete arranged song with a main theme and some added variations.


Structure

The library is clearly structured for target-oriented work. There are subfolders for:

• Intro/outro: intro and outro parts of a song
• Verse: the main theme of the songs‘ verses
• Pre-Chorus: parts to bridge verse and refrain
• Chorus: the main themes for the refrains
• C-part: alternate versions of the refrains to create more variety

For all song parts, individual instrument tracks are available allowing the song to be mixed to your personal vision and ideal integration of your own additional tracks. The drums offer separate tracks for bass drum, snare, hi-hat, cymbals, shaker and tambourine as well as a professionally completed mix for fast use.

Besides the central acoustic and electric guitars being used, Guitar Ballads also contains recordings of electric bass guitars, organs, synthesizer pads, strings as well as electric and acoustic pianos. All sounds have been carefully optimized sonically using high quality studio tools and supplemented by effects to create a matching atmosphere.  

Guitar Ballads is an equally professional and emotional library suited for music productions as well as for scoring movies and television and advertising clips. Its clear structure ensures a fluent workflow, perfect for productions with a tight schedule.
