Classic Soul Grooves

The library contains over 7 GB of sample material and includes more than 2800 individual loops divided into sixteen folders. Each folder features multiple drum performances making it easy to create a full arrangement. The folders span tempos ranging between 60 and 147 BPM. With Elastik’s high-quality tempo-manipulation algorithms, you can quickly adjust the tempo to match the needs of your project.

Choice Of Pre-Mixed Or Multitracks

The loops are organized into two main folders. The Mixes folder provides 285 ready-to-use mixes that you can simply arrange within your project for instant results. In contrast, the Singletracks folder provides all the individual drums mics for each performance. These include both inside and outside kick drum mics, snare top and bottom, hihat, toms, ride, overheads and room mics. These multitrack versions therefore give you the ultimate control over your drum mix, allowing you to blend natural ambience from the overhead and room mics, and to fully customize the levels, EQ, dynamics or ambience processing used for the drum mix. In all cases, folder, subfolder and loop names have been carefully chosen to clearly indicate the playing style, making it easy to navigate the content to find what you need.

Full Of Character And Detail

Soul Beats covers a wide range of Soul styles including classic 60s Motown and Northern Soul beats, shuffles and rimshot-grooves. It makes a perfect companion addition to other Soul instrument packs and construction kit libraries such as Soul Club and Rare Grooves.

Multitrack Drum Loop Series

Designed to inspire, the Multitrack Drum Loop Series combines the workflow advantages of loops with the mix control offered by full, multitracked, drum recordings. Each genre-based title in the series delivers a massive collection of multitracked drum performances with all recordings made in Ueberschall’s own dedicated recording studios. Drum and cymbal combinations were selected to match each music style, while top-end preamps and microphones – including matched pairs where required – were used alongside analog compressors and limiters throughout the recording process. Special attention was paid to drum tuning. Some recordings feature distinctive and characterful high or low tuned shells and drum heads. Rare high-quality cymbals and an arsenal of different sticks and mallets were used.

All the drum performances within this series were played by the exceptional drummer Matthias ‘Maze’ Meusel. Maze’s credit list spans recording and live duties with chart-topping artists, TV and theatre work, and tours in over 30 countries world-wide. From smooth to uptempo jazz, drum&bass, latin, house, pop, ballads, lounge, downbeat, easy listening, soul, neo soul, R&B, funk, hiphop or big-band, Maze is a master of every genre. Whether it’s vintage grooves or complex modern beats, he likes to experiment with timings, accents, tunings and unusual sticks and mallets. The results are always unique and always inspiring.

The titles within the Multitrack Drum Loop Series offer loops that cannot be found anywhere else. The quality is always high and, thanks to Elastik’s advanced time-stretch algorithms, users can mix and match loops across different loop packs. The drums can also be detuned using Elastik’s powerful pitch-shifting functions. ReTune allows you to tune your drum performances to your song in key and scale if required. With the sophisticated sound design options provide by Elastik, these acoustic drums can also be transformed to suit electronic styles, while always retaining the detailed expression provided by a world-class drummer.
