Sample Magic Indie-Dance
FORMAT: Acid, Wav, Apple loops, Rex2
Rolling down the aisle at Sample Magic's headquarters is the new genre specific sample library called Indie-Dance. Think of this pack as a mashup of old and new sounds. The combination of lively disco sounds and up-to-date electro grooves at the other extreme will give your tracks the smashing attitude they need. This 560 MB sample pack has the sounds to create brilliant and electrifying bouncy, old school dance tracks. Indie-Dance includes loops and samples such as, guitars, synths, bass, beats, drum hits, leads, vox cut, chord shots and FX. And the 374 liveinfused drum hits are a nice inclusion. All loops are labeled and separated into folders of 122, 125 and 127 BPM for ease of use. What's great about the library is that it has total flexibility. One day you could be adding dirty, filthy guitar loops or rockin' bass loops into your more aggressive tracks. The next day, you might be composing a techno rave track with the synth, FX and vocal loops included. Indie-Dance is a tool with unlimited use - only your imagination need be added.
