Best Service Modern Pop As what the name suggests, Modern Pop is a sample library that is definitely intended for commercial and current pop music. Think Britney Spears, the Black Eyed Peas, Madonna, Christina Aguilera, and Keisha. This library serves as a comprehensive source of sounds for mainstream producers passionate about adding inspiration to their productions. The 2.2 GB of content is organized into 35 'song' construction kits, each which is comprised of a full mix file, basses, drums, synths, pianos, organs, guitars, effects, vocals, brass, and many more. Tempo ranges from 121-137 BPM with the loops recorded in different root keys. Aside from the construction kit folder, Modern Pop also ships with a bonus folder of 30 odd percussion grooves and 100 one-shots (hi-hats, percs, and special processed sounds) that can be combined with the other loops. Best Service stated that the samples "were all created with the most modern technology in a high quality studio setting", and it shows. Auditioning them imparts that new trendy sound which I really like. Overall, this library covers a lot of ground, not just for pop but electronic, lounge, new age, and experimental as well.
