Reasonfreaks review DBL- 8/10
Downbeat and Leftfield is an extensive sound collection. You will find a host of sounds covering styles like HipHop, DownTempo, Ambient and more. The sound quality is nothing but staggering thruout the collection. You will find all types of sounds like loops (rx2, wav), drum hits, multi-samples (NN-XT) and one shot samples. Some of the drumgrooves are played live which gives a great feel to them. Others are programmed with great care. One thing i do find is that the drumloop collection could have been bigger. There are basically 22 main loops with some variations per loop. I would have liked to see less variations and more original loops, but what's there really is of a good quality and after all more isn't always better.
The loops come in wav and rx2 format plus you''ll find the individual drumhits used in the loops in their own folder for making even more variations to the loop or to simple mix the different drumhit kits with each other to come to totally new loops. Endless posibility's!
Also present on the CD are instrument and bass loops. The instrument loops include the well known vintage keyboards as well as pads, strings, woodwind (Sax and Flute) and vocoder loops. All very musical and of a high quality. The bass loops are groovy and mainly made with bass guitars with a few of them made with sythesizers. There's some really funky bass riffs in there which will definately inspire many of us.
A very complete collection with high quality sounds, you'll definately love this disc if you are into hiphop, dnb, downtempo, or triphop, and want something new and original to use in your music, so go and buy it!
