Computer Music Review Of Premier Beats

 

This dual-DVD hip-hop library is clearly inspired by old-skool MPC jockeys such as DJ Premier and Pete Rock. The first disc contains just over 2GB of loops, including beats and instrumental sections. While this is certainly useful, the real value comes from the second disc’s REX2 loops and one-shot samples. These include tasteful and authentic-sounding soul strings, electric piano riffs, bass notes and individual drum sounds. Premier Beats stands out in a saturated market thanks to its wealth of quality content.
 
Rating: 9/10
