Electronic Musician Review Of Live Lounge
Andre Touhey of CueSounds delivers an extensive library of downtempo funk, R & B, and soul-oriented loops, hits, effects, and sampler instruments in Live Lounge (approximately $46) from Loopmasters (loopmasters.com).
The 1GB collection starts with nearly 500 one-and two-chord loops in an assortment of major keys at tempos ranging from 90bpm to 115bpm. Those comprise individual instruments (brass, guitar, keys, strings, and synths), as well a full drum kits and single percussion instruments. Beyond that, you’ll find more than 400 hits including individual drum kit-pieces, pads, Rhodes chords, scratches, and effect. And when you’re having trouble getting the engine started, the Motifs folder of 52 short mixes is an excellent source of ideas.
The Main version of Live Lounge includes acidized WAV and REX2 files, along with sample patches for Kontakt, HAlion, Reason NNXT, and EXS24. Ableton Live Pack, Apple Loops, and reason ReFill versions are sold separately.
