My loops packs on Loopmasters have been pretty popular (Volume 1 and Disco Strings) so here comes another; Realstrings Volume 2: cinematic loops.
I’ve taken, for inspiration, the music of artists like Hybrid, Cinematic Orchestra and Bjork and the media scores that capture a similar feel. There are 126 loops (mostly 4 bars) at tempos from 110 – 140; they each offer a distinctive character as individual loops, but they are also organised into 12 construction kits. This is the 1st time I’ve tried this and the feedback from writers and producers is already very positive, so the next pack will do a similar thing but slower tempos and darker moods.
This short video demonstrates some of the loops and how they might work as construction kits.
Update: 24th January 2011
The loops pack got a couple of reviews; a very thorough going-over by rekkerd.org and this, from Future Music.
