Every summer most of the major sample library producers treat their customers to a new House or Trance samples CD, which underlines the enduring strength of these particular musical styles. Electro House is a much sought after genre at present and Loopmasters teamed up with Andy Lee of Barcoda Recordings (www.myspace.com/barcodarecordings) to compile their latest collection, Electro House Producer.
As usual, you get a lot for your money on a Loopmasters CD and this one is packed with all of the contemporary sounds needed to produce your own Electro House tracks – drum loops, analogue bass lines and patches, synth loops, FX, and 150 single electro drum samples. In addition you get 100 vocal samples including a robotised set with spoken lines. In fact the only missing ingredient is a hit melody, which of course, is down to you.
Categorised according to tempo – 125, 127 and 130 bpm Electro House is a very well produced set, which has been in the making since late last year. It was time well spent and the end result is a wealth of up-to-the-minute useful material for House producers presented in Acidised Wav, Rex2, NNXT, Halion, Kontakt, and EXS-24 format. It’s also ready to use with Stylus RMX, Ableton Live and Cakewalk SFZ compatible samplers.
At the moment Electro House Producer is available as a download only but by the time you read this review the CD will probably be on sale, along with a second audio disc, for easy auditioning of sounds.
Verdict – Loopmasters sample CDs are always good value for money and Electro House Producer is up to their usual consistently high standard, crammed full of useful contemporary loops and samples.
