iZotope has released a new, free set of Apple Loops, made by Goldbaby, called XRB Free. XRB Free includes 16 brand-new iDrum Kits not included in the full XRB pack, plus each kit features preset beats, 74 in all. All 74 beats are rendered as Apple Loops, so you don't have to have iDrum to enjoy XRB.

The full version of XRB has also been re-released, consisting of 256 iDrum Kits with a total of 2,057 grooves and 2,007 drum and effect samples. For this re-release, iZotope has added all 2,057 beats as Apple Loops.

Until July 23rd, 2006, XRB can be purchased for $29; the regular price is $49.
