IK Multimedia and Sonic Reality ship DrummerTracks for AmpliTube

IK Multimedia and Sonic Reality recently introduced DrummerTracks - a new series of style-based full-length drum backing tracks performed by top studio drummers. Unlike loops, DrummerTracks are full song drum tracks, recorded in world-class studios by Sonic Reality, and designed for use as play-along tracks for the AmpliTube range of software and mobile apps.

DrummerTracks offer guitarists, bassists and other musicians a new way to play along with drum grooves. Unlike other play-along grooves, DrummerTracks have been produced to sound exactly like classic albums of yesterday and today, capturing the nuances of the performance and providing the real feel of playing with a live drummer. Each package was produced using the same "state of the art equipment" and sometimes even the original drummer and producer/engineer.

DrummerTracks are like playing along to the drum tracks extracted from your favorite albums. A wide variety of styles ranging from Classic Rock to Progressive Rock to Blues, Jazz, Funk, Soul, Country and more are available. Fills and variations for verses, choruses and/or challenging jam sections happen automatically - just like they would with a live drummer.

3 ways to use them: You can import DrummerTracks into the AmpliTube SpeedTrainer section in the standalone versions for Mac/Win; load them into the songs or recorder sections of AmpliTube for iPhone/iPod/iPad; or import them to a track in your preferred DAW sequencer. Use them for practicing, playing, jamming, composing or just having fun.

Registered users of AmpliTube for Mac/Win and AmpliTube Mobile products (currently AmpliTube for iPhone/iPod Touch and AmpliTube for iPad) will receive one Free DrummerTracks audio file in their IK User Area to experience the difference a full- length drum track can make on their playing and composing.
