The Loop Loft has announced the release of their latest Ableton Live Pack, Dry Drums Vol 1. This new loop and sample library features a collection of dry, fat and punchy drums tailored for Ableton with custom drum racks, sets, effects and more.
Ever since Ringo Starr placed tea towels on his drums with The Beatles, the punchy, fat sound of "dry drums" has been sought after for decades. Dry Drums Vol 1 Ableton Live Pack is designed to give a user this classic sound served up in six complete loop sessions and a variety of meticulously sampled drum kits, 100% customized for Ableton Live.
Recorded with an array of vintage mics, preamps and fully dampened heads, Dry Drums can be set up to easily sit in any mix, while providing the punch and clarity that is hard to achieve with "live" sounding loops and samples. Each session comes complete with a multitude of beats, fills and transitions, allowing a user to easily arrange their own custom drum track.
The Live Pack Includes:
Clips:
- Audio Clips - .alc files made from the audio loops ready to be used in Ableton projects with correct warp points and tempo information.
- MIDI Loop Clips - These are the MIDI loop files you provided pre-mapped to the drum kit made from the individual drum sample machine.
- Mono-Slice Clips - These are drum rack instruments made of individual slices of all drum loops in mono mode. This means each drum slice will cut off another drum slice and there are master macro controls for adjusting specific parameters.
- Poly-Slice Clips - These are drum rack instruments made of individual slices of all drum loops in poly mode. This means multiple drum slices can be layered on top of one another to create new patterns and grooves.
Grooves:
- This folder contains .agr files from each loop which can be used to quantize other MIDI and audio clips in Ableton using the groove pool.
Kits:
- Drum Samples - This folder contains a drum kit made of the individual drum samples from the sample pack. It also contains individual drum modules which can be used in other drum racks.
