SL MultiTracks™ Volumes 2, 3 and 4 Now Available in REX2 Format
(Press Release | Posted 2007-07-27)
Smart Loops has released the SL MultiTracks Volume 2, 3 and 4 Drum Loop libraries in REX2 format for compatibility with even more Mac and PC software samplers and DAW software. Previously the loop collections were only available in ACID WAV and Apple Loops formats. With SL MultiTracks, computer-based musicians and producers can take complete control of the drum mix by discretely controlling volumes, EQ and FX on individual drum and cymbal loops (kick, snare, hats, overheads, and toms). Each MultiTrack groove and one-shot is provided in two ways: as a set of multitrack drum and cymbal loops, and as a complete stereo mix loop.
With SL MultiTracks Loop Libraries, musicians and producers can:
Adjust volume of individual drums and cymbals
Add separate EQ and FX to different drums
Solo individual drum tracks for precise mixing
Quickly build tracks with stereo mix loops, and then modify later with separate drum and cymbal loops
