Ueberschall

Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 Stars. This loop library covers a range of styles, from straight through to contemporary jazz, and is all recorded to the same high quality as their many other offerings, with dry and processed options available.

Rating: ***** 5/5 Stars. If your next musical project needs to create the authentic sound of an old‑school, late‑night jazz club, Ueberschall’s Jazz Works series might make a great place to start.

Rating: 5/5 Stars ***** If you are a budding or busy composer looking for sonic inspiration in this style, then Ueberschall's Synthetic Soundtracks titles may well be of interest.

**** Score = 4/5 stars. These 350 rhythmic stereo loops, at tempos between 40 and 180bpm, are designed to be layered behind your own drum programming to add greater depth and ambient interest.

**** 4/5. Da Nu Hiphop Era is a two-CD set (both audio) made up of 27 construction kits.

The latest release in the series is Twelve String Electric, which conjures the sound of late-’60s pop like almost no other instrument.

Ueberschall have built up an impressive series of titles based around their Elastik Player front-end. The bulk of these follow a construction-kit format offering collections of genre-specific music composition broken down into their constituent loops...

The libraries in this series forego the construction-kit approach of the genre–based Elastik collections and, instead, are built on a series of solo instrument phrases/licks that you can piece together to form a complete performance.

Sample libraries with virtual-instrument wrappers are nothing new, but Ueberschall's new Liquid Instruments have an extra twist — the front end is derived from Celemony's Melodyne, offering you complete freedom to change the pitch of the phrases in the library.
