'Reggae Fundamentals 2' is the continuation of Ueberschall's successful series that melts different hand-made reggae styles. Whether classic or current Roots Reggae, synth-based Dancehall or its forerunner, Rub-A-Dub, fresh-sounding modern Reggae, Caribbean grooves or effect-loaded Dub, this library mirrors the broad versatility of the Reggae genre.
Into the sun, onto the island and down to the beach. If it's not real, let it happen in your head. Reggae Fundamentals 2 is the perfect soundtrack to chill as if you were in the Caribbean.
The grooves and riddims of the pack have been performed live by experienced musicians with that special relaxed Caribbean feeling. The library is characterised by beats on the spot, rolling basslines, minimalistic guitar backings and embedded synth lines, combined in a clean, authentic production style by Ueberschall.
'Reggae Fundamentals 2' offers a huge package of song ideas, consisting of 25 Construction Kits. Each Kit offers up to six subfolders with a main theme and additional variations. It only takes a few actions to construct the first song layout. All instruments and drums of each part are available as optimised and pre-mixed single tracks.
This allows combining single elements with other Construction Kits of this and other libraries and to create your personal, preferred mix down.
The drum kits' components are also available as single tracks, with bass drum, snare, hi-hats, claps, cymbals, as well as congas, bongos and other percussions.
The instruments used are electric and synthesized basses, electric guitars, organs, synthesizers, piano, electric piano, strings, brass, pad sounds, as well as dub-specific effects.
'Reggae Fundamentals 2' brings real Jamaican feeling to your tracks. Be it for classic song production, crossovers with Pop or Hip Hop, advertisement trailers with a beach atmosphere, jingles or flexible loop material for DJ sets, these Construction Kits offer the simplest and best way to create convincing Reggae tracks within your DAW.
Elastik Features:
Ueberschall's Elastik player allows for a fast, creative and targeted workflow. Music productions benefit from high quality time-stretching and pitch-shifting algorithms provided by Zplane, as well as from Elastik's clearly arranged library browser.
Search across all loops of all installed libraries by attributes such as Category, Root Note or Original Tempo. Using the Elastik player allows producers to transpose all instrument loops of a Construction Kit effortlessly, change their tempo and use them in any other Kit.
Likewise, all drum tracks can be swapped and combined across all Construction Kits. With functions such as formant, resample, reverse and a multi-mode filter, the Elastik player also offers creative functions that can be controlled from your sequencer and change the sound of any loop completely.
