Ueberschall has announced Thrash Metal, a new Elastik Soundbank featuring 10 construction kits.

Hard, fast and precise riffs, thunderous double bass drums at extreme speed and a droning bass, lightning fast but accurate like a clockwork. Combining the energy of hardcore and punk with heavy metal‘s complex rhythms and almost artfully celebrated guitar riffs; thrash metal is the root of most current extreme metal-subgenres. This is unaltered aggressive metal sound with no unnecessary attachments.
To create this library, Ueberschall has opted for the typical band lineup with drums, bass and two guitars. All elements have been recorded live, using real valve driven amplifiers, an analogue console and a subsequent transition into the digital domain through high-end-converters. No admission for amp simulations here!

Thrash Metal contains ten construction kits with a tempo range between 150 and 186 BPM. Each kit is divided into up to seven subfolders, including intro, A-, B- and C-parts, break and outro. Use the complete mix to prelisten to the construction kits‘ ideas. Like in all Ueberschall products, all instruments of all parts are also prepared as single tracks, enabling you to select your favorites and create your personal mix.

The drums have been specially taken care of. Besides a professional mix down, there are single tracks of bass drum, snare top and bottom, snare trigger-signal (for drum replacement and doubling), hi-hat, cymbals, toms, overheads and room microphones. In addition, the library offers tracks of the bass guitar and at least two guitars.

Whenever real hard hitting tracks are demanded, Ueberschall‘s Thrash Metal is your solution. Music productions, target group specific advertisements, movie trailers, games or just for headbanging – this is the library to produce thrash metal in your studio.

The soundbank is available to purchase for 49 EUR.

Ueberschall has launched Rare Grooves Vol. 1 Live Session, a new Elastik sound bank.

The wild, wild seventies – experiments in all areas and of course in music! This decade has stretched the borders of technology and expanded the sounds and styles in a wide range. It is not without a cause, this decade has been sampled most by producers and DJs. Rare Grooves exactly offers this feeling but on a legal base.

Rare Grooves brings the time and the feel of magnetic tape recordings into your DAW. Due to financial and technical limits of smaller studios of that era, sound experiments were a crucial part when finding one‘s personal sound. Among the favored stylistic devices were tape saturation up to the VU-meter‘s limits, lurching tape-delays, unusual reverbs, amplifier feedback an of course a good portion of overdrive – real garage sound.

Rare Grooves focuses on the early era of Funk where groovy soul-beats and energy-charged rock-elements still had an impact on this genre. This makes this library the perfect choice for hip-hop, breakbeat, crossover- and dance-tracks; be it for music production, mix tapes, soundtracks or advertisements.

Rare Grooves consists of 10 construction kits with a total of 734 loops. The kits cover a tempo range from 78 to 122 BPM. Kits 1 to 9 include intro, parts A and B, break and outro. Construction kit 10 contains 9 tracks of different classic breaks designed to be used in all other kits.
All instruments are available on single tracks with that appropriate raw sound, allowing you to use grooves as a whole or integrate single instruments into your own tracks.

The sound library costs 99 EUR. Elastik Player 2 is included (VST/AU/RTAS/Standalone).

Guitar Ballads brings you professional and soulfully played song starters and ideas, pre-arranged, allowing you to produce your own chart-ready ballads.

Acoustic and clean electric guitars are the perfect match for commercial pop ballads. Here, we built ten characterful song layouts based around finest guitar sounds. In addition, Guitar Ballads also offers warm overdriven sounds for that rock feeling in ballads and wah-pedal-licks to introduce a touch of black music. Summarized, this library is focused on the slow, emotional side of music but still offers stylistic variety. All tracks have been performed by experienced studio musicians using only first-class-gear. This allows fitting the loops and riffs into your song production easily and without any in-depth sound-engineering skills.

Ueberschall has announced the release of Synthlines, a collection of bass and lead lines for the Elastik Player.

The Elastik library Synthlines comes with over 1000 bass and lead phrases suiting most modern music styles. It was heavily influenced by genres such as RnB, Soul, Funk, House, Pop, Acid Jazz and Downbeat.

All patterns were played on analogue classics like Minimoog or Studio Electronics and recorded without additional EQ or mastering tools. The sound is timeless and all the samples can be mixed and matched with each other to achieve a greater range of variations. All phrases were played by experienced studio musicians with no midi usage or quantization, keeping the groove and essence as natural as possible.

Not only were all phrases recorded with three different sounds but each phrase also features two slightly different parameter settings on its respective stereo channels, making it possible to modify the sound even more: By adjusting the pan on a mono channel you can morph between the two variations of a phrase to alter it to your demands. This makes Synthlines a perfect match for when you need a fat bassline or a cool lead for your production. Thanks to the Elastik engine, the key, tempo, pitch, or formant of whole melodies or single notes can be manipulated to the extreme, providing a huge playground for sound-fanatics.

The sample library is available to purchase for 99 EUR.

Ueberschall has announced the release of Low Tuned Strings, a new Elastik soundbank.

This special library offers loops and sounds recorded from unusually low tuned stringed instruments. Sound sources were acoustic and electric guitars, electric basses as well as a double bass. Grant your production something unique by adding these extraordinarily sounding loops and single sounds. The instruments‘ strings have been detuned to up to more than an octave below their common tuning, resulting in interesting sound structures. These strings rattle and vibrate while the booming double bass licks have moved to the deepest basement of frequencies.

Use Low Tuned Strings to place uncommon emphases in music productions and dubbing. The capabilities are immense: use the sounds as source material for installations, experimental music, atonal journeys through sound, suspense-packed effects in film, television and games production or as atmospheric elements in various music genres. All samples are available in two versions: dry and processed with versatile effects. The unaltered samples enable using the uncommon sound sources in new contexts over and over.
The library is categorized into melodies, licks and phrases, single notes, bowed, slides, breaks and harmonies.

Low Tuned Strings convinces by its individual sound aesthetic, produced by loose, wobbling strings, near the border to tonality and stable tuning. This library is a real enrichment to musicians, producers and sound designers that enjoy experimenting.

The sample library is available to purchase for 49 EUR.

Ueberschall has announced the release of Chart Hits, a new sound library for the Elastik 2 Player.

Straight into and up the charts. Is music more than just fun for you? Do you want to address big audiences? Do you look for airplay, video-rotation and commercial success? Then it is time to enter the charts with your track!

Pop is the biggest intersection in music. It reaches large audiences by radio- and television broadcast, clubs and concerts. This allows earning quite a bit of money but also means working in a competitive market. To hold your ground, more than just a good song idea is needed to remain in the charts. Your productions need to be top notch and pick up the latest trends. This is where Ueberschall‘s Chart Hits library comes in. Pop-oriented construction kits integrate modern elements like Trance- synthlines, R’n’B-hooks as well as House-beats and acoustic guitar licks. Fat synth sounds and punchy drums set the base for catchy melodies and harmonic structures that paint the full picture of song. This library puts the right sound-set for your chart track into your hands. The rest is up to your and your A&R manager.

Chart Hits offers 10 extensive construction kits including a total of 510 loops. Just like in recent US major productions, Euro-sounds are mixed with elements of black music to melt into real pop-music-anthems. These sounds create a dense grooving backing-track that, unlike instrumental club music, will leave enough space to fit vocals and lead instruments.

The sound library is available to purchase for 49 EUR.
