TheLoopBox.com Launches With Downloadable Loop And Sample Packs
March 20, 2006
TheLoopBox.com is a new website offering loop and sample packs as instant downloads. All the audio files are 24-bit wav files, and they come bundled with program files for some of the most popular soft samplers around: Steinberg's HALion, NI Kontakt, Apple/Emagic EXS24 and Propellerhead's NN.XT (Part of the "Reason" software).
There are some free downloads available as well. These so-called "GiftBoxes" are fully functional demos of the regular products, and also includes program files. If you sign up for the free newsletter there will be even more FREE loops and samples coming your way. And special offers only for subscribers.
Each "Box" is a $1.99 purchase, but a very beneficial pricing structure offers discounts from 10% - 30% as soon as 5 or more products are being purchased. Ultimately the 30% discount results in a price of just $1.40 a piece.
Product Categories:
LoopBoxes:
Construction Kits typically containing 4-8 different instrument loops. Most LoopBoxes are 4 or 8 bars in length.
BeatBoxes:
Strictly Beats! Each loop pack contains 16-20 loops.
MysteryBoxes:
Soundscapes & Atmospheres. Each box contains 3-4 long samples.
GrotBoxes:
Lo-Fi Only! All kind of trashy loops. Drums, basses, guitars, Rhodes etc. 16-20 loops.
Mix'n MatchBoxes:
Construction Kits. But based on a different concept than the LoopBoxes. Here there are typically 3-4 instrument parts. Each part comes with 4-8 shorter loops (1-2 bars). The idea is that any given loops should match any other loop from that same box.
ToolBoxes:
Well, tools! The ToolBoxes available so far are the "GrooveTool 1" variations. 4 drumloops and 12 bass loops per box. The drum and bass loops fit, of course, and the bass comes in all 12 keys, so you can build pretty much anything within that genre. The tools comes in 75 - 105 bpm with 5 bpm intervals.
MailBoxes:
Ever wanted to subscribe to loops? Well, here's the chance. These subscription products offer a high value for money rate, and the concept is simple. You can sign up for a loop a month, a loop a week, a loop a day for 1 year or a loop a day for 2 years. That's it!
BundleBoxes:
Even though there is a regular discount offer for volume buyers, there are always a handful of special bundles available. The ultimate bundle, the BIGBOX, contains all 79 loop packs that were available at launch. Almost 1,000 loops (1GB of uncompressed 24-bit audio files) for $39.99.
