Soundtrack Loops Jazzy Trip HopSoundtrack Loops presents Jazzy Trip Hop. Belibat strikes again with Jazzy Trip Hop, a three-kit set of loops and samples with the built-in Belibat magic—the natural ability to take the best sounds of an era and reinvent them to roll with the times. Here, Belibat turns his tight studio focus and unwavering attention to detail loose on the archetypal mid-90s trip hop sound. Minimal jazz voicings that lean toward the exotic, hints of dub, tableisms, echoing textures—they're all here. The cool thing is that all the bases are covered. You'll find tight, deeply saturated mid-tempo grooves, thick basses, all the right synth textures—everything you need to make complete tracks, and the way these loops are produced, you can stack just a few and get full-flavored analog goodness effortlessly. While the classic trip hop period authenticity is obvious and spot-on, shades of the modern shine through (the lightest of shades, actually), bringing to mind the distant happy haze of vaporwave and it's quasi-nostalgic, slowed-down pace that today is seeping into contemporary pop music all over the place. Belibat demonstrates here in 105 loops and 28 one shots that these worlds work ideally together. Jazzy Trip Hop is an update on the art form, and this is perfect because trip hop is a timeless genre with roots that continue to flourish in both experimental and commercial music. As standard practice for all loops created by the Soundtrack Loops team, Key and BPM are tagged in both metadata and file names. Formats: ACIDized .WAV, Ableton Live .alp, and Apple Looped .AIFF. 48kHz 24-bit stereo files. Trippin'strumentals is available for purchase directly from the Soundtrack Loops website and from the KVR Marketplace for $20. ***Orders from the KVR Marketplace will be sent manually. Please allow up to 12 hours for delivery although they're typically sent within the hour. Read More

Plugin Alliance HUM Audio Devices LAAL When HUM Audio Devices placed a fully analog look ahead delay line into a discrete circuit of the highest quality modern analog components, they created something truly special: a limiter that delivers loudness without brickwall deadness. The LAAL is a limiter with life: no other hardware can preserve and enhance your micro dynamics like it can. Thanks to Brainworx's expertise, you can finally get this extraordinary sonic signature in the box. Intelligent look-ahead limiting LAAL stands for Look Ahead Analog Limiter. This is the detection circuit that makes its special sonic characteristics possible – a fully analog delay line (0.2 ms) 'looks ahead' with the dynamic transient function to respond intelligently to signal peaks before they occur. This results in responsive peak limiting without harshness or distortion. Achieve your RMS levels and loudness targets while preserving detail, air, and low-end punch. And use its smoother limiting curves and acres of headroom, to bring life to your mix. The fall of the lifeless brick wall Hum Audio Devices designed the LAAL to remain in the analog domain throughout the mastering process. All the magic happens in its unique and sophisticated detection and gain stage circuits. The limiter does not use any soft clipping or similar processes to artificially increase RMS levels. Whether you're mastering subtle acoustic music or slamming brick-wall levels in electronic or pop, it provides surgical precision, harmonic integrity, and stability. A plugin only Brainworx could create Brainworx has captured every aspect of this analog chain in the plugin. From the discreet signal pathway to its studio-grade transformers and ultra-precise detection circuitry. You can't just hear the difference LAAL makes, you can see it too. The peaks of the waveforms from audio passed through the LAAL limiter are notably smoother and more harmonically rich than what can be achieved with other limiter plugins. Expanded features As a Brainworx-made plugin, the LAAL Limiter comes with all the expanded digital-exclusive features you'd expect from the makers of the iconic bx_masterdesk series. This includes TX Drive control, M/S processing and so much more. Most interesting of all, the plugin version can compensate for the delay in processing time required for the delay circuit, meaning that Look Ahead processing is more immediate in-plugin than in the original hardware. Features Officially approved digital model of Analog Look Ahead circuit. Maximise stereo imaging with pre-limiter Stereo Width functionality. Preserve transients with Dynamic Transient mode. Variable release time (stepped, from 2ms to 100ms). Plugin only feature - Control the amount of color with the TX-Drive connected to the Transformer button. Detect Link L+R automatically limits the first signal that hits the threshold and applies it to the other channel in addition to the mix amount thereof. M/S Processing for total Mid/Side control. True Peak Limiting. Read More
