Indie Rock

Indie Rock is an unique library for Indie, Brit Pop, Rock as well as other surrounding genres. Each of the 18 Construction Kits delivers a well composed track (including an A and B part, break and intro & outro), professionally recorded drum sets, bass lines, guitar takes and synths. Indie Rock serves as a perfect band in a box for inspiring ideas. Exceptional for song layouts, movie scoring, jingles & advertisements, creative media ventures and countless additional musical applications.

Content

A closer look into the 3.8 GB package reveals more than 1500 loops and samples of supremely engineered and recorded instruments. The drum set was pedantically mic‘d and is available in different single lines: bass drum, snare top, snare bottom, high-hat, ride, tom, overhead and room. Thanks to the different parts and variations it is possible to create completely new drum arrangements within seconds. You can of course easily combine the snare line from one track with a bass drum line from another.

Each line even has the typical overlaps of the other instruments to produce the authentic drum sound.
Furthermore each kit contains a bass line, different guitar licks and some even come with synths licks. All instruments were professionally recorded and are not over-compressed to keep the natural and authentic sound. In this way you can process all samples the way you like and integrate them perfectly into your project.

Structure

Each Indie Rock construction kit contains up to 4 sub-kits:

A-Part - Includes the main theme, with its sounds and phrases.
B-Part - Provides an alternative track and phrases which gives you more flexibility for your entire track.
Intro/Outro Kit - Here you can find the matching intro/outro track for the overall kit, along with its individual parts.
Break - The perfect break for your track.

The given structure and features like labeled key signature and tempo information provide a very easy way of arranging a whole song. Additionally the Elastik Player offers you a lot of DSP functions to adjust the phrases to further fit your productions / creations. Thanks to Elastik you can mix this library with all other libraries and genres available.

Indie Rock was produced by studio and live guitar player Kai Reuter who also produced the popular ueberschall library „Nu Metal“.

In addition to the pitch and tempo manipulation, Elastik’s central Loopeye is a detailed loop-editing tool. A large number of parameters can be adjusted, including slice-based pitch-shifting, volume and pan, reverse, formant, filter and resample. Elastik even includes a random sound replacement function called INSPIRE: one click on the Inspire button and Elastik will select an alternative loop, providing just that bit of additional inspiration when you need it. All this can be done on the fly and without leaving the Elastik environment. You can define which soundbanks will be used in the Inspire tool with the new Inspire browser.

REVIEW

In particular, if songlayouts or movie and advertising music have to be made in a short time, this inspiring collection is recommended.

Indie Rock is top notch 5 Stars

As with other titles in Ueberschall’s growing catalogue of Elastik-based collections, this is essentially a loop?based library organised into a number of construction kits, all presented via the small (but very efficient) Elastik front?end. In terms of pure numbers, the library comes in at just under 4GB, with 1500 loops divided between 18 construction kits. The loops themselves are dominated by drums, guitars and bass, but the occasional keyboard loop is also thrown in.
Two very welcome features of the construction kits are worth noting. First, while pre?mixed stereo drum loops are provided, each drum loop is also presented as a series of multitrack loops (snare, kick, hi?hats and overheads, for example). These mean that you can remix the kit to your own taste or drop some elements out for added variety, although do note that the recordings are from a multi?miked drum kit, so there is spill between them. The second feature is the inclusion of an excellent range of song sub?sections in each construction kit — intro, verse, chorus, bridge (or breakdown section) and outro — with the last of these featuring a proper ending. Many construction?kit libraries don’t provide this kind of detail, so top marks to producer Kai Reuter!
Indie rock is a pretty broad field but the material here got me thinking of a number of fairly mainstream bands. For example, the kits titled ‘Bittersweet’ and ‘Lost You’ showed a touch of Kaiser Chiefs?style humour, while ‘Backtrack’ could have come from a Feeder album. There were other nods towards My Chemical Romance (in their more pop?orientated moments), Fall Out Boy, Lostprophets, Mexicolas, Paramore and even a hint of rock?flavoured Blink 182 pop/punk (the ‘Run’ kit, for example). In terms of recording quality and sound, the library is also spot-on. The drums and guitars are particularly impressive, the guitar sounds ranging from grungy to glassy, and the playing is really good. Most welcome are the choices available in each song sub?section. The same basic chord pattern or riff is often supplied with different guitar tones or performances, so you can build plenty of variety into your compositions.
If anything, this collection makes things too easy! Building a very credible backing track from any one of the construction kits is a complete breeze, simply because everything is provided to make this as straightforward as possible. For instrumental composers requiring 60 seconds of ‘indie rock’ to meet a tight deadline, this is ideal. However, stick some suitable vocal talent over the top of one of these construction kits and you could easily create a Kerrang?friendly indie track. Within the obvious limitations of any construction?kit?style sample library, Indie Rock is top notch. John Walden
