Loopmasters have announced the availability of two free taster packs which showcase a selection of royalty free audio samples and loops from commercial sound libraries released by Monster Sounds and Niche Audio labels.
The Niche Audio taster pack is released as part of a 30% discount offer on all Niche Audio products, which will end on September 24th. The freebie download contains 174 one shot samples in 24-bit WAV format, which is quite generous for a taster pack. There’s plenty of cool sounds inside the pack, including some meaty Roland TR-909 drum machine samples (get more of those in our Cassette 909 free sample pack!), some great sounding dubstep samples and loads of other interesting stuff. The pack also includes Ableton Live and NI Maschine 2.0 project templates. You should definitely grab this one, considering all the quality stuff inside.
The Monster Sounds sampler was released during a promotion which has ended on September 17th (sorry for not announcing this one earlier!), however the taster pack can still be downloaded for free from the Loopmasters website. The taster pack contains a selection of sounds from five different releases, with 41 audio samples in total. There’s quite a bit of variety to the included sounds, as the taster pack contains a set of hip hop acapellas, along with EDM loops and some funky stabs.
Both packs require the user to be logged in to their Loopmasters user account prior to downloading. To grab these sounds for free, you should add both taster packs to your shopping cart and log in to your user account, after which you can proceed with the free checkout process. I was a bit surprised when I noticed that the only option during checkout is to click a button labeled “Pay With A Credit Card”, however once you click that you’ll get the download links and there’s no need to input any additional data.
IMPORTANT: I’ve contacted Loopmasters in order to check whether or not the samples from the taster packs can be used in commercial recordings. Their support team has confirmed that all of these samples are 100% royalty free! Enjoy the freebie samples (and many thanks to Loopmasters for the free sounds)!
