Univers-Sons/Ultimate Sound Bank introduces Hip Hop Planet.

Hip Hop Planet from the brand new EKOLOOPZ series isn't another Urban sample library... Why ?

• First of all : sound quality

This library was produced the same way the best Hip Hop and R'n B tunes are. From creating and mixing the construction kits - with a unique way to analyse and process the sounds -, to the mastering, done at Sterling Sounds in New York by top mastering engineer Chris Gerhinger. The result is that punchy sound you won't find anywhere else. All recorded at 24-bit 96 kHz resolution.

• Unprecedent flexibility, compatible with MOTU BPM

Even if the library can be used right away with the included UVI Workstation, it also contains datas for the new MOTU BPM format, making the library complet ...

This compressor offers soft and smooth compression in most applications, however it may slightly color the sound with its tube emulation on transients when heavily driven internally by high compression values. ...
