Introducing the new Vocal Allstar Series, a groundbreaking new series from Prime Loops, which will challenge the concept of how music is made and change the sound library industry forever. For the first time you can buy a 100% royalty free song complete with vocals which can be re-worked and released as your own.
Each Vocal Allstar kit comes with one fully arranged and pre-mastered mix of a song including vocal hooks. Each part of the song also comes as remixable loops, sounds and stems (e.g. separated synth, bass, drum beats, orchestra tracks and more), providing endless creativity and inspiration. Whether you are a music producer, rapper, MC or vocalist you can simply use the pre-made, full-length song with chorus and add you own vocal verses or chose to get creative and start chopping up and remixing sounds to create your own unique track.
