January 21 - 4:20pm EST   Smart Loops has released its SL MultiTracks Volume 5, 6 and 7 Drum Loop libraries -- which were previously only available in ACID WAV and Apple Loops formats -- in REX 2 format for compatibility with more Mac and PC software samplers. SL MultiTracks allow computer-based musicians to discretely control volumes, EQ, and FX on individual drum and cymbal loops. Each MultiTrack groove and one-shot is provided both as a set of multitrack drum and cymbal loops as well as a complete mix loop. SL MultiTracks are priced at $15 per library, and are available as volumes for $30 each (three libraries per volume) or a complete bundle for $180. [full story]
