The Blackbyrds – Walking In Rhythm (Multitrack & Protools Session)(12 Mono Tracks)(96k-24bit)
This is going to be a tricky one to pitch. Pardon the pun. There we go line 1.
The “purist” multitrack collector will really not like this pack much, because it is nowhere near what we call a “complete multitrack”. And you`ll hopefully be interested to know, there are quite a few of these types of packs around. Some have a multitude of missing parts, some will have the entire guitar and piano track mixed down (quietly) over a really loud electronic “beatbox” rendering it useless (more on that one soon), some will just have 8 tracks of silence. Sometimes, basically, it`s a bit “Pot Luck”.
But, it is all a matter of perspective. For now, it is what it is. Look on the brightside. Packs like this could be a rarity. There may be NO full version at all. So something is better than nothing? And to a remixer and not a collector, stuff like this is absolute gold. Put stems like these in the right hands and they find ALL the perfectly pitched,timed and best takes and make some loops.. and from those loops, they might make a top ten song, and everybody gets paid again. You just dont know (lol). I`d rather there were a 100 packs like this rather than a big fat zero of em tbh..
As to what is actually in this pack, for starters there`s a Protools session file in there so hopefully someone has already found the best loops..;) but musically, admittedly, it`s a let down. It seems there is only “some” instrumentation (no strings) 🙁 and percussion from the intro of the song only, and in 5 different takes. AKA: loop material.
But probably really really good loop material 😉
