Beatportal reports the acquisition of Loops & Samples download store Sounds/To/Sample by Beatport last month.
Here's some more information from Beatportal:
Sounds/To/Sample launched in 2007 as a pioneer in the sample download market, and more than 100,000 transactions later, the site has become the ultimate resource for creative architects of music, offering a list of labels that ranges from Sample Magic to Sony. Sounds/To/Sample’s current library includes half a million samples created by a host of world-renowed producers, spanning house, techno, trance, soul, hip-hop, funk, rock, pop, and many more.
Now, Beatport and Sounds/To/Sample are launching a brand new product line: Element Packs. These are cutting-edge, copyright-free drum loops and musical phrases created by the world’s leading producers. Each pack consists of 10 loop elements presented as 24-bit WAVs assured to inspire and add spice to productions. All loops are 100% royalty free, compatible with your audio software of choice at a bargain-rate price.
So far, the series includes 22 different packs ranging from deep house to electro house, and from hair-raising FX to Afro-Latin drum grooves, suitable to use (and abuse!) in production and DJing alike. They’re a great, economical way to get started using S/T/S’s amazing loop and sample libraries.
