Imagina Loops
The Italian Job
Getting the perfect drum sound just became a whole lot faster and easier.
When writing a song, quickly generating a rhythm track to play alongside can keep the creative process flowing. Most sounds can be quickly and adequately programmed using MIDI and good general instruments such as Waveform’s Collective, however drums are hard to program quickly due to the number of individual components. This is where loops can be a great tool to keep the process moving. Tracktion Corp and Imagina Productions joined forces to create a massive construction kit of drum loops that can be used for a wide range of musical genres.
Utilizing Waveform’s revolutionary ‘Track Loop’ format, this library can be quickly auditioned and then expanded back to original multi track content upon import – allowing for ultimate flexibility in the mix. Using the Imagina Loop series in your session is like having 3 of the world’s finest drum session players at your fingertips, pick and choose from a wide selection of styles each with numerous variations for song structure (intro, verse, chorus, fills, rolls etc). Getting the perfect drum sound just became a whole lot faster and easier, allowing you to focus on creativity, not programming.
