What formats are included?Updated a year ago

All of our libraries include both the Multi-Format and Kontakt editions with your purchase, and both editions contain identical song kits, performances, and instruments; and you can use the Multi-Format edition and work directly in your DAW of choice. You don't have to use Kontakt to use the Multi-Format edition of the library.


Multi-Format

The Multi-Format edition comes with WAV, Apple Loops, and Rex file types. The Multi-Format edition works with all DAWs and is compatible with your DAW of choice. 


Wav/Acid — WAV files are the industry standard and compatible with all of today's major sampling and looping software on the market including FL Studio, Ableton, Logic Pro X, Steinberg Cubase, Presonus Studio One, Cockos REAPER, Digidesign Pro Tools and many more. The Acidised Wave files contain additional metadata similar to the Apple Loops and Rex2 formats that allow for additional time-stretching, looping, and tempo functionality. Whilst they are likely to work in all software programs that support the .wav format, they may not display the looping and tempo information in some programs.


Apple Loops — Apple Loops are compatible with Logic Pro X, Garageband, Apple Logic Express, Soundtrack Pro, and more, and enable you to adjust and adapt to different tempos and keys automatically due to the encoded hit-points and other metadata contained alongside the audio.


Rex — Rex2 Loops compatible with Propellerhead Reason, PreSonus Studio One, Steinberg Cubase, Steinberg Nuendo, Cockos REAPER, Apple Logic, Digidesign Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Cakewalk Project5, Cakewalk Sonar, Image-Line FL Studio, MOTU Digital Performer, MOTU Mach 5 (software sampler), and Synapse Audio Orion Platinum, among others and are similar to contain metadata along with the audio that allow for additional functionality like time-stretching.


Multitrack Drums — Multitrack Drums are provided in the 24-bit WAV file format and contain each of the drum kit pieces like Kick, Snare, Hat, and more as their own separate file, allowing you to have complete control over each of the drum kit elements in your mix. The multitrack recordings of performances contain the complete studio session with nothing held back.


Kontakt

The Kontakt edition requires the full version of Kontakt 5.6.5 or higher. The Kontakt edition will not work with the free Kontakt Player or as a stand-alone VST instrument. The Kontakt edition is not a multi-sampled virtual instrument but rather a phrase-based engine built from performances, loops, and samples that allow you to create an authentic performance from the recorded content.
