Acoustic Guitar Ballads 2

Intense Emotion

Acoustic Guitar Ballads 2 is a huge collection of extended 6-string and 12-string acoustic guitar performances that provide an ideal starting point for your next songwriting project. Complimenting the original Acoustic Guitar Ballads Vol. 1, this second volume follows a similar approach but ups the level of emotional intensity. Acoustic Guitar Ballads 2 is packed with musical ideas that are perfect for Ballads, Pop or Folk.

Maximum Mix Flexibility

As part of the Elastik Instrument Series, this volume provides 4 GB of samples across 636 loops. These are organized into 53 folders, containing an extended musical idea based around three acoustic guitar parts. The main loop is provided with two rhythmic parts panned hard left and right making it easy to use them as a pair or to isolate either performance. An additional loop panned center features a complimentary melody/lead line. Separate ending loops are provided for both rhythm and lead lines. Two mix versions of each loop are included: FX and dry. These options provide maximum flexibility when mixing within your own projects. As ever, the sound quality is pristine, with the FX versions featuring a beautiful ambience for instant results.

Ideal For Ballads In All Styles

With original tempos spanning 60 to 90 BPM, the playing style and intensity is taken up a notch from Vol. 1. The moods span a wide range including melancholic, sad, thoughtful, reflective, dark, gentle, wistful, hopeful, and mysterious. With lots of 12-string guitar throughout, and a combination of both 4/4 and 6/8 performances, the sophisticated performances work perfectly when used in isolation, but can also be easily combined with drums, bass and vocals for a full arrangement.

Emotional Acoustic Guitar Performances

Ideal to expand upon the content of Vol.1, Acoustic Guitar Ballads Vol.2 also fits well with our Acoustic Guitar 1 and 2 libraries, while other libraries within the Instrument Series could easily be used to provide additional complimentary instrumentation. For media composers looking to create a moody but minimal acoustic underscore, or producers wanting inspiration for their next organic songwriting project, Acoustic Guitar Ballads Vol. 2 provides a beautiful palette of ideas waiting to be explored.
