80s Rock Riffs

The History Of The Rock: Part 3

If you combine an SG and a super-strat, a room full of Marshall stacks, and let there be rock, what you get is 80s Rock Riffs. With powerhouse overdriven guitar tones, get ready to prove that rock and roll is nothing like noise pollution. This is the rock that filled the first decade of MTV, from the super-tight riffs of boys in black to the testosterone-fueled licks that would rock any cradle. 80s Rock Riffs will let you shoot to thrill.

Powerhouse Overdriven Guitar Tones

Featuring over 2.5 GB of samples composed of nearly 1000 individual loops, 80s Rock Riffs is organized into 25 musical kits. The 25 kits were recorded at tempos ranging from a rock-solid 80 BPM to an up-tempo 190 BPM. Each kit includes a main riff section and a dedicated outro section. The main riff loops are up to 24 seconds in length. With its powerful tempo and pitch manipulation features, Elastik makes it possible to combine riffs into longer arrangements even when they were originally recorded in different tempos or keys.

Amp And DI Versions Of All Guitars

Within each kit, three guitar parts are included. The first two provide doubled versions of the main riff while the third offers a complimentary part that is in a lead guitar style. All guitar parts are provided as both amp and DI versions for maximum mix flexibility. A separate stereo loop contains all three guitars panned left/right and center. This loop also includes effects for a mix-ready option. Bass and drum loops are also provided for both the main riff and outro within each kit. Both amp and DI versions are provided for the bass loops. A pre-mixed stereo drum loop is included alongside separate loops for bass drum (both mic in and mic out options), snare drum (with snare top, bottom and trigger provided), hihat, ride, toms, overheads and room mics enabling full control over the drum mix. This decade was when the world fully embraced digital recording and the CD, and the recording and mixing process used here were designed to reflect that change.
