90s Rock Riffs

The History Of The Rock: Part 4

The era of 90s rock riffs gave rise to a new sound that shaped the musical landscape of the decade. These loop packs combined classic rock elements with other genres such as pop, funk, hip-hop and metal, resulting in exciting sub-genres such as indie, alternative and grunge. Compared to the party rock of the previous decade, this sound was more experimental and showed an unmistakable 90s style.

“90s Guitar Riffs” offers over 3 GB of samples and 971 loops divided into 25 construction kits. Each kit contains a main riff and an outro, with the main riff loops being up to 24 seconds long. The kits cover a wide range of tempos from 80 to 194 BPM and a variety of keys. Thanks to Elastik's advanced algorithms for tempo and pitch changes, the riffs from different kits can be combined effortlessly.

Complimentary Bass And Drum Parts Included

Each kit contains three guitar parts. The first two are doubled versions of the main riff, while the third is a complementary lead guitar style part. All guitars are provided in both amp and DI versions for maximum mixing flexibility. A separate stereo loop contains all three guitars panned left/right and center. The guitar tones are more diverse to match the more varied styles of 90's Rock. Both clean and overdriven sounds are included, with less emphasis on heavy distortion. Bass and drum loops are also provided for each part within each kit. Both amp and DI versions are included 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.
