Rare Grooves Vol.3

The Sound Of 70s Funk & Soul

Rare Grooves Vol. 3 transports listeners to the timeless soul and funk of the 1970s. The slower grooves in Vol. 3 give off a faint bluesy vibe. Your music will be dialed in with a genuine vintage soul feel thanks to the classic soul drumbeats, silky bass lines, and funk-inspired electric guitars, as well as the tape-infused analog signal chain used in the recording process.

Cool Laid-Back Soul Grooves

The library contains 645 loops spread across five construction kits and a total of 3.5 GB. The instrument section features electric guitars and basses accompanied by organs, strings and electric pianos. Drums are provided as two premixed loops (one with reverb, one without) as well as single tracks for bass drum (in and out), snare drum (top, bottom and trigger), hihat, cymbals, toms, overheads and room. Tempos across the five construction kits span the 60-94 BPM range, giving a laid-back feel. Each of the kits provides between 3 to 5 main sections as well as intros and outros. Each section also provides plenty of performance variation with some loops up to 16 bars (32 seconds) in length, making it easy to build full song-format arrangements.

Soul Meets Funk Meets Blues

If you want to add your own choice of processing, DI’ed options for guitars and electric bass are included. However, the mic’ed and amped recordings deliver the warm, saturated, sound that only a great tube amp can provide. Rare Grooves Vol. 3 can bring the fabulous sonic character of a genuine early 70s recording into your own productions with a minimum of fuss.

Flexible Format for Full Productions

If you are in the mood for some down-tempo funk-soul-blues, Rare Grooves Vol. 3 has it all. It’s a great source of ideas for producers wanting to add their own vocal topline to create a genuine 70s soul classic. It would also work if you just need to drop a little vintage flavour into a modern project. Rare Groove Vol. 3 is an ideal option for media composers needing some old-school soul for their next scoring project. A perfect complement to both Vols. 1 and 2, Rare Grooves Vol. 3 will deliver a perfect slice of laid-back soul and funk to any musical project.
