80s Punk & New Wave is a comprehensive sound library featuring 23 construction kits with over 1.6 GB of loops, phrases, and samples inspired by the raw energy of early to mid-eighties LA Punk, NY Punk, UK Punk, Ska, Hardcore, PostPunk, and New Wave. This collection captures the essence of guitar-driven music from that era, with authentic licks from guitars, bass, keys, drums, and more. All loops are recorded from live performances using mic'd stacks, vintage drum kits, and analog gear popular at the time, delivering an organic and gritty sound. Users can choose between dry mixes or a saturated 80s commercial tone, while multi-track drumkits provide access to individual elements like kick, snare, and overheads for detailed mixing.
The library is powered by the Elastik loop player, which offers advanced features to enhance creativity and workflow. It includes high-quality timestretching and pitch-shifting, allowing loops to adapt seamlessly to different tempos and keys. The LoopEye function enables quick exploration of loop variations, while all parameters are fully MIDI controllable, providing extensive customization. Users can save both original and modified versions of loops, create presets, and manage content efficiently with tools like automatic slicing and chromatic mapping. The player supports a wide tempo range from 10 to 480 BPM, making it ideal for various production styles.
Compatibility is ensured across Mac OS X and Windows platforms, supporting AU, VST, and RTAS plugin formats for seamless integration with most digital audio workstations. This sound library offers producers and musicians authentic 80s punk and new wave textures, combining vintage character with modern flexibility. Whether crafting aggressive punk tracks or nostalgic new wave sounds, this collection delivers the raw spirit and sonic detail needed to bring classic 80s styles into contemporary productions.
