Fully customized for Studio One users in their proprietary Soundset format, The Loop Loft's critically acclaimed loop and sample libraries can be purchased both from The PreSonus online shop, as well as directly from within Studio One.
"I'm extremely excited to announce this partnership with PreSonus and bring The Loop Loft's vast catalogue directly to Studio One users." said Ryan Gruss, Founder & CEO of The Loop Loft. "With everything now in the Soundset format, the user experience and workflow for producers using Studio One is incredible."
The initial launch of new content includes 8 complete libraries from The Loop Loft featuring The Art of Brushes and Dry Drums series. Individual libraries can be purchased directly from PreSonus for $29.99 USD, while bundled collections are available for $89.99 USD.
In addition to the loops and samples included in the Soundsets, The Loop Loft produced custom Impact presets, allowing user to load MIDI controlled drum kits featuring sounds identical to the original audio loops.
"Our relationship with PreSonus started several years ago when we brought Loop Loft artists Charlie Hunter and Johnny Vidacovich into the PreSonus recording studio for a live-streamed recording session. I was blown away by the sonic quality of both the PreSonus hardware and software, and have since integrated PreSonus products into The Loop Loft's studio." said Gruss.
"I'm thrilled to take our partnership with PreSonus to the next level with these new Soundsets, and this initial launch is just the beginning. Over the next few months, we'll be releasing new Soundsets featuring Loop Loft artists including Matt Chamberlain (Peter Gabriel, The Wallflowers), Omar Hakim (David Bowie, Miles Davis), Joey Waronker (Beck, R.E.M.) and many other legendary musicians."

About Dry Drums:
Ever since Ringo Starr placed tea towels on his drums with The Beatles, the punchy, fat sound of "dry drums" has been sought after for decades. With Dry Drums we give you this classic sound served up in a wide variety of loop sessions and meticulously sampled drum kits.
Recorded with an array of vintage mics, preamps and fully dampened heads, Dry Drums will easily sit in any mix, while providing the punch and clarity that is almost impossible to achieve with overly "live" sounding loops and samples. Each session comes complete with a multitude of beats, fills and transitions, allowing you to easily arrange your own custom drum track in seconds.

The many variations on particular rhythms, and the fills and other elements made it easy to construct convincing percussion parts both for particular compositions and for just practicing guitar parts along with traditional rhythms as an enjoyable and educational experience.
