Marc Steinmeier has been helping out Ueberschall via a couple of releases within the Elastik line of sample and loop collections. Among these releases, the massive Elastik Electro Producer Pack is among the well-known construction kit collections. A hit among producers of Nu Dance, Trance, House, Techno, and other dance-music-related genres, a followup to this release now comes in the form of Ueberschall Elastik Electro Producer Pack 2.

Covering everything you need to produce electronic dance tracks fast, Electro Producer Pack 2 expands further the already massive Electro Producer Pack. For ease of use and other practical purposes, samples and loops are organized according to sound and function as listed below:

• 01 Drum Single Sounds and Percussion Sounds (1153 samples)
• 02 Kick-Drum-Less Loops and Percussion Loops (777 loops)
• 03 Synth Sounds (138 samples)
• 04 Synth Loops (331 loops)
• 05 SFX Sounds (355 samples)
• 06 SFX Loops (346 loops)
• 07 Vocals (222 samples and loops)

The great thing about this collection is it bears both in mind the detail-oriented producer as well as the producer who would like instant tracks fast. One of the detail-oriented features of this collection is the Kick-Drum-Less loops. Being free of the kick drum parts gives you the freedom to arrange kick drum patters in whatever manner you would like, unlike other loop collections that tie you down to their inherent kick drum patterns. These kick-drum-free themes even have a main mix plus every element broken down. This adds a big degree of freedom for a lot of possible arrangements when you have the time as well as gives you instant patterns for those instant tracks.

The synth sounds and loops in the collection are also one of its highlights. All of these synth sounds and loops have been created using analog synthesizers such as Moog Voyager, Studio Electronics SE-1, Alesis Andromeda A6, Korg MonoPoly, Oberheim Xpander, and Oberheim OBMX ensuring that you get those analog sounds and noises that have been predominant in dance music genres. With each loop having a set of variations along with the loop's main theme, the collection gives you a multitude of possibilities for your tracks.

Fast construction side-by-side with provisions for detailed arrangement make Electro Producer Pack 2 an appealing package. Coupled with top-notch recording and production, this construction pack will make for an amazing addition to your existing production kit. You can get a copy of Ueberschall Elastik Electro Producer Pack 2 for $99.95 via dealers of Ueberschall products.
