03In depth

Kit Types and Mixing Options

The pack is split evenly between 50 stereo kits and 50 multi-out kits. Stereo kits are ready to drop into a beat with no extra setup. Multi-out kits send each drum to its own output, so you can process kick, snare, hi-hats and percussion separately in your mixer or DAW.

All kits are professionally EQ'd and pre-mixed, so they sound balanced as soon as you load them. That makes them useful for fast sketching, and the multi-out versions give you control when you need to shape individual drums.

Who the Live Elements Pack Is For

Live Elements suits hip hop and beat producers who want acoustic drum character without recording their own kit. Because the samples are real drums, the kits fit producers chasing a more organic groove than programmed drums typically give.

The pack requires Beat Machine 1 or Beat Machine 2, so it works as an add-on for owners of either instrument rather than as a standalone product. The kits are 100% royalty free with no commercial licensing fees.

What do I need to use Live Elements?

You need Beat Machine 1 or Beat Machine 2 to run this expansion pack. It is an add-on and does not work on its own.
