Loopmasters have announced availability of Loopcloud 5, the latest and very much greatest version of the app and plugin that helps you find, download, purchase, slice, edit, pitch samples, all without leaving the comfort of your DAW.
Says Loopcloud founder Matt Pelling, “With Loopcloud 5, producers will be able to push the boundaries of music production. We’re enhancing the creative journey for producers while making sure that the process is fun. Sourcing, auditioning, and editing sounds couldn’t be any faster. Essentially, every part of the software is designed to inspire creativity and encourage originality.”
After version 4 really leveled up the features and flexibility of the platform, and indicated the scale and scope of ambition that the Loopcloud team had for it’s future, version 5 really makes good on the earlier promise, with some great additions and well-developed integrations that make it a true workflow enhancer.
There is also an extra emphasis on using Loopcloud to help you create original sounds from sample pack material – very much a necessary thing as we producers strive to create our own style and sound aesthetic in an environment where it’s increasingly important to stand out from the competition to attract listeners attention.
