Celestial by Soundbytes

An unmistakable feeling of inspiration fills this 840 MB pack of WAV loops! Celestial is ModeAudio’s answer to an ever-growing set of libraries out in the market that are dedicated to bring orchestral textures to producers of film, TV soundtracks and game scores. 

If you’re looking for drone and texture loops, you’ve come to the right place. Celestial includes 148 orchestral texture loops, 26 granulation texture loops and 26 sub bass loops. All samples are tempo and key-labelled, and are presented as eight-bar, 120 BPM loops for ease of use and flexibility. 

Upon auditioning this pack, I have to say that the samples are great – from lush strings to ethereal beds – it is very evocative and inspiring. You can even layer the samples, apply delay and reverb processing, for an even more grandiose result. 

Celestial would also work in the production of new age, ambient and downtempo music. At just 200 loops, it might not be a galaxy of a library, but it is offset by the varying nature and usefulness of the sounds.
