LA Beats by Soundbytes

LA Beats is a 613 MB collection from ModeAudio comprising 452 files (in WAV, Acid, REX2, AIFF, Live, ReFill and MIDI formats). The materials are suitable for R'n'B, Hip-hop, Soul, Trap and Pop productions. 

There are vintage-sounding keys, gorgeous chords, lush pads, slick synthesizer leads, percussions and tasty drum loops, all perfected for modern production yet impart that LA vibe. Tempos range from 70-86 BPM. Some of the hottest drum loops I've heard are here – all of them hand-crafted from the ground up and programmed and performed using “characterful” gear (i.e., 808s). 

What's good about this library is that the samples sound good by themselves and are primed to drop in every DAW, or if you're like me, perfectly tweak them to fit in your production. If you're passionate about making music with a west coast vibe, LA Beats has a wealth of useful samples and some of the most solid performances I've heard in a sample pack. Overall, thumbs up. This is a warm, sun-drenched representative of what's California.
