What is Black Symphony?

No drums, no construction kits, just a collection of loops broken down by sound or instrument type.
It's a collection of orchestral sounds aimed at the urban, pop, and hip hop genre.
You get keys, horns, choirs, strings, and other miscellaneous sounds.
Everything is tempo and key labeled for quick use.

So how does it sound?

The loops have a nice useful sound here, not over compressed or overloaded with fx to the point of being unusable.

There are actually some nice vinyl fx on some of the sounds, and there's a proper amount of ambiance or reverb where needed.

The loops themselves are well crafted and long enough with enough variation to allow multiple chops from the same loops.

Sound quality and style quality it's a very solid collection.

Definitely has an urban/pop sounds with a few instant "dirty south" sounding riffs in the mix as well.

So what's the bottom line?

This is a useful loop library and I like the fact that it's straight loops and not in construction kit format.

This makes it very easy to quickly audition and find the sounds you want to use.

I give Black Symphony 4 out of 5 subs, the sound quality is great and the actual playing style of the loops is very useful.

I like the variations as that allows the user many more options in terms of what parts they use or where they chop and such.

This is really good collection of sounds for the price in my opinion.
