Some of the styles that you’ll find in Spark’s loop library are: upbeat top 40s pop similar to artists like Dua Lipa, Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, and Taylor Swift. Pop rock and anthemic rock like Knox, Bilmuri, The Maine, and Waterparks. R&B pop in the style of artists like Sza, Miguel, Daniel Caesar, and Frank Ocean. Indie pop with references from The 1975, joan, Nightly, LANY, and Lauv. Hyperpop and Math Rock similar to acts like Brakence, Polyphia, RJ Pasin, and ericadoa & more! Flint contains 105 mix-ready guitar loops that range from driving chord progressions, beautiful melodic leads, layered plucks, and full on multitrack guitar arrangements inspired by folk and indie acts like Noah Kahan, Gracie Abrams, Role Model, Taylor Swift, The National, Zach Bryan, Kacey Musgraves, Brenn!, Alex Warren, Bon Iver, and more! Every single loop can be used as the processed stereo file with our tones and mixing built in, but we didn’t want to limit you. That’s why we decided to also deliver the unprocessed D.I. tracks or raw mic’d recordings for every single loop in this pack. Every loop contains 2 separate takes of the raw recordings. that have been recorded and meticulously, but left completely raw so you can add your own tones. If a loop contains multiple elements (for example some chords, a lead, and another layer), you’ll get the raw files for each element so you can construct your own guitar arrangements with what we’ve included! Since we included multiple takes of every element, you can stack, pan, and separately process any stereo guitars using the raw files we have provided! The best part about this pack is that every sound is 100% ROYALTY FREE! You can use these sounds in any commercial, sync, or personal projects with no hassle of trying to get approval, sample clearance, or split negotiations. This bundle will work in ANY DAW since these loops are WAV files that can easily be dropped in any DAW timeline or sampler. ——— Timestamps Intro 0:00 Why We Made These Packs 0:25 Why Our Packs Are Different 1:12 How We Made Spark and Flint 1:45 The Gear We Used 2:35 What The Packs Come With 3:00 Processed Loops Vs.

In this video, I show you how to make a pop song in the style of Tate McRae's new album, "So Close To What". I dive into how to pull elements from Y2K era pop, dark pop, hip hop, and blend them into a modern and hard hitting pop record.
