A "must have" musical idea kit for singers, songwriters, rappers and producers, there are over eight gigabytes (2-DVDs) of hundreds of royalty-free 24-bit/44.1kHz .wav files and .aiff Apple Loops produced to go in a "song track puzzle" where all the pieces always fit correctly. As a bonus, you also get a music CD of twelve completed tracks you can also use royalty- free.

Over a year in research, development and production by veteran record producer Josquin des Pres went into Instant Beatz. Des Pres has already produced hit sample libraries such as: Neo Soul, Neo Soul 2, Hip Hop Exotica, Tower of Funk, Reggaeton, and Technocore.

I installed Instant Beatz in my Pro Tools rig and immediately loved how freely, after observing a few ground rules, I could put together cool sounding tracks from well-organized folders of drumbeats, bass lines, instrumental hooks, counter hooks, vocal hooks, and special effects. Simply drag and drop any of the loops onto your MAC's or PC's Pro Tools, Cubase, GarageBand, Nuendo, Cakewalk Sonar, or other DAW's timeline and you're rockin'! The only "constraint" might be track tempo but you can choose starting tempos between 80, 88, 96, and 104 BPM and all DAWs allow for fine-tuning.
