Aight, got a new company for ya today.
Today we are checking out the first pack I’ve used from novaloops.com
The co owner Don used to be the ceo/pres at p5audio and also brought out a lot of that library while there.
That don’t really matter though, what matters is if these sounds are dope or not.
They sent this one over for review…Let’s check em out.
NYC Hood Anthems chopped loop set…

What the heck is a chopped loop set?
The first kit I wanted to review was something they do called “chopped loop sets”
Basically, this is a new take on a traditional construction pack.
The various sounds are already chopped up into pieces so you can load them in your favorite sampler.
They even come in popular software sampler formats like kontakt, battery, exs, and reason.
Since I’m always chopping stuff, I figured this would be a great one to checkout.
What is in it though?
It’s got everything you would expect in a construction pack….
You get guitars, strings, synths, bass, keys, etc…it really depends on the pack.
This one is geared towards NY style hip hop so you get a nice collection of funky deep basses, some slick guitars, dope strings, keys, and rough synths.
Some bells, organs and stuff too, all chopped up. They aren’t multisamples chopped up, you get the individual instruments chopped up, tons of riffs and licks in various tempos, very quick to work with and easy to put together.
But how do they sound?
Sound quality is on point, well produced, no junk here. Everything has proper levels, it’s not too loud, too much fx, or anything.
These are definitely very usable sounds, they don’t clash, don’t click, don’t pop, and the riffs are short enough that you can easily come up with your own sounds and patterns.
So what’s the verdict? Are they worth it?
I like this company, the sounds are dope, and so far the customer services is ill. They are doing some great things and I am looking forward to checking out more from them.
I gave this chopped set a 4 out of 5 subs. It’s really good, but I definitely want to see them grow and continue to prove themselves in the sound game, even though the individuals running it have been in the music game for years.
go on over and check em out, they got some dope stuff going on over there, including a vip members club which I plan to cover more in depth in another article.

Thanks yo… I’d imagine on some of them I’d want the loops so I can make my own chops. But it’s cool to get stuff already chopped up anyway.
