The Rock Ballads 2 Black Friday deal is 50% off, which puts this Ueberschall rock sample pack at $55 until Nov 29, 2026.
It's a loop library built around slow, guitar-led songs. You get clean and overdriven electric guitar, acoustic guitar, bass and drums, so a full ballad arrangement can come from one pack.
Strings, synths, organ and electric piano loops sit on top for extra texture.
The library holds 8GB of samples across 1325 loops and phrases, organised into 10 construction kits.
Each kit is split into song sections: intros, outros, verses and choruses. There are also 'alternative' sections that can work as a bridge, pre-chorus or middle 8.
Every section carries multiple guitar parts, so you can layer and swap them as the arrangement develops.
Electric bass, electric guitar and acoustic guitar phrases each come in two versions. The mic'ed take is ready to mix straight away.
The DI take lets you run your own amp simulation and ambience instead, which leaves the tone of the part open.
Drums are supplied two ways. Pre-mixed loops are there for instant use.
Individual loops for kick, snare, hihat, toms, cymbals and overheads let you build your own drum mix, with your own levels and processing per element.
Original tempos run from 50 to 100bpm, and the kits use a range of keys. Elastik's time-stretching, scale and pitch features let you move both to fit your project.
The maker describes Elastik as an ideal loop player. Beyond time-stretching, pitch-shifting and scale syncing, it offers resample, reverse and a multimode filter.
Its attribute-based browser searches Rock Ballads 2 and every other installed Elastik library, so you can locate specific sounds quickly.
The moods run from emotional to anthemic. Ueberschall says the idea is to build a radio-ready arrangement and then add your own production elements.
The Elastik Player is recommended on macOS 10.12 or higher, or Windows 8 or higher.
The Ueberschall Downloader needs an internet connection and the same recommended macOS or Windows versions.
