Songwriter Series Vol. 3: Ballads

Ballads are hard! In faster tempos, you can easily get away with many things, such as sloppy guitar playing or stiff drum programming. But in slow tempos, everything is more exposed, and it’s really hard to get those ghost notes to sound natural.

A top-notch live drummer can really help your music sound just as organic as you need it to be.

Enter the OddGrooves Ballad Pack, a collection of live-recorded grooves in the tempos of 60 and 80 BPM. And since it’s MIDI, you can easily use them in songs ranging from 50 to 90 BPM.
