Subject:Curious??? Posted by: IllOgiKaL Date:12/12/2002 10:10:59 PM Ive been buying loop CD's and I noticed that alot of the content is not worth using. I wanted some loop buyers to give me feedback on other libraries. Ineed to know if theyre worth buyi ng or not......I dont know if Im allowed to give my email address but after i get a few replies Ill set up a board somewhere, or someone could direct me to one.....PeaCe oUt

Subject:RE: Curious??? Reply by: knowbody Date:12/13/2002 3:16:45 AM I'd be interested to know what loop libraries people use and how. But how do you define how useful a library is. Isn't it a case of one musician's music is another musicians poison? I have lots of loop CD's perhaps I'll go check and see which ones I use on a regular basis and which ones I've hardly touched. But then the uses I have for loops probably don't match other people's. Chris (Hunt)
Subject:RE: Curious??? Reply by: dkistner Date:12/13/2002 12:45:15 PM To be honest, I have not used loop libraries at all. I haven't even used the free stuff yet. I'm pretty new to Acid, from traditional scoring, so it's taking a mind-shift. But I've made a fair number of my own loops for use in my own compositions. It's amazing how quickly you can turn out a ton of useful stuff just by changing out instruments and re-rendering. What I do is compose short segments (2 to 8 bars, generally) that work together contrapuntally, then save each voice line to a separate midi file that I can revisit when I "need something." Then I render out dry waves from that--no effects, usually--saving the effects step for when I'm arranging the loops in Acid.
