Yep - I'm a newbe to AP5a

Sooo... does anyone have any ideas where I could learn how to create a Native American traditional-style flute loop? More specifically in a meditation genre (sheepish gaze - not included)

Douglas Spotted Eagle made a collection of such. (I'm not sure about whether they're royalty-free or not.)

How can I determine if they are royalty-free?

The Sony Native American loop library is royalty free, I think. It has some good NAF loops on it, but not lots of them.

I play NAF myself, and have recorded a few phrases. Tell me what key and a bit about the sound / tempo etc and I might have something that will fit your needs.

Also, there is a gigastudio instrument library available as well somewhere.

You may want to look into getting a flute and learning it. It's not hard to play though some of the stylistic sounds may take a while. It is rewarding, and you can get a good one for as little as $50 or $75. Try oregan flute store.

BTW, I have the Spotted Eagle acid CD. It is royality free. It contains drums and percussion mainly, but there are some flute and vocals.

rpw: Check out Q Up Arts' license agreement. It sounds similar to Sony's, but there's an email there to contact someone if you have a question.

jumbuk: I actually tried looking for that collection for rpw but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Which one?

The GS3 instrument is here: https://www.globalfulfillment.net/gfsnet/giga/10Expand.aspx?ProductCode=BGFLUTES

Looks like Sony have taken the original Sonic Foundry library off the catalogue. RPW, they might still have one if you email them. Q-up arts supplied the samples, and I think their Volume 1 is the same thing. Find it at http://www.quparts.com/cgi-bin/cp-app.cgi?usr=50X7013240&rnd=7313634&rrc=N&cip=203.222.129.30&pg=prod&ref=QUA-47-450&cat=loopsacid&catstr=HOME:loopsacid. At $59.00 I think it is overpriced. Amazon has it for $44.99.

Yes, I forgot to mention that you could buy a flute and learn it. Stellar flutes make very good ones, not expensive. I got my first (Gm) from them. As easy to play (initially) as a recorder, but takes some breath control to get the best out of them. I recommend that you get the Carlos Nakai book at the same time.
