Expand your creative options with Loop & Sample Libraries. You can use these libraries with your current collection of loops and samples, and add more variety and options to your songs. A loop library will give you many pre-recorded sequences that you can use, combine or remix with your software. A sample library contains digital recordings of naturally occurring sounds, such as pianos, drums, and other instruments. The recordings in the sample library are recorded with different intensities, durations and articulations, to provide you with a variety of different sounds.
What To Look For When Buying Loop Libraries & Sample Collections
First, find the loop or sample library that contains the style of music or instruments you are looking for. Most sample libraries contain samples of one instrument or a variety of similar instruments (e.g. piano, world instruments, pianos & organs, orchestral, etc). Loop libraries can contain loops in a particular style (e.g. house, trance, hip hop, etc.) or with particular instruments (e.g. basses, drums, etc.).
Second, make sure that the loop or sample will work with a format supported by your host application – Giga, Halion, AKAI, ACID, Reason, etc. If the library comes in WAV or audio format, you should be able to use them in any sampler.
