You gotta get yourself a software program called ACID, dude. It's... acid! You'll love it. They have a cheaper introductory version without the bells, but it's got the whistles. I've got the one with both the bells and the whistles. Acid will allow you to elongate or shorten loops so they fit either the key or the BPMs. Try the demo at least, but try ACID, dude. -----Original Message----- From: Evil Paul [mailto:pixiepuck@hotmail.com] Sent: Wednesday 10 February 1999 10:26 PM To: Loopers-Delight@annihilist.com Subject: Introduction and 'Instant music' software Hi Loopers, I live in Perth, Western Australia and create loop based music at home on my PC. At the moment I'm using the freeware version of DDClip which gives four stereo tracks of ausio and allows me to sequence WAV files from my hard drive and it mixes and plays them back in real time. I was reading Computer Music magazine the other day and it had a small feature on 'instant music' CD-ROM's. You now the type - Dance Music e-jay software. A CD-ROM with a with a custom interface thousand or so dance music samples that lets you put all the loops together and make a dance track. If you've never tried one - give it a go as they are a lot of fun. I tried out a program called Hip Hop eJay and found that it was quite similar to the way I am making music with DDClip. Most of the loops for HHejay were ten seconds long exacly. Others were 5 seconds so you could for example have a ten second bassline loop and then have a complementary 5 seconf loop on another track come in on the start or the second half of the loop. Anyway, my question is, how would I go about creating a set of loops like that. Would I have to create separate libraries of basslines and beats according to BPM? How would I create loops of different BPM in loops that are exactly ten seconds anyway?
