It's actually sort of difficult to buy loop sets commercially that aren't in 4/4. Most 4/4 loops cover 4 bars, 8 bars, 16 bars, etc. Using commercial loop sets within something like Acid without chopping does lead to fairly straight forward pop/house/D&B/rock formats pretty directly but you can do other things by chopping loops. Trance loop sets are cool as they often have long pad loops that might run 32 bars with some variation in the loop so you can grab an 8 bar chunk that you like the sound of. There are sometimes a few 3/4 loops buried within larger sets, but it's really, really difficult to find 5/8 or 7/8 sets for doing anything very jazzy. - Mark _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
