I actually thought I already had these as Refills, but on checking no I haven't.

Which leads me to think I must have too much stuff already if I can't remember what I do have...

tomixornot..  One of the things that i find separates  people who make great original  songs using loops and those that sound more like remixes is treating the loop more like an instrument than simply and element to be combined with other things.  For instance, your beginning Garageband/Acid user would simply take a bass line loop, toss it over top of a beat loop and hope for the best.  Where as the person who thinks more musically may take that same bass loop, cut it into individual notes, and rearrange them into a completely different melody , ranging from simple to glitch type parts impossible to actually play on a bass.  

It blows my mind at how many songs have been created chopping up the same Amen loop.  Have you tried extracting the groove with Audiosnap to make the loops work together better.

dubdisciple,

Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm using Audiosnap once a while and still learning it, mainly to align some tempo issues, but not with loops yet. I remember watching an Audiosnap video for tightening drums sample and I do agree this is one area to make best use of loops.

a lot of it is "recycled" from their refills already , which I bought over the years.. and some of it is also 16 bit *NOT* 24 bit.. so your looking at loops easily 10+ years old (e.g. the jungle warfare ones, were put out in 2000 and before as audio).

so just be aware the laws on sampling changed after certain titles included e.g. the jungle warfare ones.. probably has the amen break, no one has ever taken legal action *BUT* other ones on there, people stopped using or masked / chopped HEAVILY to  get the hits out of.

it's good if you don't have the packs already , BUT you might need to do addtional eq work , because of how samples were done now and then.

I purchased Jungle Frenzy back around 95. Still very useful since it is mostly classic breaks and the version I have...well REX wasn't even invented yet. I'm getting too lazy to chop breaks in my old age! This collection is certainly not plug and play. The hip-hop and RnB stuff is totally dated now but works for some of the stuff I occasionally have have to do at work (like lay down hip-hop and dance beds beds for people who don't actually listen to hip-hop or dance music)

"I bought this. It downloaded as 6 RAR files. Can anyone recommend a good, easy to use RAR extractor?"
