So, will many of us actually use that Loopmasters stuff?

There's a song in the song forum by tbosco entirely made from this package of loops and samples.  Here is the link: http://soundcloud.com/tbosco/the-x2-additional-content-song .  Maybe this will give you and idea of how they can be helpful.

Hey Lynn... Thanks for the plug...lol...  That song was made from the loops content that comes with X2, not the new free package unfortunately.  However, I've listened to a lot of the new stuff, and there is a lot of useful stuff in there, similar to my song.

There's many ways to use the loops and one-shots.... just be creative.  :-)

synkrotron-  I hope the free content is varied also... but, can't complain about free stuff I guess.

Hi all,loops can add a movement to finish the right groove.It shouldn't be the main part for me but depends on the kind of music.Best.Roby

I guess for me, it's the genre of the loops.  Useful, but not to me.  I have a fairly robust collection of loops, especially drum loops, that I have acquired over the years along with other loops such as piano, steel guitar, electric and acoustic guitar samples, etc., and I don't see me using these.  So, while the content is great if you are into techno, trance, dubstep, etc., for me, anyway, it is considerably less useful.  Let me reiterate, I am very grateful for Cakewalk offering this and it will be incorporated into my library in the manner of the BORG, I just hoped that it might have been a bit more "mainstream" or "conventional".  I already have a quite large quantity of this material from disks that come with mags such as Computer Music.  I don't want to discourage Cakewalk from offering loops, I just wished, personally, that they were more useful TO ME, something like some polka or Irish dirge loops, LOL!  And, let's face it, the price is right!
