No offense ...
Are you sure about that? Your post really goes down hill after the second word. LOL! As for me personally, I use loops a lot, but I create my own using the loop tool in Sonar.
... but some of the posts here are pretty dern shallow.
Could be that the naysayers of loops don't have the creativity to use them as instruments in their own right.
There is a BIG difference in just layering a bunch of loops and calling it a song,
and creating with pieces and slices and tidbits of loops to augment one's creation. The whole argument reminds me of my grandfather demonizing the terribleness of the electric guitar.
At least, IMHO..
Looping is nothing new, it's been around long before computers came on the scene. What
is new is how someone else is doing the work now, and that work is being bundled and sold (or given away in this case), and someone else will piece together a song with those loops without ever touching an actual instrument. There's nothing wrong with that, but please, don't call yourself a musician, it's kind of offensive to those of us who actually are.
IMHO.
