Tips on how to get more from Your Drum Loops



A drum loop is basically that section of the music which is cut in such a way that it seamlessly plays the sound of drums indefinitely or in a loop. It can range from a few seconds to a few minutes depending on the composer. They are usually created to work as a convenient underscore on which the composition is built. They can be combined with bass line loops. The following tips have been suggested keeping Ableton Live in mind but can also be used with DAW.
1. Chop the loop
Try and change the arrangement of the loops after chopping them. This comes very handy when you want to create your library drums.
2. Audio channels
After rearranging plan a scheme for placing chopped slices in their independent audio positions. This will enable you to add different effects to various parts and it wont effect the drum hits at all. The only problem with drum and guitar loops is that when you want to add an effect it affects the kick and the hi hats. The overall sound can be effected by it.
3. Return channels
Always try to put all your different effects in to the return channels instead of loading them into your audio channels. This will save a lot of space in your CPU and let you add more instruments later. Most Ableton Live users find that effects in return will help in mastering the audio drums. In other words with all of it in one return all the effects for the snare will be in one channel  and have no loads effect on layered hit of snare.
4. Multiply your drum hits
You dint need to stop at one kick or snare. You can try it innumerable times. The more the layering the bigger the sound that will be created. Most people have come to expect this with genres of bass, drum and dubstep. One layer might work once but layering is always more impressive.
5. Adding drum patterns
Be creative with drum patterns and don’t hold back when using them. The option of DJ the Prodigy will provide complexity to the underlining drum sounds in your track.
For eg- Fire Starter has a drum beat as main, but it can also be used a abreak beat loop in the back.
This technique is commonly used in Glitch and Break Beat
6. Use of transposition
When the drum hits are chopped up the glitch effect can be added very easily using transposition. When using Ableton Live always remember that transpositions can be done only in multiples in increasing order. Or else they will not sound in sync.
For eg- if a drum hit is transposed three semitones then the next one should be -6 or -9 or +6 or +9. This is just a tip not a rule.
7. Conversion into a MIDI track
The audio sample can be converted into a MIDI track very easily using Ableton Live. The arrangement can be changed of the loops and you will end up getting your own unique loop. It just not limits you here, sustain decay; release and attack can also be added for alteration.

6 Reasons Why Loops Are Here To Stay



A harmonically tuned music motif is a blend of groovy musical patterns unified with repetitive loops and harmonizing tempo. Loops play an important role in determining the musical pattern as they can be combined with several musical instruments ranging from drums to synths and to processors. So, let’s find some more vital reasons why loops are here to stay for musical compositions.
1.    Loops Ease Musical Compositions
The biggest benefit with loops during composition is that they can be easily created or recorded to create a brilliant segment of a musical composition. Loops like drum loops or guitar loops can easily be created without having any expert know how of playing these instruments.
2.    Loops Are Much Easier to Use
Anyone who has basic knowledge about creating music can fabricate his own composition with loops. You just need some loops of preferred choice and matching tempos and keys to create a track of your taste. Moreover, you can do endless experiments with loops with different instruments like the midi loops and jam it with varying base and tempos.
3.    Filling In The Missing Parts With Loops
Sometimes, while composing a track, you might get a feel that it is missing an essential element. However, if you try filling the voids with loops, you will notice endless options that are suddenly available to you. Such fill ups work exceptionally well especially while jamming when a track breaks down in the absence of a band member. 
4.    For Producing A Special Sound
Loops provide musicians an upper hand with almost every musical instrument to set a foundation for any track and add new twists on a gradual run. Moreover, loops can be used to create colossal sound effects especially during live performances. This helps in maintaining the energy level and keeps people grooving endlessly.   
5.    How Professional Work With Loops
The need of working with loops has become really important and is a contributing element in every minor or major musical genre. Whether you consider any form of entertainment or any kind of music, loops are the basic elements music directors use in different forms. This is a great reason why international music artists and composers rely on the flexibility of experimenting with loops.  
6.    Inexpensive Composing
We know that composing a master piece requires a lot of patience, hours of recording and an experience of working with expensive recording instruments. Well patience and time can be bargained but the experience of working with expensive recording instruments can be reduced while working with loops. There are several low cost software programs that are perfect to work with loops and can reduce the expenses of costly recording studios.
All these reasons when seen in the light of more amateur musicians coming up, validates the argument that loops are here to stay. They allow you to instantly create music with pre-recorded loops, available separately for instruments like guitar, drums and so on, letting you escape the trouble of learning these tricky instruments.
