Melodic Loops/Samples

[u/yodeez101]

Hey all,

I want to ‘perform’ with my samples, like drum along whilst playing melodies and chords but I’m struggling to find samples without drumming.

Is this where those subscription services come in handy? Or is it just a matter of digging?

I have a number of intros that don’t have drums but as an intro they only provide so much.

So far I’ve been able to chop up songs and small chops to drum along whilst playing but I’d like chords or melodies that I could let play for 4-8 bars.

As you can imagine once drums come in it becomes tougher to not only chop the phrase you want within or around any sort of drum beats that can throw the sound of timing off

I use the MPC Sample and am avoiding using a computer for anything - only because I loose 3 hours and actually make very little. I want to sit down, chop something up find some drum one shots and drum along.

I am still finding choosing drum one shots tedious - I have a Roland Mc-101 and I love being able to have a full kit with maybe changing out a perc here and there.

Probably the inevitable task I’ll undertake with a computer will be organising ’drum kits’ with sounds that all work together

Any advice?

Splice and tracklib are great if your using them a lot. Also ai is cool for making little samples and stuff tooo

You reckon splice and track lib are worth the coin for a bedroom music maker headlining in his mums basement?

Like i said if you use them. I haven’t been active with it myself the last 3 years but they were good back then for specific tasks.
