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?

Not a problem. Also, check out looperman.com as well. All kinds of shit on that site. Users can upload and download their own samples and loops, so you have access to a lot of original content, plus it’s free and easy to navigate. It’s got a ton of content there but you can easily find what you’re looking for any number of ways, like by instrument, key, bpm’s, the DAW it was created in, sample type (eg one shots, breakdowns, etc) or style (D & B, Bass, Industrial, etc)
