I have tried the supplied WMA's and they work well, but i also used a few Wave format loops and they work well also. Smart loops have some good ones for sure. make sure you order Acid wave format.

One really cool feature of this is tha avility to mae A/B loop tracks. Take a simple drum groove and have it switch at the part markers to a complex groove, and it is seemless.
Looping takes some skill, you may need to use extra tracks. One for the groove, and one for fills and such. Or cut and paste fills and flams over sections. Being able to add in percussion and sound effets is huge. Being able to loop in any synth sounds and have it follow the chord changes is huge!
I hope the guys build a detailed how to tutorial on looping alone.

I was thinking about the loops' physical location issue(s) brought up earlier and was wondering if there was a way to change the default folder?

"Loops.. man, they are a GAME changer! I find myself reconsidering my options at every point in the song creation cycle!"
Hello! I totally agree. I migrate thru several music programs, yet always come back to BIAB. For the last year I have been using Reason and Acid Pro7 heavily. I have gigantic loops collections. When I dusted off BIAB11 last week and upgraded to 2012 I was looking at all the new features. I've only used BIAB in the past. I don't know why, but RealBand never sparked me and I never even opened it. It always seemed to be aimed more at PowerTracks users,,,,,,,I thought. I watched some RealBand videos on youtube and became hooked on it. Those RealReacks sound so much more realistic than my current midi setup. I found much similarity with the RealTracks and the loops I use in other programs.
I copied some loops to the BIAB folder and like what I heard. This certainly adds an exciting element to my song creation. It would be nice to directly access loops from their home folders instead of having to copy them. It is a waste of hard drive space to have them in two places. Maybe something BIAB2013 can address. It still amazes me how these music programs have evolved over the years and now a computer is the main platform. I so remember midi hardware from the early 80s and how you connected equipment together. Punching data into sequencers..................it took forever!!! Yet I still use some of those old midi files I created back then, mostly for nostalgia, if not really their musical content. This is a great forum, and I hope to share stuff later with all of you too!! -charley

Will be great when PG fixes the issue with regeneration in RB. I love the new loops feature and will use it often (when it's fixed)
