I used ACID, which was the software which popularized loops, for a couple years to build bed tracks, and found it actually kind of tiresome to be honest. It's quite a bit of work, compared to simply recording my own tracks. I spent lots of time auditioning loops to see if they might work in a particular song. Time I could have spent just recording my own thing.




good description, Scott. In MOST music apps, the downfall of loops is the need to search endlessly for the right sound. And because loops have a certain header, most people end up buying pre-made loop libraries.

But the way RealBand works, they've made it very easy to play PART of your own song, save the snippets (and the header gets added on the fly). So now we can add custom user-performed content to a project that works ALMOST like real tracks!

So, for people who like Acid: RB plays that game now.

For people who don't want to search through loop libraries, they can create their own. Which really has potential to speed up the process of making a loop based song.
