Even at that, my point is more that someone who have had to know when they created the loop what my brain is hearing months or years later to create what I want. See what I am saying?

If I need a line that is

boooomp bomp a bomp bomp bomp booooooomp

someone would have had to know what I needed months or years later in order to create that exact phrase.

I just plug in my EPS16+ and play the "pop horns" sample and play my phrases in. Once they are in waveforms, I can cut and paste it as needed. So in essence, I guess I AM looping. And since every song is different, there's not even a reason to keep a library of phrases.

As someone who grew up on AWB, TOP and EW&F, horns are A-OK with me!!!




when you get a library of loops, each instrument has hundreds of commonly used phrases which can be snapped together like musical legos. Each phrase can be individually pitch shifted, so a single note of a certain duration could be every note of that same duration

Loops aren't for everybody. People like you who already have a convenient way to get the sound you want may not choose to use them. But, like real tracks, they differ from MIDI in that they are real instruments played by real musicians. As such, all the natural nuance, tone and variability of the real instrument is inherent in the loop
