Is it possible to make my own loops?


It's very possible to make your own with Real Track bass.

I don't have time at the moment to tell you a step by step method, but it's not really any harder than creating a full arrangement. You'll just need to set things up differently than for a full arrangement--bar length, repeats, endings, etc. as well as your usual entries of key, tempo, and any groove alterations like pushes, shots, holds, rests. Render with Acid info.

It depends largely on your DAW how the resulting small segments will be loaded, but you should be able to paint them in similar to any other loop.

The downside MAY be that you MIGHT have to take the extra step of quantizing, but with bass, I'm thinking probably not so much. As long as they "loop", that human element shouldn't be more "detrimental" than the way they play in a larger arrangement. The up side is you can made 6+ with every song file by just loading a bass on every track that will accept one AND you get to set your own key and tempo.

Things have changed dramatically since I was using them a lot, but all of the above steps may well be easier than digging up bass loops from a 3rd party folder.

See what you can accomplish.

Well, this is a fun post and both methods are easier than the convoluted way I've done loops in the past so my interest in making custom loops is re-energized. Thanks for Roycol's question and both great replies.

Tangmo, If you do find time, a detailed step by step post would be appreciated. I never knew to use the StyleMaker to isolate the audio snips and that is pretty convenient and I currently import my saved WAV snippets into RealBand and use the Save as Loop function from RealBand to acidize and save to the correct file directory. Curious to hear what you do.
