I love to use the blank styles to use any real track I want to create my own style for each backing track I make. I want to add real hand claps to some of my tracks to get the crowd going and the only real hand clap recording I found is the off beat hand claps. I would just like two one person hand claps, one clapping quarter notes and one clapping on the 2&4 along with two recordings of a group of people clapping quarter notes and clapping on the 2&4.

+1 Good wish. But until RealTracks get made there's +++ THIS +++ free plug-in.

Then perhaps you also need a 'real life audience simulation' hand-clap track, where an audience is supposed to clap on 2 & 4, but actually mutates quickly to 1 & 3 and not in the correct tempo.

These are great suggestions for audience participation sounds.
Whistles and yells are also part of the concert experience and could be added.

And if we truly want realism, add an audience talking track to be used during the bass solo.

Please accept my apologies for the sidetrack humor. I’m exhausted from concerts.

I went looking for hand claps some time ago and there are things online but they all sound sus.
I decided to record my own hand claps and six tracks later was very sore & sorry I decided to do it.
PLUS they sounded awful.
In desperation I dragged out an old 80s Roland drum machine and tapped the clap key along with the song for two tracks.
Blended together and panned the real & machine claps work well...adding ADT to some, (the cheap cheat way - REaper Delay - vocal fattening preset), & EQing the attack on the machine ones made it even better.
I like Floyds ones and if I were doing something around that tempo they'd be great...THANKS Floyd.

These should be conversations like "I've never heard such a great bass player" or "Wow, best of all is the incredible bass solo!" or "I think I'm going to start learning to play bass too" or enthusiastic shouts like "I want a baby from you!"
