drums, pt le 7.1, help..

fuzzface777 · 24th April 2006

First: little story, sad but true. I watched the PT method DVD VERY closely, even took 15 pages of notes. I also noted, using workspace, how easy it was to bring drum loops based on bpm. Well I put off actually trying the drum looping until about a week later, review, notes again. Since I bought the factory bundle for my mbox2, I knew that I had some type of drum library called BFD-lite. Except couldn't even audition a loop/clip in protools via workspace. Finally I navigated to BFD audio in program files and learned that it was indeed there. Finally, a nice fellow replied to my email that BFD's sample are not loops, and one usually uses a midi inttrument to access them. So then I realized that this isn't what I wanted. I WANTED LOOPS, for quick jamming, practicing or even crazy tracks where a perfect drum tone wouldn't matter. While working in Taiwan, I probably won't be spending cash on drum mics and learing that art. Loops should be enough. I want to be able to drag drum loops based on a search bpm (that I saw in the PT DVD) on drag it to a stereo track in my grid window. THen I did a google search only to find literally hundreds of bass/drum/synth loops. So I book marked probably too many.

My question is this: What free sample loop sites do you guys use in protools ( le even better)???? Please tell me the sites. I don't mind paying for loops, too if I exhaust all the free samples. So which sites have great pay loops CDs??

Second: Which loops or file types or files names will I know will work best with protools. I know wavs should be ok. I saw things like vst, and acid and other names that I don't really understand yet. Help me out.

Rock On!

Once I receive and save from Loop wav files, will a simple find in my workspace (pt le ) locate the wavs, then I can just drag them into a track?

Is the VST wrapper worth getting for my pt le?

I figured out why I could drag my loops before from my workspace into my tracks, I never completely installed every folder in all of my factory bundle( mbox2). ONce re intalling everything, I now some samples to get me practicing.

REGARDING VST plugs..... once buying the wrapper, WILL ALL vst plugs as rtas and audiosuite in pt le? Which VST plugs do you slutz love using or recommend?
