Additional Mixcraft Loops

[Hadiehl]

Hey all -

I've just purchased Mixcraft and am relatively happy with it. I fell in love with a friend's Garageband and wanted a similar program that would run on Windows - this seems to be it, though I'm somewhat disappointed with the quantity of loops provided. I've read that you can use Garageband loops with Mixcraft, but I'm a little confused about how to obtain them.

Is there one or two sites you all recommend to download from? I don't mind paying for 100+ loop packages, but I'm not sure where to go. Also, if I download from sites specifically designed for Garageband, how do I get them in my Mixcraft library?

Are there loop packages available for download from Mixcraft themselves?

Thanks!

Heather

Hi,

Check out Opuzz.com and freeloops.co.uk for some more loops.

I don't have any recommended sources for Garageband loops. It really depends on the type of music you're interested in. Try doing a Google search for the type of music you're interested in, along with "Garageband" or "Acid loops" as part of the search terms.

Maybe some other readers of this thread will have some suggestions.

Unlike other Smart Loops titles, which are performed on acoustic instruments, the grooves in Phat to Phreaky come straight from the beatboxes that you hear on todays hottest songs.
