I'm learning everytime I open SO3 the last days.so powerful. Indeed I'm quite new on sampler and midi. i think you will be most happy with that power kit. it has good samples AND there are a lot of good grooves that come with it. I probably told dave at least a couple of times thanks for that kit. we ALL started from scratch too at some point. you just need to find some good samples for them but i take it you are fairly new to samplers and midi and such. they are just samplers (play little wave files of drum hits or any sound actually) and they work fine for the most part. not trying to knock impact or presence but their standard kits didn't impress me either. it is the best i ever found and i used it a lot to start with. lol j/k but dave (sirmonkey) is right about that free kit. Sure, go with Loop loft or Groove Monkey among others. Find the path that suits you, though realism takes a little work, but the results can be gratifying. You can, but I've found Impact largely works well, and you can layer with it.Īs a drummer, I don't do loops, but if you find that works for you, sure, drop them in, or you can slice and dice loops into Rex files with Reason or a few other options. I use BFD2, and Battery 3 and 4 a lot, but I've kept those sounds intact and not really added to those libraries. Just make sure you can create layers cause the real essence of drums is utilizing multi layers for a dynamic feel. The one even offered by simonkey looks pretty cool, so try it out. You can opt to throw in loops, via drag & drop or use an instrument like presence, Impact, or other. Hi Anthothedude, Great question and no question is ever silly, when it's genuine, because we all have questions and something to learn, bud. but I'm not sure I can run them without download/buy first a 3rd party plugin (EZDrummer for example).

I need more Rock/Pop/Indie drum loops, and I found The Loop Loft was a quite good site for this. The midi drum loops we can find from The Loop Loft for example, these loops can be just played as other drum loops we can have with SO1? I mean, do I need a 3rd party plugin to play these midi loops, like an EZDrummer? Or is it just a drag and drop on the track and just play the song, just like other drum loops in SO1 like 'Acoustic drum loops'?
