24/16bit Downloadable Loop Packs

[James Johnson]

I know many of you are musicians as well as listeners and wanted to let ya'll know that I've begun to add ACIDized loops to the STORE area of my site.

Not sure if any of you know, but I've been creating,editing and finalizing ACID loops for "Sonic Foundry" now Sony Creative Software for the past 9 years and counting. The loops I'll be offering will span a wide range of genres, but always be centralized in the roots of ambient / cinematic music. The loops will be offered in sets of 10 containing BOTH 16 & 24bit versions within each set.

This is straight along the lines of the work I do for Saul Stokes and his http://www.blipdrums.com portal. Only difference being that these loops will be much less "percussion" based and more focused on the melodic side. I have 3 sets available now and will be adding more over the weekend.

What no Apple loops?  I know, their's no pleasing some people.    Good luck with this James, sounds like an interesting idea, maybe I should start selling some gamelan loops.

I hate to spread extremely harsh, negative gossip, but... I think James is a Windows guy!

thanks Loren..

Actually ACID loops work just fine in Apple's product. The main programmer and developer for Apple's product is the guy that originally helped design ACID....ACID is still the original..

I had great hope for BeOS back in the 1990s, what are you using that for these days James? I didn't know it was still around.

I'm using on to run SnyC Modular still...on a Piii 400 Fujitsu Pen Computer.....love using old technology and old software...besides the Pen Computer only uses about 20 watts max and can easily be powered via a solar panel...it's a funky DIY set-up...I'm all about being a tree huggin environmental friendly ambient artist...

I liked many things about BeOS but it was one of those operating systems that never caught on to enough of a degree that any decent apps were available for it.

And I'm not as completely anti-Windows as I might seem sometimes -- don't get me wrong, Windows DOES suck, but it's also so ubiquitous as to have its uses in some areas -- but it's fun to stir the pot once in a while.  Also I agree that Win 2k pro is the best version of Windows there has ever been.

I had another one but can't find it in my current bookmarks. I'll post it later when I sift through mail for the site.

A bit off-topic, but I have to say I really enjoy your music James, especially your piano playing.  I'd only heard "Forgotten Places" and I was wondering if you'd recorded any more albums....
then I visited your site. hahaha.  You have a lot of albums!  I'm previewing a lot of them right now, enjoying your sounds.

Cheers,

Mirko
