Exactly my point. Better yet, write your own music or score from scratch. Composition is a dying art.seattletruth wrote:Prepackaged loops are retarded. Get some good VSTs and make your own. Its all just a scam to trick newbies into buying their crap.
I just don't know if I can bring myself to using loops....

"composition",
never saw this word, is it an 'ableton-live-8-only' device, because I'm still using live 7...
or is it a 3rd-party application?

Loops don't have to be used as loops, you know.
I'll often set up a basic drum loop and jam real live guitar, bass, keys and whatever else over that for 15 minutes or more. I take those recordings, slice out the good parts, store them in clips then jam the clips to create a rough arrangement. I redo the drums to match the arrangement, add vocals, etc. and then fine tune it all.
It's actually a way to create "composed" pieces out of pure jamming. The end result doesn't sound like it was built out of loops at all.
All that said, I do use loops for "real" drums because I can't record drums very well at home.
