I've come across many brands of loops and Magix is the only one I know that are not royalty free. I wasn't really impressed with Magix loops. Back when Acid was under Sonic Foundry then Sony there was some really impressive stuff and you don't see those anymore. I only buy stuff that comes also with midi, presets and one shots. I use to be a sucker during the holidays when ADSR would have 15 packs for $20.
They aren't complete songs but maybe 30 sec. of music. They have their uses for a commercial or a DJ needs filler stuff. They can be frustrating to work with because you can't get them to sound the way you want. I often get them to study. I find the ones that are bloated to 3gb are not always as useful as one that are 700mb.
After NI acquired Loop Loft it seems like they are forgotten. The Loop Loft weekly offer was a big thing in Deals.
What's the warranty on these things? I'd assume these are the "RME" of chairs. Buying one would get far more use than buying chairs for $100 over a time that claim 6-8 hours of daily use which is about right for small pets.
Overrated for me. It's like marketing has to replace the 808's. I guess users think those are really cool to make sounds from scratch but they will only impress your DAW buddies. Reason to me was always modular. Reaktor was an early modular environment. It seems modular may be more popular in the hardware environment.
At what point does the reinventing the wheel of drum libraries stop for the end user? I could see getting the midis but I wouldn't know a tremdous difference if I used the basic Toontrack kit. I would notice if I ran those midis on a great metal kit.
Another why did I buy this, I'm more into the electronic scene. I'm not a fan of big bloated drum packages and I have not downloaded all of my MDrummer library. I guess it was a $50 no brainer that no brains were used in this decision.
I read the list of these changes and it's like trying to read a different language. Most of it is beyond my comprehension. I think it is the best DAW out there but so far I've never gotten deep into it.
I never buy a cup of coffee. I have enough K cups, ground, and whole bean. Just like this library I have enough to do the same thing. I also wouldn't pay 5.50 for a cup of coffee. Comparing DAW deals to food just doesn't make sense. Both can contribute to bloat but one is easier to delete.
