My friend and yours, Bitshift, has released a sampling of loops for use with GarageBand. It is a preview of an upcoming loop library designed specifically in Apple's loops format, but can be used in any sequencer that uses AIFF files.
Go check em out for yourself, there is a 40MB free sample. http://www.bitshiftaudio.com/products/bbb/free_bee.html Thanks Art fucanay | ||||

What's he doing making free loops for Garageband? Isn't he supposed to be porting Rhino over to the Mac?  | ||||

Never mind that, the fucker was supposed to be doing a remix for me about six months ago!   Lazy twat! | ||||

Or heaven forbid, he actually fixes and/or updates PhatmatikPro. | ||||
| pough | Posted: 20th January 2004 13:45 | |||
Apparently he isn't lazy, he just doesn't bother to do the things he's supposed to do! | ||||

Hey guys,
What about giving Artie a break ? As far as I know he never committed to anyone about getting Rhino / Angelina ported over to mac... He gave it a honest try, and it didn't work out. Things like this happen. 'Tick | ||||

Didn't Art (Bitshift) say something to the effect of 'loop slicing is so last year?' I guess canned loop libraries for apple are 'in' this year.
(Sorry, couldnt resist after all the ranting) | ||||
| pough | Posted: 20th January 2004 14:14 | |||
Nobody gets a break!
Just having a laugh, 'Tick. I don't really care one way or another, since Rhino and Angelina are both working just fine on my PC.  | ||||

Ah come on guys. Art's a good guy. And this is just something he is doing. And it is for a new program that is an easy to use loop and audio production tool. I for one am glad to see it. Being able to expand on the Apple loop libraries is a great thing.

Ah, nothing against Art. That was just a little dig about a "bug" (or maybe it's a feature) I have with PhatPro. Art marches to his own tune, which is cool with moi. | ||||

I dont think Apple Loops are just "canned loop libraries", or just another loop slicing format. According to Bitshift, they offer some very interesting possibilities. http://www.osxaudio.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=53997 Sounds quite revolutionary to me.

Slow downloadin' though... | ||||

Woo yeah. It even incorporates a few "oddball" ideas about looping formats that I've had over the past two years. Amazing what one can stuff into an EA IFF 85 file, no?

There are some pretty wild loops in here. But pHATMaticPro won't load these loops in FLS or Sonar. Why is that? Live 3.02 for WinXP can load them though.

I stand corrected. Makes me curious if 'Metagroove' was the next thing he had hinted at. | ||||
| Markleford | Posted: 20th January 2004 20:36 | |||
I don't think the PC version of PPro supports AIFF, does it? - m | ||||

| Art you STAR..
wow.. i'll try and get these when i'm over in Dublin tonight.. my copy of garageband arrived yesterday and i was truly thrilled by these apple loops in action.. i also downloaded the SDK last week. and have been making up a few apple loops of my own... this is a fun time for us mac people
