Use of Samples, Loops

[daniel481]

Totally with you Matt, although one of the things I forgot to mention is that they're advertising Superior as having "been re-developed for optimized use with e-drums with more effective use of sample layers and much improved loading times".That first part is one of the huge bonuses for me, because I'll be playing the samples using v-drums, but it sounds like they'll be loading a lot quicker, as well.Just out of curiosity, how does Addictive have such fast loading times?

I have no idea...the guy demoing it at NAMM didn't know either, but then he was only a drummer (It's a JOKE! )

Quote:What part of Africa is Sweden from? OMG, that is too funny.This thread is so full of gems, I've already pulled out my super 24K gold ink pen and silk-covered notebook to take some good notes. Seriously guys, this is just what I was looking for. So thanks, matto, mazz, Dan, and Vikki. I did check out AD, and it looks like just the features I might want to have, though I am still considering EZD as an alternative. So first GB then AD or EZD. Thanks again, guys! Now all of us North Americans can sign up for the geography class at the next Rally... In the meantime, go test your geography of Europe here: www.lizardpoint.com/fun/geoquiz/euroquiz.htmlRaags

I'm sitting here LMAO because both my husband and I are totally flunking that geography test. LOL. Totally embarrassing. And to think we were both at the top of our classes... Hey, at least I did know where Sweden was...

Regarding the earlier question of using loops in GarageBand to create/augment commercial music, the following is from the Apple.com support site:Quote:"GarageBand Software. You may use the Apple and third party audio loop content (Audio Content), contained in or otherwise included with the Apple Software, on a royalty-free basis, to create your own original music compositions or audio projects. You may broadcast and/or distribute your own music compositions or audio projects that were created using the Audio Content, however, individual audio loops may not be commercially or otherwise distributed on a standalone basis, nor may they be repackaged in whole or in part as audio samples, sound effects or music beds."So don't worry, you can make commercial music with GarageBand, you just can't distribute the loops as loops.http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html ... =93762That info is regarding Apple's Garageband loops ONLY, so be sure to check licensing info on third party manufacturer loops, as they may have different usage restrictions.Hope that helps. Now, back to the regularly scheduled discussion of drum programs...
