Modus Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Is there a certain popular site people go to for uploading loops? I have a few I want to 'donate' to the internet. Something clean and accessible like Freesound but for loops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoozer Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Why not SoundCloud? Easy to preview, and you can just make the original .wav files downloadable - even use a Creative Commons license. Sure, it's not loop-specific, but you can put enough meta-information in there - tag it as "127 bpm" if you wanted to - to make it easily findable/browsable.

Modus Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 Soundcloud isn't a very good platform for getting discovered though. Plus I already have a Soundcloud and my subscribers, however few, expect full tracks when I post things. I wish Freesound was less lame and allowed these sort of things :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelCityOutlaw Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I always thought electronic artists consider the use of pre-made loops the ultimate sin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoozer Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Soundcloud isn't a very good platform for getting discovered though. lol wut What kind of "discovery" are you hoping for exactly? "Pay me $3K if you want this beat?" Plus I already have a Soundcloud and my subscribers, however few, expect full tracks when I post things. Then make another account. Several producers have more aliases than sharks have teeth, how is this different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modus Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 lol wutWhat kind of "discovery" are you hoping for exactly? "Pay me $3K if you want this beat?" No, I said donate. I just want them somewhere where people actually look for loops. Then make another account. Several producers have more aliases than sharks have teeth, how is this different? OK, but no one will ever find it unless I promote it, and I don't want to promote. That's why Soundcloud is not ideal. I just want it "out there." I just thought there would be a big, popular place for free beats, not full compositions, but maybe not. I always thought electronic artists consider the use of pre-made loops the ultimate sin? Loops can be used in the background to compliment video or whatever, not just producing, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexstyle Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I've used Looperman in the past. There are a few sites out there, but that's the only one I can remember the name of right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modus Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 That looks good enough for me. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
