Re: Breaking out of the box / loop music samples

[Doug Cox <dougcox@pdq.net>]

Everytime I read something like this, I get a little grumpy about the 
friggin solid week I spent putting up the Looper's Delight File Library, 
which has a grand total of  13 sound files on it (and has been available 
for almost 2 years).

Mike, you can find a few samples there.

I don't think it's a question of available resources or tools.  I think 
it's that musicians in general, and loopers specifically, are an 
independent bunch, and aren't real motivated to build a shared music 
resource.  No sour grapes, honest.  But if you really *want* to, there 
IS a resource available to you at the Looper's Delight website.
