Production

Power Tools: Software for Loop MusicAugust 19, 2004

Backbeat Books' newest addition to the Power Tools
series, Power Tools: Software for Loop Music, explores
the creative and technical aspects of loop-based
composition, helping musicians to master this form.

An opening chapter of this essential guide serves as a
sampling primer, explaining elements of sound quality,
common sampling pitfalls, editing techniques, and loop
arrangement tools. Once readers are up to speed, they
will gain vital information on the most popular
software tools and techniques such as audio
engineering, sampling, sound design, mixing, and live
performance. Every chapter offers tips and tricks that
professionals use to make the most of their loop
libraries, and there's an indispensable section on the
legal aspects of sampling that explains the process of
licensing existing recordings step-by-step.

Readers can apply these lessons immediately with the
included CD-ROM, which contains demo and lite software
versions of many of the tools discussed (in both Mac
OS and Windows versions). As a bonus, the CD-ROM also
offers over 250 megabytes of license- and royalty-free
loops and samples in a variety of musical styles sure
to get music manipulators' creative juices flowing and
their music looping.

The author, remixer and composer Francis Preve, is an
expert in synthesis, engineering, and production. A
contributing editor for Keyboard magazine since 2000,
he has also written for EQ, Electronic Musician, and
Music and Computers.

Price: $24.95, ISBN: 0-87930-800-1.
