Inspiration Sounds reviews – Funked Up Acid and Apple Loops

Jan from Inspiration Sounds was kind enough to let me have copies of some of its latest releases; namely the wonderful Funked Up Apple Loops and Funked Up Acid Loops!

Following the initial unzip into wav files, these loops are just pure quality, with everything neatly labelled; drums, percussion, bass, horns and voice all in their own individual files, and labelled with their individual BPM as they were recorded.

So it’s just a case of drag, drop, try it out. If it’s good, copy it, and paste the hell out of it!

I’ve made a demo track which you can listen to below. All of the instruments on the demo are pretty much straight out of the box – no fx, compressions, EQ – nothing.

The only two things I did to any of the tracks on here are:

1. Time stretch in order to make some of my favourite samples fit into the 120BMP tempo. All the loops that I tried still sounded great after doing so.

2. Cut and splice a couple of bass and horn parts together to get the notes/rhythm I wanted. I did that in Audacity, so it’s about as simple as you’re going to get!

Note – you might hear a horn part towards the end which sounds like I’ve put some ambience on it. Not so. It was just a case of staggering where I inserted the loop by a couple of milliseconds or so.

This was done in about an hour. I’m really happy with where it’s going, and fully expect a chart hit in about 6 weeks.

Enjoy!
