Big Fish Audio released two new music loop collections for musicians to help create new music.
Jun 08, 2021 Spitefire LAB drums — great sounding free kit. MT Power Drumkit 2 — acoustic drums, one of the best free drum VSTs. SSD Free — basic version of Steven Slate Drums, one kit included. Drumactic 3 — now Drumatic 4, free version only offered as a demo. T.REX 606 — made from a Roland TR-606 drum machine. I use Garage Band to lay down rhythm tracks to help me practice playing swing jazz guitar, in particular Django Reinhardt-style gypsy jazz. It would be nice to have swing drums loops to lay down underneath these recordings, but nothing in the loop library that comes with Garage Band 3 fits the bill. What is the best source of swing jazz drum loops?

Silicon Beats offers all of our loops in the popular ‘Garageband Loops’ format – also known as ‘Apple Loops’. When you purchase any of our Drum Loop packs you get to download a ZIP file which contains your drum loops in these formats:
- APPLE LOOPS – AIFF format for Garageband and Logic on Mac OSX and iOS.
- WAV Files – (Acidized). The industry standard for years. Almost All audio applications can handle WAV.
- REX2 – For use in Reason Refills, Cubase, Sonar/Project 5 and many more DAW applications.
We had so many users asking for us to supply Garageband loops in the ‘Apple Loops’ format that we simply had to listen. After some intense weeks of locating hit points and specifying meta data for the Garageband Loops in our library, we finally completed the conversion and are now proud to offer this new format.
Mac users will pay no extra charge for Garageband Loops, everybody pays one price and gets all formats.
What are Apple Loops?
Garageband Jazz Drummers
Apple loops are specially formatted AIFF files which work in Garageband and Logic for Mac OSX. Apple loops contain unique meta data which tells Garageband or Logic certain things about the file, such as where the transient hit points are, what type of instrument is being played, the tempo, time signature and other information.
