When it comes to laying down beats in your bedroom, they don’t come much better than the Fruity Loops Sound Studio. The popular application has become renowned for its powerful mixing and editing tools, and perhaps its only drawback is the fact that there are never enough samples bundled with it.
However, there are plenty of sites around that offer royalty-free loops and samples for you to play about with. For instance, Q-Music serves up a bumper selection of top quality royalty free music tracks via download. While if it’s drum loops you’re looking for then Silicon Beats is a good bet, as it packages thousands of loops into easily downloadble packages. Perhaps our favourite though is Platinum Loops, a whopper of a site where you seem to be able to get hold of anything from bangara basslines to flute samples. What’s more you can get hold of a decent selection of free loops.
