Anyone know of any good sites to download high quality house style percussive loops?
I have plenty of sample CD's but they are a bit dated to be honest. I wanted to see if there was a noticeable difference with any newer loops (in terms of style and quality) before actually buying another CD.
House Music???

you ever go back and read your old postsdjadonis206 wrote:Sample sample sample - got some house records?
Sample the loops at the beginning and end of some records or something cool in the middle - basic percussion stuff not the main riff's
Ableton's dope, mix and match your loops until you get the right combo
take the low end out (if you want to) and add a monster Kick from Microtonic, make a 4 - 4 clip and couple good breaks with the kicks
add a clap on the 2 and 4
now - go to your funk classics via CD or record - CD's are cleaner
find the perfect funky loop - cut it out, stretch it in Ableton - import it into Recycle, turn your grid on and cut it on the 1/4's 1/8's or 1/2 beats - what ever works for you
Open Ableton back up with your drum loops and breaks and claps
Rewire a couple instances if the Dr Rex player in Ableton - on both instances import your recycled funk loop
if the loop is cut up in 1/4 beats you can draw in quarter beats until you get a new rythme going - send that midi out to both Dr Rex's
One Dr. rex drop a low end filter over the top and on the other, a high end filter - squeeze the bass out of the low end with a compressor and add some delay or reverb to the high end - sounds nothing like the original loop now - bring both Dr rex's back in Ableton bussed to one track...put a low end filter over that so you can open and close everything at once
Now sequence the whole thing - get a girl to come over and give you a nice chorus and maybe some backing vocal effects
Add a couple swooshes and other un worldly effects to the critical parts of the track
send it off to your favorite dj's and hopefully blow up and get signed to Sneaks label.
house music all night long!

c'mon guys... there must be some life outside 4x4 tedious beats here. 
just teasin' the house boys around.
ain't a troll, just someone who gets easily bored with repetitions.

I hate the kind of sorry-ass "loop it, press it, rake in the money" house music that is 95% of the genre these days, but I have a deep and abiding love for the real deal (esp. everything in the general sphere of Mr. Fingers' style.) House, tech-house, techno, future soul... whatever. It's all music.
It's not about finding the perfect compressor for your kick drums, the guaranteed killer hi-hat patterns, or the right ten soul records to sample. If you think it is, you should question your motivations.
Jack!

the most important for me is to have the right collection of sound samples midi's and plug ins.
I couldnt get past ordinary sounds untill i got my hand on plug in synths.
You can get loads of free ones and not so free online. search 'vsti' on google.
The reason i use midi is so I can snap loops or create my own. lay on the vsti and all of a sudden club/house sounds. next most important thing is the beats. clear simple beats with hopping snare to give it that marching feel.
