Why use Audio Loops and Sample Packs?

Audio loops and sample packs can be used to add variety and depth to music production. Loops are in either MIDI or wave form and can be layered and mixed together to create interesting rhythms and melodies.

Sample packs are collections of audio samples, often organized by sound, vibe, genre, or instrument. Samples can be used to lay the foundation of a new song or melody, or they can be used to add sound effects, drums, and other elements on top of a track.

Both loops and sample packs are sometimes referred to as beat templates because they save both time and effort when you make beats or write songs. The pre-made sounds and arrangements can easily be added to your project and give you a starting point. Additionally, they can be used to add unique and diverse sounds to a production, that might not be available in your studio setup.

Samples are also commonly used to revive previously released songs or genres. Hip Hop producers — for example — frequently sample old jazz, blues, and soul records on their beats to add authenticity and pay tribute to the roots of the genre.

How to get started

When you’ve logged into the Soundtrap Studio, open up a new project and click on the note icon in the upper right corner. This opens up the Loop Library where you can browse through a variety of categories, like Hip Hop, Rock, Sound FX, Drums, Piano, MIDI, and Vocals. Or you can search for specific sounds based on instrument, style, genre, vibe, format, artist or song, etc.

Preview any sound or loop before adding them and save the ones you want to keep for later. Once you’ve decided on a loop, add them to a new track and start building.

Soundtrap’s DAW lets you change the speed and pitch of a loop, as well as key and scale. You can also chop up samples and add effects to the sound. There are no limits to your creativity here so feel free to play around with any instrument or loop you choose.
