Instructions on using your
downloaded drum loops.

When you download your drum loop package and open the master loop folder, you will notice that there are folders labeled Wet & Dry.  Downloaded drum loops consist of various size loops.  Verse and chorus loops are 1 to 4 bars in length.  Fill loops are 2 beats to 2 bars in length.  There are drum samples included in each loop package.  The Wet folder contains stereo acid wave files of various Verses, Choruses, Fills and Samples.  When working with "Wet" loops you may want to input your stereo mix files to correspond with your existing music and then add your cymbal crashes to the appropriate spots which is usually coming out of a fill into a new section such as a chorus. (Example 1)
