'Essential Muso fodder.'
If you could imagine a geeky telly channel for producers and DJs. It would look a bit like Loop TV. For those of us who like watching technical interviews of top d 'n' b, house and techno producers, watching video reviews and tutorials of music kit, then Loop TV is the place to be.
Loop TV has been running for a while now, and is related to the more famous Loopmasters series of sample CDs. But here you'll find top quality content. The idea being to take the Loopmasters brand and make it meaningful in a world where contcnt is king and everyone is looking for support, tips and tricks in this world of technobabble.
Included are tutorials for top software such as FL Studio, Ableton, Cubase, Logic and the like. There are also plenty of tips, studio techniques. interviews, plus up-to-date news and links to even more great content from partner companies. Stay tuned by subscribing to their feeds or social networks.
Loopmasters itself is the best source for royalty free samples. It's a famous (since 1999) longrunning brand for producers worldwide and deals with some of best sample labels around. However, if you are a cheapskate, steer clear! Good samples are hard to come by but some can be costly. Most Loopmaster samples are the best ones that most professionals will really need, so the cost is justified. You can search, listen (audition) and buy online,
Back to the Loop TV part of the site though. Each month the site puts together a 20 min ‘Rewind’ video podcast of their artist, label and tutorials' videos edited together into one viewing experience.
Essentially Loop TV has alot of really good content all in one place. The site is really clean and designed well, and is the best place to stop if you are looking for some DJing or production tips and tricks. Njoy!
