Arranging MAGIX Soundpool sound loops
Up until now, you have only been working with your own material. Next, we
would like to show you how to build your own songs using the included
Soundpool loops.
MAGIX Soundpools offer professionally produced, short audio files - so-called
"samples". They have been produced to be perfectly combined with each
other and looped. "Looping" means creating an entire instrument track from a
single audio sample. This entails replaying the sample sequentially to provide
the impression of a repeating musical leitmotif. This process is used today in
almost every area of modern pop music.
It's best to create a new, empty arrangement first. Click "File" and select the
option "New virtual project (VIP)".
Click the "Manager" button and select the tab "Soundpool" to display the
Soundpool samples.
The "styles" are displayed on the left side of the Soundpool manager. If you
have inserted a MAGIX Soundpool DVD, for example, then you can select a
style here to display only those samples which were created for a particular
style. Samplitude 11.5 Producer shows "Rock" because this style is included.
Next, select the instruments that you want to use. At the start, we recommend
choosing a drum sample to create the initial percussive structure. Open up the
"Drums" folder.
To preview, click once on a file in the Soundpool manager file list. To load it,
drag the desired file to the track. Once you let go of the mouse button, the file
will appear as an audio object at that position.
