I'm curious about how people use loops. I can see where they might be good for inspiration, or if they contained instruments/sounds you couldn't make yourself, especially if you could transform them (change speed, extract stems and replace the loop's instruments with your own). But otherwise they seem a lot like trading card booster packs--you pay a decent chunk of money for a pack of loops, and then you have to hope that even a tiny number of them suit your purpose.
I guess they'd work best if you started with them--like if you had no idea what your instrumental, or maybe even your lyrics, were going to be. You could then build everything else on top of one/more of them. But if you had much more than a topic for your lyrics in mind, I think using a loop would be hard.
So, thoughts?
