Thisislooplounge ROYALTY FREE LOOPS All DJ's can now be the producers while they mix live!

0:00 You have in front of you the Traktor program

All right, ladies and gentlemen, you have in front of you the Traktor program. Also, there is a gentleman down there from a rather nice website. There's me in the corner as well. And this gentleman here, would you like to introduce yourself, sir? Hi, yes. My name is Guillaume, and I'm the owner of Loop Lounge, which is a sample library, YMT-free, and we are focusing mainly our work on DJ tools, and we create specifically remix sets for DJ Traktor. Great. So what I'll do as well, by the way, is I will put a link in the description to This Is Loop Lounge so you can get all the info there. And, of course, you can find, more importantly, royalty-free loops. Isn't that right? Yes, that's correct. So basically the products which we create is we're working with different producers, some engineers and some designers to create this loop.

And we work specifically for, like I say, for DJ Traktor. So what people can, what you guys can purchase, basically, is a free component. It's a comprehensive remix set, like I have on the screen, helping you to improvise or create remix-like performance with the DJ. All right. And again, you know, there is a bit of a lag with the audio here, but what's going on here is that normally if you imagine, if you're doing, let's say, a mix and you record that mix, then upload it to somewhere on the web, it's not highly likely, but it's possible that it will get flagged. You know what happens? It gets taken down by YouTube and all this, that and the other, doesn't it? You know some of the tracks. Well you're guaranteed to not have, if you do a mix with these loops,

You're guaranteed to not have the mix taken down because they're royalty-free. Also being royalty-free, it means that you can use them as you like, which is great. Go for it my friend. Yeah so you can, because they are royalty-free, if you're a producer, you can use them in your own creation to recreate tracks or isolate it, the drums, or simply use it without paying anyone royalty. So they are simply can be used for anything outside the mixing part. Great. So for example, let's say all of a sudden that there's a guy in America that uses some of the loops, incorporates it in his own sort of samples, and then all of a sudden that track got into the charts and was like number three in the dance charts, would there be any comeback at all? No not at all.

Right great okay well there you go ladies and gentlemen I mean pretty much you can use and abuse it. All right as you can see we've got the track to screen now this isn't on my laptop, this is all the way where are you at the moment from guitar? Yes I'm in Qatar. Qatar sorry Qatar not guitar okay.

3:14 It comes with a license agreement so which is the cover ho

So what I've got in front of me is a Traktor Pro and the deck C and D like you can see have been converted as remix deck. Like I said to you Jonathan, what we created is basically a patch fabric, we're creating a patch for DJ Traktor but as well these samples are available as the wave so as a wave or as a Traktor file. Right that's good. So if you look for instance in the video, the folder if you purchase one of our collection, you've got it comes with artwork cover which is already pre-programmed if you purchase it as a Traktor patch. It comes with a license agreement so which is the cover how to use explaining that they are royalty free but information about what contains the collection and that is how to input it in Traktor if you purchase

A remix set or any bit of information about loop launch. As well which is important to mention is that when you use a normal sample in your mix as a digital tool, often you can find yourself at the samples sounds a bit off or not powerful enough. Yeah. In 90% of the case people who sell these samples are not mastered. What we're doing we find a way a technical way with our sound engineer and master engineer to master this sample so when you push it, when you play it live in a big sound system you don't lack of power. We just put a bit less gain than the normal track so he ordered you to control better the gain on the mixer but otherwise all the mastering process with your compressor everything has been done properly so you don't lose intensity in the mix.

Great. The other things you need to look at is that if you're playing live, if you're playing live, you're going to have a lot of noise. You're going to have a lot of noise. Right. The other thing you need to look at is when you push a Traktor folder from us, so not the wave which are independent but the Traktor patch and you open it so you buy the remix set. You upload it in your Traktor remix set playlist and then you use it. You will see that all our collections are very well organized so you've got the name of a collection, you've got the catalog number but as well all the samples have been categorized in code. So for instance you can see they've been coded in colors,

This is to help you to use it in a more logical way. Great. As well each producer organizes some collaboration in a more different way. This one for instance, the first page is all the drums so you can have easily...

6:14 Second page you will see

Okay? Yep. So you've got definitely a bit but if you go to the second page you will see that, sorry, I've got a little trouble here, you've got only the percussions which you can go play. So sometimes when you play in the mix you just want kicks to add the kicks or you've got to hook from a well-known track and then you get plus that remix. Yep. But we've got as well if you look on the waves, sorry I still have a problem here, on the deck seam you've got that the track is more like a track so you've got a different kind of percussion, the kicks, clap and as well you can have different kind of bass.

Yep nice.

7:32 Commercial track, track mixing, playing favorite

And again you're doing this on the fly aren't you? You know that...

What I'm using is for this demo, for this conversation I'm using the Traktor controller F1. Okay. Which you can see the color basically which you find on the F1 are totally the same one you will find on your deck. Yeah. Okay so if you turn up you can see so you can start, you can control the volume you just need to move. Go here. So you can on this one you can for instance simply use the kick from here and you can easily add a percussion.

I'm thinking as well you've got the two decks there what a DJ could do for example, is they could be playing one of their favorite tracks. Give me just a second, oh yes say it again. You know for example a DJ could be playing one of their favorite tracks or a big club anthem of the time and then bring in some of these loops,

11:15 You see but I'm French and I don't really get your metaphor

You know and then mix in another commercial track so what you're doing is you're not mixing a commercial track with another commercial track you're mixing a commercial track with the loops from This Is Loop Lounge, This Is Loop Lounge into another commercial track. Do you follow? Yeah, you can use that. You can use it to remix so in this way you can remix some, you can set different cue points on one tracks on the deck A for instance, which are the main vocal parts which maybe are already isolated or maybe when this summer Latin Instruments releasing The Steps. The Steps you can play only a few parts of the track so only with a cappella. Yeah. And you can mix using the kick, the snare which we provide because they're already mastered

And sounds great and you can remix for example a track which is rock

Because you've got a cappella to hit like an house track or a drum and bass track or any kind of electro music that you can using this kind of loops. Yeah. You can as well perform live more than before so for instance rather than just mixing and waiting the end of the next track to put another track, you can use to do a long transition. It's very cool if you play house music for instance. Yes. Because you often do long transitions and sometimes it's very I would say

Sometimes you will miss some things you know you feel bass drum and say ah if I got something and this way you can drop, you can drop something from outside like nice or a cappella or vocal or anything which will bring an extra song to the mix. Yeah well yeah it's pretty much what I said earlier you know you've got two really good tracks and instead of mixing those two tracks together you can mix some of the loops into the one track. Yeah. And let that play for like 32 bars just have this really good house kick. Add your own little acapellas over the top, add some samples and then bring the next track in so the analogy I'd give you it's a little bit like the jam inside the two pieces of bread to give you that sandwich.

Do you follow? Yes. You see but I'm French and I don't really get your metaphor. Okay all right now I mean what. Yeah go ahead. Okay yeah. What I'm saying is you know you have a great track playing and then you start to bring in your loops over that great track and then the DJ then can start messing around with the loops and adding tiny segments of the samples and then bring in the next commercial track so you know so what you're doing is you're able to do a complete remix of the loops on the fly in the mix that you're doing. Yeah totally, totally. And what is really cool as well it's true that our collection now we've got nine releases we officially stopped trading maybe seven months ago so it seems like it's not that much but

We learn a lot by listening what our customer approaches at the moment and feedbacks and realize that some people need tools which are not basically always drum based but more melodic. So at the moment we are developing quite a new series of products and some of them have been I think for September I can announce it. The name is not yet decided but we got a producer in Egypt and we've been recording proper Egyptian musicians so percussionists, flute player, voice, field recording. And we've got that is beta versions which I'm loading on the left. If you look on the deck C so we got like a proper Arabic sounding

Yeah which you can easily add so if you go to this deck and put some

Choke let me remove the mute um oh sorry because I've got only one controller on no it's okay okay so you can imagine that on your um on your deck D you've got many of your drums and something a bit cool voila and on drum left you can add your Arabic flavor and give it to second

Let's see if I have something so you can add some on this side you will have some clap

Again I still have one controller so I need to swipe yeah you cannot easily easily yeah but again guys you know what he's doing here he's doing all the things that we do in the video. What's this? This is on the fly so there's...

I think what I'd like to say two things one is that what you're doing is okay

14:55 Something performer, live performance, embrace something

That's all right what what you're doing or what you've done here is you've opened up the possibilities for the run-of-the-mill normal dj who's never produced in their life to be now in a position to produce because even though the samples are almost gone the mix is torn apart and you don't know how well it's going to work. if you're not doing anything wrong you're not doing a good job of saying you know where's my problem too are already made you've you've given the normal run-of-the-mill DJ the chance to start producing their own tracks yes I think we saw a lot of DJ for the last two years professional DJ using remix set and because they're professional they got the facilities forgot the staff over there themselves able to create

Very good quality loops that they use for themselves during their live performance which they don't of course sell because it's what make their personality yeah many of us are not like but good as producer as well and cannot create this route to involve themselves so what we give as well is this kind of using our producer base to have the success to be able to perform live yes and just mixing and perform something like and like I just did I create like 30 seconds 20 seconds of a live performance of a take house track using Arabic vocals and sounds really cool you know yeah I mean okay go on yeah it's going very further than just giving people the possibility to be a producer is really to be a performer yes further down than just being a DJ a basic DJ playing

Track by to back yes like we say it's more than just play track back to back it's really it's really to embrace something new and new possibilities and give something new the main point of that the main focus of being a DJ is always the crowd you know and what makes a huge difference to a DJ to another one is the crowd is how you play and your playlist if you play the top ten of people you can see it's a you want to avoid that to copy everyone but because of this tool you can play melodies which are very well known and recreate them and create something new really improvise and embrace something which is more than just a performer hybrid something in between a performer and a DJ yeah well if you've again if

You've got sync engaged there's no reason why you can't add some of the samples to the tracks that are playing no totally totally it's that is very cool with the technology yeah so it is you don't need to choose the focus of sync to track you can go further up because this is sync options in cash like I said you can be creative without trouble and Tractor got this kind of alternative as well which if you go on the back of a remix set you can decide to love the key uh to decide to add an FX on the loop which you want that's very good yeah that's the options you know and so it's like where it goes you know so very very quickly just to clarify say for example the the key of the track you're playing is C sharp you can go to the loops and set all the

18:55 Our website and you subscribe

Loops to C sharp no not that much it's more like the loop are sent to a to the key which the producer decided yes and if you accelerate you change the BPM yeah and the key lock is not locked the uh the key of a loop will change you know yeah I I see yeah it's it's a bit like disengaging key lock isn't it totally yeah all right very quickly let let's we'll we'll cut to the chase here now um finish this video off but you're going to be at the BPM show the NEC uh 2015. isn't that right yeah hey we got a couple of seminars on discussions from there that will be announced through our newsletter on our website yeah uh we are going to give away uh something to give away it's a promotion discount for the people who are BPM

Yeah this will be inside the BPM guide as well yeah and if you want to try some of our loop it's very simple if you go to our website and you subscribe to the newsletter every person who subscribe to the newsletter will receive a trial back yeah great uh with few loops it's very basic but it's a good idea to improvise to start somewhere and as well if you are a member of our newsletter you'll be seen on regular basic promotion in this good code we should allow you to buy the pack at 20 off in one visa new release we generally all give away 20 is good to every uh great all right then all right gentlemen we'll we'll give sorry I beg I'm like yeah I'm miles away here French name just pronounce that again Guillaume that's it Guillaume

And again my couple of years my dyslexia never helps all right listen it's been a pleasure and again to to you know to to get this video into pretty much 30 seconds here is tractor what this gentleman has enabled people out there to do is to have a whole bunch of loops that are Royalty free so you can use them and abuse them as you like you can make your own remixes you can add them into your mix and also he is going to be at the BPM show NEC 2015 so come and have a word with this

Pleasure thank you very much indeed and I hope to see you again maybe in uh Dubai in the new year who knows yes who knows who knows okay thank you Jonathan all right thank you practice and enjoy a nice one thank you
