DRUM by Loopcloud | Creating Unique Beats in Seconds & Review of Key Features

[@entyce66]

nice!!! they’re so many plug ins like this out now idk which one to choose

[@beats4lyricists]

Thank you for the Multi Output part. I was doing everything EXCEPT putting the monitor to IN.

[@PluginBoutiqueOfficial]

Glad you got it figured out! - JC

[@nomorel7884]

How do you get Drum to search through a specific sample folder that you have uploaded to Loopcloud? Version 1.5 had an option to browse by My Samples. Version 2 thats gone

[@Spineloro]

Amazing!! Anything comes instantly and sounds great✨ love it❤️

[@auggiebendoggy]

Taking the time with Drum and all I can say is it's fantastic. Lots of potential. Love the store built in and you can just purchase the library right there with points! Fantastic. Loopcloud, suggestion: the pattern editor would be nice if we could see all the drums much like in Groove Agent's pattern editor. Seeing only the one drum at a time makes it a bit clunky to write patterns. Also the pattern editor and the keyboard pattern player should be on the same screen. I get confused moving about. Just some thoughts. Still fantastic drum module.

[@KevKruz]

I prefer it the way that it is. Less is more!

[@KevKruz]

Hey @JoshuaCasper... is there a way to import patterns? midi? a source for more patterns other than the packs? - Is there a setup for using a midi controller and playing in patterns?

[@hachereal7328]

i have this same question

[@issiewizzie]

Good work Joshua thanks

[@Nomo_Popo]

Impressive!

[@luisvalenzuela578]

ready fot beatport fame

[@CestLaVie73]

how I know which key I can use when locking tuner?

[@FurebyMusic]

Where can I change key of the overall Loopcloud Drum plugin?

[@auggiebendoggy]

Is it possible to set the grid to 32nd notes or higher?

[@thedeeprot]

💪💪💪

[@BigDaddySmoOG]

What Ableton Live skin are you using? It looks sweet!

[@Juliano_DJOL]

Bout to blow my phone speakers talking lol

[@quiverytoast]

Looks awesome, but can I add 3rd Party Sample Libraries? I have hundreds of them in folder structure on my HDD (as will many other producers). Is it possible to add these folders to Loopcloud Drum and have it automatically work out and tag the samples for use within the engine? I'm used to using Atlas 2 which can do exactly this. However, if Loopcloud Drum can do the same I would be interested in purchasing it as I like the look of the interface and workflow for quickly creating and generating new midi ideas.

[@Nomo_Popo]

I'm curious if Atlas tagged those samples, so then I assume those tags are kept in its own database, which then what would be nice is if the Atlas and Loopcloud database are compatible with each other, perhaps in a simple form like a .json or probly .db file

[@quiverytoast]

@@Nomo_Popo Sorry my use of the word “tags” was slightly misleading there. Atlas doesn’t tag the samples loaded into its database. At least not in the same way Loopcloud Drum appears to do so in this video. What Atlas does is scans any Sample Library folders you point it to, and then algorithmically works out what each one is (I.e. Kicks, Claps, Shakers, Hats, etc…). So all you have to worry about as the user, is which sample pad/box on the interface you tell it to load a random sample into, and it just works. (E.g. you hit the “load random” button on the kick pad button and Atlas loads a random Kick out of the 1000’s of Samples you’ve got sitting within the folders that you’ve specified it to look through). Hope this makes sense.

[@quiverytoast]

@@Nomo_Popo Oh, unless what you’re wondering is whether or not Atlas actually does tag those samples on the back end? Like in a metadata sense - so those tags could then potentially be loaded into Loopcloud Drum? If that’s what you’re meaning then I’m not sure, but it’s an interesting thought 🤔

[@JoshuaCasper]

Yes. You can import any of your samples into DRUM. They will be copied to Loopcloud and Looplcoud will tag them all automatically with its AI. You can then go into Loopcloud and make edits or add tags as well.

[@quiverytoast]

@@JoshuaCasper Awesome, thanks for answering that question for me Josh. When you say “they will be copied to Loopcloud”, does that mean I have to have a paid Loopcloud membership, or do you simply mean they will be copied to the Loopcloud application locally?

[@flexlabz]

How do you take the samples out and add them to a drum rack? Is that feature no longer possible?

[@PluginBoutiqueOfficial]

You can drag and drop samples into DRUM and use the export function to export anything :) - JC

[@jameshutchins7042]

Joshua is this like loopcloud do I have to be online to use it or is this like any other vst.

[@peecee2000]

I think you just drop it onto a track & use it like any other VST. If you use the Drum plug-in as part of your Loopcloud subscription it has to go online to access your account & make your kit sounds available.

[@jameshutchins7042]

Thank you for clearing that up. I was interested then thought I hope this doesn't have to be online every time to work. Thanks

[@peecee2000]

@@jameshutchins7042 From the Plugin Boutique Drum product page “The Loopcloud application is installed with Loopcloud DRUM. It is required to be running on your computer for Loopcloud DRUM to work.” I take it then that you don’t have to be online because the Loopcloud app will automatically open when you put Drum on a track in your DAW.

[@PluginBoutiqueOfficial]

You will need to be online the first time you use it. Loopcloud Drum downloads samples as you need them, so you would need to be online for that.. However, if you download your entire library from Loopcloud on your first use, then everything will be available offline. - JC

[@carlosjazzpick]

Amazing! I can see in PB each bundle cost $79. But, what is the price for DRUM + the 3 drum packs?

[@radiosmith8207]

💎🚀

[@AnthonyLeaton]

Question, you can generate a totally random pattern by pressing one button like Instacomposer?

[@PluginBoutiqueOfficial]

You can load patterns from other presets to do something like it. - JC

[@Peter-gu9ph]

Yes you can - just click the grey GENERATE button in the bottom right corner of the Sequencer panel (i.e. not the blue Generate button which randomises the samples assigned to the pads). It will create a new variation of whatever instrument's pattern is displayed in the sequencer (i.e. the instrument's pad currently selected).

[@AnthonyLeaton]

@@Peter-gu9ph ahh cool. That's where I was going wrong... I was driven to the blue button :D

[@tacoregensburg6164]

i seem not to get the vst to work in either bitwig 4.1, flstudio 20.9 or live 11. it keeps crashing. it seems not to be able to load the first kit and then freezes. other people similar problems? can only find a threat on this from 2 years ago. loopcloud states no issues with major DAW's... jaja

[@PluginBoutiqueOfficial]

Hello. I'm sorry to hear you are having an issue. Please, contact [e-mail] and they will help get you sorted out :) - JC

[@Kris_jellybeard]

Interested but love to know what are the standard kits that come with the vst, it is nowhere listed.

[@Peter-gu9ph]

I have just counted them... The Loopcloud DRUM installation currently comes with 44 different Drumkits across a huge range of genres - each Drumkit has 1 Preset pattern with multiple variations - up to 8 variations in some cases, labelled as patterns A through to H. It's a good start but you'll probably want to add more genre-specific Drumkits and Patterns.

[@auggiebendoggy]

When drum is loaded as a VST, it launches loop cloud, can this be turned off?

[@PluginBoutiqueOfficial]

At the moment, no it can not as Drum uses Loopcloud to function. - JC

[@MattStevens9824]

@Plugin Boutique May I clarify? Do you need a monthly paid Loopcloud account for Loopcloud Drum or is this completely stand-alone for PB account holders? TIA!

[@PluginBoutiqueOfficial]

If you buy this version from Plugin Boutique, it is just like any other plugin and you do not need a Loopcloud subscription. Hope that helps :) - JC

[@suntanbear4763]

I have a loopcloud subscription and use Drum a lot. Is there an option to buy sample pack bundles without the licence for Drum?

[@PluginBoutiqueOfficial]

Hello Andrew, at the moment the bundle's are only available via the Plugin Boutique purchase avenue, however, we are working on making them available to Loopcloud subscribers. - JC

[@ojaix555]

I have a Loopcloud subscription and have already purchased many kits for drums. If I discontinue my subscription will I still be able to use those kits in this paid version of Drum? Also would like to be sure if it's the same for Loopcloud Play.

[@PluginBoutiqueOfficial]

Hello. Please, send your question to [e-mail] and they'll let you know the specifics for you :) - JC

[@Peter-gu9ph]

Just to clarify Re: the 2 Loopcloud apps you can buy (currently only available from Plugin Boutique) - Loopcloud DRUM and Loopcloud PLAY - neither of these require a subscription - you buy a license to use them forever and can just buy sample packs if and when you like. These apps will also add ALL your previous Loopmaster and Loopcloud purchases to your library (just sync the apps with your existing Loopmasters account), again without the need for a monthly subscription. Hope this helps! I recommend you download the kits you purchased to your hard drive before you end your subscription just to be sure you can still access. Joshua shows how to do this in the video - highlight them all in the loop cloud app and select Download in Background.

[@ojaix555]

@@Peter-gu9ph Thanks a lot. Very helpful.

[@michaelpaul3481]

Hey When I render to midi and import into my daw there’s no sound? Anyone have this issue? I’m in flstudio

[@PluginBoutiqueOfficial]

Hello. MIDI needs instruments it doesn't produce sound on its own. You you will need to use some other drum rack/instrument. Hope that helps. - JC

[@Xstatic1975]

Do you need a loopcloud subscription (monthly costs) for this?

[@discobole]

No

[@PluginBoutiqueOfficial]

No. This will have full functionality without a Loopcloud subscription when you purchase via Plugin Boutique as a VST Plugin. - JC

[@Kris_jellybeard]

@@PluginBoutiqueOfficial What are the kits you get with the standard 55$ VST? can you list them or have a video walkthrough? Can you later on buy (in a store?) the Trap, Bass kits etc?

[@Peter-gu9ph]

[@Peter-gu9ph]

@@Kris_jellybeard OK quick update - I just checked again and Loopcloud just added 6 more FREE kits to my library - so now there's 50 Drumkits that came with the Loopcloud DRUM VST (i.e. the non-subscription plugin bought from Plugin Boutique), each kit has at least 1 preset pattern. Here's hoping they keep adding free kits...

[@BulletproofProductionsBeats]

I have a Loopcloud subscription but I can't find the packs you used in the video anywhere in the Loopcloud or Loopcloud Drum store, am I missing something? I have the latest version installed Thanks in advance

[@nomorel7884]

I couldnt either

[@Peter-gu9ph]

The 3 Expansion Packs are currently only available at Plugin Boutique - these are House and Techno Rush, Hip Hop and Trap Flow & Bass Music Adrenaline.

[@auggiebendoggy]

Now if only LC can make it stable. Very buggy in all kinds of ways. Sad because this vst has the potential to be a serious contender to other drum modules out there.
