I Tried the Loopcloud Drum VST Plugin So You Don't Have Too!

[@Juliano_DJOL]

What I like better than the drum vst is the seq fx (filters), I like making little construction kits for beats, normally like a few samples chopped up different ways or w different filters/fx. I think it keeps me from getting distracted when making a beat too, like I know where I'm going with the beat and can see the big picture!

I luv ur reviews u don't sugarcoat nobody

that abrupt ending >>>>>

Good review, Ave. You got give us all of the NAMM deets this week especially any Akai news.

[@AveMcree]

I'll think about it

[@Yertaiofficial]

Dope drums

[@AveMcree]

Yeah the DnB kit hit's the spot. Even the UK Garage kit was nice

[@bryantwalley]

3:48 Toni Basil - Hey Mickey. Took me way back on that one.

[@blakdavisboy]

Nice beat! Started out sounding like Hey Ya! Ended up sounding like When Doves Cry! YouAh DJ for real huh!?😁

[@paradoxic1888]

Tried it out as you get a free 1 month subscription with Bitwig. Can't believe it doesn't have audio routing, that's a deal breaker for me, but overall not bad. Really like the sample randomizer, got some nice combos going from my own sample folder just by randomizing all pads.

[@loopmasters2]

it does have audio routing now

[@88keyz]

Yeah that sample randomizer is dope lol 👍🏾

[@AveMcree]

it would be better if you could use it w/o the subscription...lol

[@88keyz]

@@AveMcree its possible I just can't share the how too lol 😉😉😉

[@brandenjoak]

Great video!

[@Juliano_DJOL]

Battery 4 still the king of my drum kitZ, even tho it has a ton of bugs and flaws it does the major things right! Crazy all these VSTs and drum machine plug ins coming out and how few of them have the MUSTs like a good library structure and a decent tagging system! Most of them just wanna find a way to shove sample packs that you don't need up your butt or they have a million features but none of the basics, smh!

[@Juliano_DJOL]

So do alot of people that use the new MPCs (live/studio) use the MPC beats daw/app? I wasn't too big on it the few times I messed with it...but didn't spend long in it.

[@TranceCore3]

the MPC comes with the full version of that software, and it's a great daw to use it it with. It's also a vst and can be used inside other daws, and you get the same benefits as if you used it by itself

[@DJNOVE97]

My brother. So far so good I am enjoying my new MPC live 2. I love the standalone which I don't have to be connected to my computer to make beats.

[@AveMcree]

🤘🏾it’s magical

[@Juliano_DJOL]

I really like loopcloud but damn they make a mess of the library and folder structure smh! It's like no one that developed it has any file management skills, just folders on folders on folders, if they cld find a way around that or a better way to view and pick samples (out of my library) then it wld be perfect IMO! Funny cause I never seem to struggle when in the store...

[@FelipePerez-ti7eo]

cool vids thanks for the content

[@AveMcree]

my pleasure

[@umanoid1523]

I picked up a discount sub during black Friday last year. I used it a bit but haven't touched it in a while now. I've been using samples and kits from maschine and digging through my own collection of random samples I've hoarded over the years. I've tried the drums but can't say I love the pre-made kits enough to use them over the kits I already have. I dunno how many kicks and hi hats and snares can one possibly use and own anyway? When I make tracks I also often go to a basic 808 kit anyway to start my tracks and build from there. I still just l Iove that sound.

[@88keyz]

Been using it from the day it dropped lol its grate 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@DJNOVE97]

Whats up brother. Do you have a video on how to use Ableton Live 10 with the MPC live VST plugin and how to set it up and MPC IN TO Ableton Live 10? I can only see the MPC live VST plugins on FL Studio as a VST but I do not know how to set up the MPC live on Ableton as an vst. If you have a video can you send it to me or can you make a video in the future. thanks Abel

[@bagdood69]

Can I use my mpd226 for loops?

[@DrDeese]

MPC gang forever

[@hurryandcatchupquick4000]

its no extra cost comes with the sample library why not, but its whacky for sure

[@LYTEHOUSE7]

can you route individual drum sounds to separate outputs to mix them further in the box of the loopcloud itself??? Didn't see where you can do that. Anyone know the answer to that?

[@AveMcree]

Yes, it’s called “explode” under the track option menu. I’ll do a quick video on it

[@LYTEHOUSE7]

@@AveMcree YOU'RE THE BEST. THANKS FOR YOUR QUICK RESPONSE! THAT'S A PLUS.

[@Peter-gu9ph]

BTW Loopcloud DRUM now has audio routing... 16x stereo outs...

[@MuzuyaMishima]

Idk if you already did a this but Surge vst got some pretty good stuff in it plus a effect rack and its free. May be good for a free download friday.

[@AveMcree]

I need to check that out

[@Juliano_DJOL]

Might have to check that one

[@pdelonn]

Need more Roland mv-1 videos please sir.

[@AveMcree]

you know those are coming

[@russelledwards2405]

I think you are not that excited for similar reasons I am not excited. It simply gives me something I already have with an accompanying new workflow to learn something you don't need. There is no logical reason to use a drum sequencer inside of the dedicated drum sequencer you already know. Nothing wrong with the product. In fact, I highly recommend to new producers on budget. It just isn't intuitive enough for the effort it takes to make it a regular part of workflow. I think your response was perfect.

[@AveMcree]

Well, basically lol... It's a nice service overall. The 2 step & DnB kits are great. Not enough of those around.

[@LYTEHOUSE7]

[@ANRO_ANRO]

I am using ATOM will this be linked out of the box with that or I have to go everytime one by one to click and drag the beat samples or set it up...if that's the case no thanx..I want to use my Atom with this in FL studio...like you can in Presonus one 5....when I open Atom in presonus one and I open up Impact, automaticly everything is mapped to my ATOM and I don't have to mess around with my beats like I have to do in FL...so if I were to get this, would this be mapped automaticly as well to Atom in FL...I want something that I can use just like that. As of now nothing is as good as Studio Ones setup of Atom with Impact...I just want to pick a drum pack and automaticly be mapped to my Atom and start making beats without spending x amount of time setting it up. Thanx..

[@lijahwilkins4099]

My pads still not synced

[@chrisfelone9500]

lol DAAAAAMN why this the least excited you been ?! LEMME FIND OUT LOOP CLOUD HAD A GUN TO YA BACK 😭

[@AveMcree]

let me find out that I wasn't excited about it because this plugin isn't my style..

[@art_video_design]

While i dont have akai.how Can I glue the sounds to the keyboard?

yes

you definitely matter

[@JuanGarcia-pb1jl]

How can you use it on standalone on the MPC?

[@AveMcree]

It’s not in standalone. I’m using the mpc software and mpc as a controller.

[@Borderlinepsycotic]

OK just how in the heck did you get those arpeggios and melodies so fast? Is that MPC or triton workflow function??? 😐. Duuuuuude. Lol

Kinda sounds like you didn't care for it, tho.

[@AveMcree]

I think the service is nice but it's not for me. If you need (want) drums. It delivers on that promise. However, my drum library is huge already & I have the best DAW for putting together drum kits.

[@auggiebendoggy]

I agree with Mcree, took me a whole 5 mins to realize it's not for me at all. I'm a subscription hater and having to pay yearls for loopcloud, nope. W/O loopcloug the plugin's worthless compared to Battery or Groove Agent.

[@Himan330]

It seems like the attempt at a beat pad version of splice but like, not at the same level.

[@AveMcree]

IDK about that one. The Loopcloud ecosystem is on par with Output Arcade... It would be better if the samples for chopping were phrased based.

[@Himan330]

​@@AveMcree Ohhh I see what you mean that makes sense

[@Bronwyn031]

Am I in the London Underground suddenly? 👏👏👏😊 But as a owner of XO, which do you think is the better option for coming up with drum patterns? I do understand that LoopCloud Drum is free and like XO you can bring in 3rd party samples located on your PC. Seems that they pretty much do the same thing to be honest. Any opinions?

[@AveMcree]

The only real difference is loopcloud gives you free sounds weekly

[@RicochetRockNice]

Looks and sounds nice but call me old skool I'd rather challenge myself and deal with Battery 4 hey 'Ave" if you did a vid tute on Battery 4 please give me the direct link Battery 4 just left me like WOW when I went under the hood and no I'm not giving up any secrets play at your own risk I'm just a mad scientist anyway.

[@itsrelativ3967]

Just another unnecessary step to create drum patterns. Slows down my workflow and DAW.
