Part 2. Extending Soundation Studio
Using Incredibox http://www.incredibox.com/ In Soundation Studio vol.1, we covered the basics of mixing samples together and mixing them down to create your own song. We only used the built in samples and the ones you have recorded. There are lots of other samples to use. You can buy packs of themed samples already recorded, but better still you can get thousands for free. This is what we will do in this part
We are going to be using the website “Looperman”. This is a site where musicians get together to swop ideas about music. It is also where people produce their own samples for you to use for FREE. There are over 50,000 samples including drum beats, loads of instruments, voice samples, sound effects and much more. It is easy to search for what you want and then download them. They are categorised into types of music, types of sample, tempo, etc.
Using Incredibox
You are best joining the site – it is free and there are no tricks to get cash from you or anything like that. Once you do you can upload the samples you have made and see what other people make with them. You can also listen to their tracks and get some ideas and inspiration.

Acapellas are vocals with no music. They can be used like an instrumental track.

On Looperman the singers often have conditions, such as having to recognise their contribution, or even a percentage of sales. Vocals can be searched for in just the same way as music samples.

Using the “tracks� tab gets you to tracks that people have created and are sharing on Looperman. This is a good source of ideas. It is also a good way to keep up with what new things musicians are working on.
