A brief demonstration on how to create a song with the loop library, creating an 8 bar disco (yes, disco) song. We went over how to listen to loops in the library, how the library could be sorted (by song kit, by instrument, by key and other categories). We also learned how to how to add loops to a track, mute tracks and duplicate loops. We discussed organizing tracks by instrument and channel. After, students were given time to experiment with the sound the loop library.
