Yes tha't what I'd suggest too Brian. Both Gordon and Dan have all ready
commented as I would have done, so I hope you find it useful. Sorry I can't
help you with loops, but I have only used loops through the copy and paste
command. If I need to change the tempo I edit the wave file. A different
process, but it works for what I need to do.

You can use midi to drive a sampler which is where the really convincing sounds come in. The problem with loops is that they sound like - well loops. That's to say that they're not flexible, they just keep repeating the same phrase exactly without any subtlety, or to be frank, musicallity.
If you use sample libraries or soundfonts then you can make all the tiny changes in rhythm, colour and velocity that make a performance really come alive.
In case you hadn't noticed, I'm not a big fan of loops.

Hey:** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:-
The reason I don't sequence drums using midi is because I've never actually figured midi out. Do you think this would be a wise move for drums? I've just always found that the midish drum sounds I've heard were kind of fake and I'm looking for really good hiphop/rap drums. By using the wav files, it is very easy for people to create drum loops and I thought there should be an easy process for me to do the same. If midi is it, just let me know.
