Default Suggestions for loops collections...

I know there’s a ton of companies that make loops these days that are pretty inexpensive. I’m looking for some good suggestions to use with workspace that can easily be time stretched and dropped into place. A good overall Collection of loops sort of like what logic pro has to offer with apple loops is basically what I’m looking for.

Any suggestions?

Thanks. I just downloaded Momentum. Looks pretty. A couple of questions though. 1, can you audition samples other than Big Fish ones within the app or do you have to do a "quick look" with a mac in finder and 2, can you assign each sample to a different midi track or do you have to open a whole other instance of Momentum? I see that you can assign each sample to a different output but that would mean a lot of aux tracks.

You can load your own samples and I think it has multiout like a sampler. Big Fish has put together a couple of great tutorials and even though it's a very new product it has already been updated with new cool features. Sorry I can't help more.

Those look interesting. I really try and stay away from subscriptions though. There’s something about not actually owning them that bugs me. On the other side I’m sure the advantages are that it’s a never ending selection that’s constantly changing. Something to think about.

After spending an afternoon using momentum, It really works great in conjunction with workspace. Both have their advantages and disadvantages but using them together is a really great option.

You'll download and are free to use the loops and samples you have chosen.

I'm not perpetually signed up. I just sign up to a plan once in a while and download a load of samples.
