Tweaking Drum Loops

[JLSIII]

Since all the free downloadable drum loops are straight 8 rock or hip-hop style,
there must be a way to take one and make it a shuffle. Right?
I know it is not too hard to change a MIDI sequence to a shuffle beat, but how do you change a drum loop?

I don't know of any vst or software that changes audio grooves. I think it will be very difficult to acheive this as it is also to do with the quantizing... the only sampler I know where you can do this is the emu e6400 or emulator 4 series that has a sort of beat mangler option which analyses the peaks and either takes certain notes out, or changes the swing.

Use the beat detective inside protools. It does the job really great and can make a standard straight loop (drums/guitar/bas/vocal/whatever) swing. It takes a little experimenting to get it to work, but after a few times its flawless.

Read about it in the manual, and dont be scared to use those sliders - everything can be undone
