Inserting drum loops from the included library
I'm using Pro Tools First in Windows 10. When I create a new project, I'm given the option of a few different templates each named different genres of music, shown here, or the first thumbnail below:
Each template provides default settings typical to that genre and adds tracks named after the instruments typically used, but more importantly to me, it adds a drum loop. What's more, I can then right click on the drum-loop and select matching alternates, which are different drum-loops, shown here, or the second thumbnail below: The list of matching alternates is not exhaustive. Is there a library buried somewhere in Pro Tools First that will allow me to review all the included drum loops and add them to my project? I'd like to hear all the different drum loops included but I don't know where they are located. What I'd like to do is see an exhaustive list of all the different drum loops, listen to different drum loops and then select which one works for this project. How can I do this in Pro Tools First? |

Re: Inserting drum loops from the included library
I'm not very familiar w/PTF, but I've known PT for a long time, and I wouldn't think that it would ever offer much in that type of functionality. It was created to be a multitrack audio recorder for computers, when that was a dream. So it's made to record and mix with, foremost. 3rd party developers like Addictive gives you much of what you're after; Samples, sounds toghether with midi libraries with beats and riffs, that you can build from, but sadly, PTF doesn't support 3rd party plugins. You need to buy PT Standard.

Re: Inserting drum loops from the included library
I think what you are looking for is called Soundbase, which is a media browser in Pro Tools that lets you see all of your sound libraries and allows you to audition them from within the Soundbase window.

I'm an idiot. I never use it, that's why I replied like I did. You find it in the Window menu - New workspace - Soundbase. You can search, preview and drag'n'drop onto tracks.

On the other hand as has already been mentioned, drum VIs offer the ability to preview libraries of MIDI loops and the Workspace/Soundspace browser will allow you to preview whatever audio loops you collect or purchase. Just remember that any VI or plugin you want to use in Pro Tools First has to already be included or purchased through Avid's Marketplace.

Edit: Of course, you'll still have to buy a regular version of PT. Or choose a different DAW.
