I have been using Acid Pro for recording music lately and have drum loops that were provided by my friend who gave me the program. I am growing tired of the ones I have though and would like to get more. The only one’s that I can find free online are techno/dance beats and the rock ones I have found have been kinda lame or low quality. That leaves me with buying quality loops through sonic foundry or on ebay. These cd’s range anywhere from $10 on ebay to $50 through SF. Before I shell out the cash can anyone recomend a good rock loop collection (I really want some west coast punk beats) or a cheap place to pick up loops? Thanks.
PS: Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this but I didn’t know if it was right for IMHO either.

Acid Pro is pretty cool. I haven’t bought any loops, so I can’t help there, but I’ve had a lot of fun making my own from other songs. I use Cool Edit to cut up MP3s, but I’m sure any editor will work fine. Of course, I don’t know what the legalities are for distribution, but if you’re doing it for fun like me there shouldn’t be any problem.
