I'm not a professional musician; or a musician in any right. I'm just a very old school guy who likes messing around with ACID 4.0 and coming up with interesting tunes. It's more of a hobby than anything else, but as I've gotten into it more and more, I find myself wishing that I had more control over the loops themselves, which leads to the question...

I'd like to be able to create my own loops. The Chopper in ACID is a bit of a help, as well as the ACID tools in Sound Forge, but the results aren't nearly as original as I'd like. I don't own any musical instruments, so at the risk of sounding incredibly stupid, is there a product that will let me reproduce various instrument sounds, and then manipulate those sounds into useable loops?

Thanks in advance.

try goldwave....it a loop editor....its the easiest i've found to use, and allows u to cut and paste from your existing loops....also u may wanna invest in a small midi setup.....use the sounds already in your program to create newones

I dont know if this is what you are after but if there are freeware softsyths available. You can program lines all day and then make them into loops..so you can arrange them..assuming that is what you like about loops (ease of arrangement)...All you need is a couple decent softsynths and some drum samples and you can do alot...i use an old version of soundforge for trimming samples and acid 1.0 for arrangement..not cutting edge but does the job....
