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.
 
I think you'd have more fun just banging on some acoustic instruments and capturing that with a mic on a loop by loop basis. There is an exciting warmth to captured real sounds that comes across even in an ACID environment.
 
Thanks dr... you make a helluva good point.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to play any instruments; other than maybe drums. :(

HA! Ask around. That never stopped me!
 
There are a multitude of sounds on these CD's form Pro Samples.
