Hi all, I'm new here.
I'm fairly competent with a DAW and synths, melodically and harmonically... except I'm crap at building beats. I'm trying to find libraries of drum/percussion beats for creating music in the style of Amethystium, Enigma, etc. Specific example: Mike Oldfield's Songs of Distant Earth "Let There Be Light" and "Ascension" (sorry - can't post links, I'm a forum noob). Kinda 16-beat, slight swing (which I can probably dial in in the DAW), little or no room sound, somewhat electronic but not beepy-boopy, not clubby/dancey/housey... Maybe chill? Maybe downtempo? Maybe 25 years out of date now?
I use REAPER, NI Komplete (includes Battery) and Kontakt. I can use REX loops, WAV loops, etc. If MIDI loops, I'll need a kit or two to suit.
Any suggestions of libraries of loops I might be able to use? I've looked, but not found anything, maybe because I don't even know what genre to search for!
Armed with such loops as the backbone, I'll be adding KARMA drums and textures from my Korg M3, among other things.
Thanks!
