With the advent of the new midi technology on computers, musicians around the world are learning the art of creating music in half the time it normally takes artists. We here at LOOPWISE.com have been making music with our computers for over 5 years now and we have compiled two exclusive kits that have everything the aspiring reggae and hip hop computer musician needs to make music. The first kit that we have made is called the "The DUB REGGAE KIT" which is the first of its kind on the internet to date and is ready for shipment. The second kit is similiar, but was created for hip hop artists, and is called the "The DUB HIP HOP KIT", this will not be released for a few months. "The DUB REGGAE KIT" is a multi-faceted musical database packed with all the educational and song creational materials the aspiring reggae artist needs to make quality music with his computer. The time and effort that went into the construction of this kit is priceless, however, we have decided to sell our DUB REGGAE kit at the low cost of $19.99!! This is discounted from the original $89.99 price. All loops can be mixed and matched to create your own unique riddim, and assigned to any synthesizer you choose. You will find that all of the loops "talk" to each other in the same tempo, making it very easy to create a riddim. Once you create your riddim, you can mix down to audio and begin dubbing your song with the help of our dub manual. Also included are the LOOPWISE AUDIO LOOPS. These loops were created with help from the popular internet reggae artists MESSIAN DREAD and SURE DREAD at the dubroom. They have been making dub reggae for over 10 years now, and you can visit them on the net at http://www.dubroom.com Loopwise.com hired 6 local musicians from the area of humboldt county to come into the studio and lay down everything they know about playing reggae and hip hop piano, drums, and bass. These recordings were done in the popular midi format which contains the notation of the lines inside of the recording, so a musician can look and see exactly what notes are being played. The LOOPWISE SOUNDFONT COLLECTION was created exclusively for the The DUB REGGAE KIT. These soundfonts were created for a reggae style of music but can be used for just about all genres. They include hard hitting drums, clean sounding basses and organs, excellent pianos and guitars, and a myriad of wind and ethnic instruments. THE FOURTH highlight is the much talked about LOOPWISE "dub manual" which is packed with web links, resources, and exclusive dub tips we've collected over the years about making dub music. This manual will surely help you to progress rapidly in your musical career. And the best part about this is that Our DUB REGGAE KIT costs just $49.99!! Some people buy our kit just for the midi/audio loops database, others buy it for the piano education files and dub manual, while some buy it for the loopwise soundfonts, but the wise ones will buy it simply for the time value of money...remember, TIME IS WORK AND WORK IS MONEY!

	Story Behind the Song Messian Dread about the Audio Loops: Ire and Dubful Greetings! Thank you for your interest in this loop set brought to you by LOOPWISE.com. The loops are created by Messian Dread (drums, percussion), Sure Dread (Keyboards) and Imro Fedor (conga). Messian Dread is a pioneer in Dub creations on the computer. His midifiles are spread all over the Internet and his mp3 files are a regular guest in Dub download charts. He has shown with his works, that good dub music can be constructed with a computer. Sure Dread is a very good keyboard player, as you can hear in the loops, his organ bubbles are as authentic as reggae shuffles can be. His melodic reggae is downloaded a lot of times every day. Imro Fedor is the drummer for Jah Roots, and he is also a good conga player. You can roughly divide the loops in two main sections: midi and audio. The midiloops are all set at a base tempo of 160 BPM, but the advancement of midi over audio is that you can easily change tempo to make it fit your own mood and inspiration. You'll find a great variety of authentic reggae drums in different styles: from the meditative one-drop to the highly dancable rub a dub rhythms to militant steppers. The loops also come in both triplets ("swing") as well as straights so you'll have lot's to choose from. The audioloops consist of ten construction kits, each having their own speed and feel (straight or swing). In each kit you'll find 25 loops in CD Quality Wav format. They consist of 4 basslines and accompanying organ shuffles and skank hits, easily labeled (1a, 1b, 2a, 2b), 5 drumloops, five drum fills, and 5 percussion loops. Some rhythms are quantizes, some are not. Every kit comes with a conga loop played by Imro Fedor on Supercussion conga's. Ofcourse you can use the kit as foundation for a track, and sing or play additional stuff over it. Here is a scheme of the audioloops: AUDIO LOOPS MELODY: 4 BASS LINES 4 ORGAN BUBBLES 2 CHORD HITS RHYTHM: 5 DRUM LOOPS 5 DRUM FILLS 5 PERCUSSION RIDDIM NR. SORT STRAIGHT/TRIPLES SPEED (BPM) 1 ONE DROP STRAIGHT 150 2 TWO DROP TRIPLETS 140 3 STEPPERS STRAIGHT 130 4 ONE DROP TRIPLETS 150 5 TWO DROP STRAIGHT 140 6 STEPPERS TRIPLETS 130 7 ONE DROP STRAIGHT 130 8 TWO DROP TRIPLETS 150 9 STEPPERS STRAIGHT 140 10 TWO DROP TRIPLETS 160 Messian Dread about the audioloops: "You can insert the audio loops in your favorite audio sequencer any manner you like: Cakewalk, Cubase, Acid. Make any sequence you like with them by inserting a loop in the 1st count of every 4th measure. It's important that you set the right volume for each instrument. Normally, put conga's and other percussion instruments more on the background, the organs a little higher then the percussion, and put in the drums and single skanks pretty loud. The bass should be omni-present but not so loud that you don't hear the other instruments. After you've created the sequence (is loop-order) of your choice, it's time to make a dub. There's not something as a course in Dub, but I can give you some principals. Let your creativety and inspiration do the rest. Dub is created, by taking stuff out. Most of the time, the bass and the drums are playing, while the other channels are being faded in and out. Effects are applied over the drums and the instruments as they fade in and out. Single hits are being isolated, and put through an echo or reverb. Let your feeling tell you where to put the instruments in and out, just make sure that the bass and the drum play in a big part of the mix (or not, whatever you want...).
