Our Review
We tested Loopcloud 5.1 for several months and we were really impressed. Loopcloud is very easy to use and finding the sounds you need takes so little time. You can build a song from scratch using exclusively Loopcloud samples or you can use Loopcloud to find samples for your existing projects. Once you found the sounds it’s very easy to make them fit into your project. Adjusting the key and the tempo to your project plus adding various effects is a breeze! Also the price is awesome, you get so much for so little cash. Not to mention that the quality of the sounds (over 4 million!) is just great.
Our conclusion is very simple: Loopcloud worths every penny, start using it in every project because you are going to love it!
