In our vision, the ideal loop pack is recorded live by a musician and contains between 20 and 50 loops. It could be with any instrument, in any genre. For the pack pick 1 bpm, 1 sound, 1 style and start recording. Try to implement intro, verse, chorus, build up, breakdown loops so that producers can make arrangements. Got more then 50 loops? Create vol.1, vol.2, vol.3 or vol.4 packs, which you can eventually sell as a bundle as well. Check out this video to get to know more.

6. SELLING GUITAR LOOPS

Choose one reference track that inspires you, or a style you want to dive into regarding sound/recording.
Listen to the sound/feel/timing/use chords/melodies.
Determine the bpm you want to record. Choose 1 bpm for the pack(s).
Determine which sound you want, which amp, which mics will you use, etc.
Make a rough overview for yourself of what kind of loops you want to record and how many of each. Clearly distinguish between intro/verse/chorus/buildup/outro/fx loops so that producers can arrange with them.
Record a large number of usable loops in one session and divide them into packs of 20-50 loops (in steps of 5). For example, if you have 135 loops, make 2 packs of 50 (VOL.1 & VOL.2) and 1 pack of 35 (VOL.3). This is smart because we can sell them as a bundle! Consider VOL.2 and VOL.3 as extensions of the first pack that match the same style. As a guitarist, you could split this into rhythm guitar, chords, and melodies, etc.
Think about audio requirements, recording at -6 dB, make sure the loops actually loop by editing them proper, bundle them, submit them, and start selling.
