Once you've downloaded your trap guitar samples and loops above, the next step is to add them to a project in your DAW.
They work with Pro Tools, FL Studio, Ableton, or any other DAW you may be using.
To use these samples once they're downloaded onto your computer's hard drive:
- Browse through them in the file manager of your respective software program (should it be ProTools, FLStudio, or Ableton).
- Add them to new projects on that same program
Once you find a trap guitar sample or loop that sounds good, simply drag or insert it into your project.
From there you can add effects like reverb and compression, layer multiple samples together, or apply sidechaining.
The more effects and manipulation you do, the more unique these loops will become.
Almost all the sample packs will also include BPM and key information in the file names so you'll know how to best use them.
Some loopkits have MIDI information for chords and other melodic progressions, which can help you get started when using the samples.
This is a great advantage that shouldn't be skipped!
If you want to write or rewrite melodies with these trap loops, MIDI is a nice plus.
Make sure to avoid any low-quality or fuzzy loops.
It's a best practice to skip any MP3 files, WAV is always superior for use in professional mixes.
A nice little trick we like to use is layering multiple samples and loops together.
It's one of the easiest ways you can make unique new sounds out of existing samples!
You must be aware of the copyright and royalty status of your samples.
Copyright detection is getting better every day.
While you might be good for personal use, using non-royalty-free samples for any professional use is risky.
It's always recommended if possible to work only with royalty-free guitar loops if you want to distribute or sell your music.
