NOW ITS EASY TO GET IN THE LOOP

In the twenty-five years since the first commercially available
sampler hit the market (namely the Fairlight, costing a
cool £25,000), the increase in the quality and length of
sampling available has been matched by a decrease
in the amount of time required to process and create
loops from this sampled material.
In 1977, an 8kB 8-bit at 8kHz sample sounded
dreadful, lasted about half a second and took
about half an hour to get a poor quality loop
with (on a £25,000 machine). In 1987, a 256kB
12-bit sample at 32kHz sounded a fair bit better,
lasted 3 or 4 seconds and could be looped by
an expert in about five minutes (and only cost
a couple of thousand pounds). By 1992, things
were a lot better; a 1MB16-bit stereo sample at
44.1kHz sounded pretty damn good, lasted 6
seconds and only took a couple of minutes to
loop well (although the machine to do it on was
now three thousand pounds). 5 years ago, major
price breakthroughs brought the cost of a similar
machine to around the thousand pound mark and
DJs & producers used them by the thousands in
studios to re-mix tracks in just a few hours.
Today however, because of your decision to purchase a
RED SoundBITE LITE, you are in a position to make 24-bit
loop samples (at 96kHz) in real-time at the touch of a button
without missing a beat! What's more, you can automatically
sync together up to six loops with equal ease. SoundBITE will
definitely transform your live performance or studio re-mix and
you paid less than two hundred pounds for the privilege.
Welcome to the brand-new world of "cyclic sampling", now you're really on top of synchronized looping and one last
thing: don't worry, you can't go wrong…SoundBITE won't let you!
