You know... like when inspiration strikes and you have a great idea for a melody or a beat, throw down some stuff on your DAW, then forget about it or never get the urge to turn it into a full track. I've never thought of commercializing on these little snippets before, but it seems like a great idea. However, I have no idea what constitutes a 'looppack' like the submission page at AudioBase asks for. Is it an audio CD? Data CD with uncompressed audio or MIDI files? Any resources/guidelines for creating a loop pack that anyone can point me to? I, like a lot of artists, am sitting on tons of unfinished tracks that could be considered loops.
