What is Silicon Beats?

Silicon Beats is an online archive of drum loops. You can purchase our drum loops as download packs which are available by "Genre". With every drum loop pack that you purchase the files are instantly delivered to you in 3 different formats which are all contained within one handy ZIP file. The 3 file formats that are included are WAV, AIF and Rex2.

Silicon Beats originally started life as "Breakbeats Only" way back in 2002. At that time we mainly offered what the title suggests (only breakbeats) but over the years our library of drum loops has grown in size and variety in order to satisfy the demands of our customers.

Silicon Beats is run by the same company that runs the world famous www.platinumloops.com so if you need other types of loops such as strings, horns, voices and much much more please check them out. Click here to learn more about Silicon Beats.

Garageband Loops - Apple Loops

Silicon Beats now offers all of our loops in the popular Garageband Loops formats known as "Apple Loops". When you purchase any of our Drum Loop packs you get to download a ZIP file which contains your drum loops in these formats:

  • AIF - Apple Loop format for Garageband and Logic on Mac OSX.
  • WAV - (Acidized). The industry standard for years. Almost All audio applications can handle WAV.
  • REX2 - For use in Reason, Cubase, Sonar/Project 5 and many more DAW applications.

We had so many users asking for us to supply Garageband loops in the Apple Loops format that we simply had to listen. After some intense weeks of locating hit points and specifying meta data for the Garageband Loops in our library we finally completed the conversion and are now proud to offer this new format.

Mac users will pay no extra charge for Garageband Loops, everybody pays one price and gets all formats.

What are Apple Loops?

Apple loops are specially formatted AIF files which work in Garageband and Logic for Mac OSX. Apple loops contain unique meta data which tells Garageband or Logic certain things about the file, such as where the transient hit points are, what type of instrument is being played, the tempo, time signature and other information.
