Styles?? I.E. Rock-Hip Hop-Funk

[Roflcopter]

We thought of that, but there's several disadvantages to doing that per genre or style.

Styles go out of fashion. (Jazz or Baroque anyone?)

Also, the grunge drum loop from say 'Midlife Crisis' by Faith no More, should go under Grunge, I guess. The original drumloop from Simon and Garfunkel's Cecilia (identical) should go under Soft Pop?

Urgh. Not easy.

how about this..!

* animals

* button

* film and comic FX

* exteriors

* house

* human

* industrial

* interior

* music loops

* nature

* sci-fi

* sound art

* sports

* transport

* unreal {alian and other crap...}

any suggestions...?

if it's too long we can merge some catagories, too...

[Roflcopter]

Yeah, they sound useful - even though I'm not sure I have any button sounds at hand, those are easily made...

[Roflcopter]

I don't need loops because I always create those myself, however, it would be very cool to have a "swells and impacts" category. I've been making them from scratch and they take forever.

Ooooh! That's a nice one - not many of those around, indeed.

This one, you mean

Bit of a naff video (voices to the left, unrelated music to the right) really, but interesting anyway. Thanks.
