In the Context of  "Dr Loops presents Essential Beats"

This is a digital audio sample.  Each sample is typically of length between 2 and 8 seconds.	The sample can easily be inserted into any digital sound editor.  For example, a 2 second dance music sample can be repeated (looped) 1 5 times to deliver a 30 second quality music bed.   This is the concept of a loop.
You have ultimately produced your own music to be used in varying applications, and all in a few seconds.	This is what your looped sample looks like in a sound editor. The highlighted section shows the original 2 second sample, which has been repeated 8 times in this case.

A music 'sequencer' can assist the user into making looped music beds, or even full length songs by mixing loops together and by adding vocals to it.
This is made very easy by Sonic Foundry's "Acid" music creation software, which is included with all Dr Loops CDs.

In the Context of "Dr Loops presents Vocal Samples"

A vocal sample is a catchy vocal word or phrase such as "Ooh baby", or "Throw your hands in the air!" commonly heard in some dance music tracks.

You can create and mix professional, high quality vocals in just seconds, which can be easily used in any music production with the use of a sound editor or Sonic Foundry's "Acid" which is included in all Dr Loops CDs.

In the Context of "Dr Loops presents Sound Effects"

By adding Sound Effects to your audio/visual creations, you can give life to your production. A sound effect is a digital recording of commonly heard noises, such as Thunder and Lightning, or Cats Meowing, and also uncommon noises such as fictional Laser Guns and Space Aircraft.

These sound effects can be inserted and mixed into your production using Sonic Foundry's "Acid" which is included in all Dr Loops CDs.
