What is ReCycle?

I love using .rex files in my music, it's an easy way to take your loops and create something completely different. ReCycle is a stand alone program by Propellerheads that lets you take your audio loops (say a basic drum loop) and chop them up into different segments that allow you to craft them into something unique that you can use in your productions.

Heres a short video by the folks at Propellerheads; it talks you through ReCycle, Rex loops and how you can use them to add something special to your music. I'd recommend using ReCycle to help make your audio loops a little more manageable and inspirational.

Propellerheads ReCycle updates to version 2.2

I'm a big fan of Propellerheads ReCycle and I'm extremely happy to find out that it's been updated to version 2.2. A few months ago my old laptop died and I had to replace it with a better more up-to-date model. Little did I know that the older version of ReCycle wouldn't work on my shiny new laptop because it wasn't compatible with the 64-bit operating system.

For those of you that have never used ReCycle before, it's quite a simple program that allows you to create .REX files from basic audio files. This is especially useful if (like me) you make a lot of loops to use in your music production.

Now that I can use ReCycle again, you can expect some of the newer sample packs that I upload here to include .REX loops as well as basic .WAV files.
