Description of American Idol Extreme Music Creator

The Magic of Loops
Loops make it easy for anyone to create music. A loop is simply an audio file that repeats itself in your composition. A music loop can be a drum beat, guitar riff, keyboard part, or a vocal sample. By selecting and arranging loops in different ways, you can create complete songs or killer background tracks in minutes. American Idol Extreme Music Creator software includes hundreds of professionally recorded loops in multiple genres -- the creative possibilities are endless!

Instant Pop Songs
As a special bonus, American Idol Extreme Music Creator includes Randy Jackson's Producer's Pack, a special CD crammed with over 250 music loops. The samples on this CD represent popular genres such as hard rock, soft rock, electro-pop, R&B, hip-hop, and dance. Want to jump right in and record your own single? Open up any of the six prearranged projects and lay in your own vocals. All the building blocks you need to create a hit song are included in Randy Jackson's Producer's Pack. The only thing missing is you!

Learn as You Go
Learn the tricks of the trade by following along with the built-in Show Me How tutorials. These interactive helpers walk you through the basics of loop-based composition, recording, and mixing. Text dialog boxes and guides explain your next step and show you where to click so you can learn and do at the same time.
