What exactly is a sampling loop?
A loop is a composition that is structured in such a way that it can be repeated in an orderly and seamless manner to create a desired pattern. A sample, on the other hand, is a section of an existing song that has been cut and arranged to be used in a new record. A sample can also be looped, converting it to a "sample loop."
How long does a sample loop last?
I keep my loops to a maximum of 8 bars in length. It's enough room to experiment with variation and drum work without becoming monotonous, and it leaves room to build on top of in the next set of loops. Melodic sections are approximately 32 bars long (8 for the buildup and 16 for the drop).
