Loops

[nvisibl]

I've always programmed my own drums and find it easier to mix and apply effects and so on to each individual drum hit. Recently though I have been playing around with some loops and thinking about incorporating them into my sound. Though right now i'm thinking that I will loose much of that control over mixing/effecting with loops rather than individual hits and that it may not work out so great.

Whats your take on this, and how do you yourself incoporate drumloops into your mixes?

Cheers
