Can I use these loops in a song I sell?

Yes. The loops and stems are cleared for commercial releases and you keep every penny. The only thing you cannot do is resell the sounds themselves as a sample pack.

What is a maqam, and what are hijaz and nikriz?

A maqam is the Arabic system of melodic modes. Hijaz has a flattened second and an augmented second above it, which is the interval most people hear as the Middle Eastern sound. Nikriz has a raised fourth. Both are written into these loops rather than approximated with a western minor scale.

What format are the files, and will they work in my DAW?

24-bit 44.1 kHz WAV, which every DAW reads — FL Studio, Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Cubase, Studio One, Reaper. Each filename carries its key and tempo, and every loop is cut sample-exact to the bar so it repeats without drifting.

Overview

An Egyptian loop kit for producers who are tired of the same three “oriental” presets. Eight melody loops, four percussion loops and eight stems, cut from two sessions — Cairo at 90 BPM and Nile at 148 — with oud, ney, strings and darbuka written in hijaz, nikriz and phrygian rather than transposed out of a western scale. It is free, and it is cleared for records you sell.

In detail

The modes, and why they matter

Phrygian, hijaz and nikriz are doing all the work here. If you have only ever written in natural minor, start with the D hijaz oud loop and the E nikriz: the flattened second and the augmented second above it are the whole sound, and four bars of them will teach you more than a scale chart will.

The key set was kept deliberately small — two loops in different keys sit together after a single transpose, so you can stack across tempos without a pitch-shift artefact in the way.

What was measured before it went out

Not marketing copy. These are the numbers the kit was checked against, and the README inside the download repeats them:

TuningMedian 2.1 cents from A=440. The whole kit sits inside 12 cents.

Bar lengthEvery loop sample-exact — round(sr × bars × 4 × 60 ÷ bpm). A few milliseconds out drifts audibly over a track.

Loop seamsEvery seam measured. None steps more than a normal sample step, so nothing clicks on repeat.

LevelsMelody loops inside 3.3 dB of each other, percussion inside 2.7 dB. Audition them without touching the fader.

True peakEvery file at or under −1.0 dBTP, measured per channel at 4× oversampling, so nothing distorts on a phone.

StereoNo fake width anywhere. Files that were dual-mono ship as mono — half the size, none of the pretence.

The stems are deliberately not level-matched to each other. The differences between the bass, the keys and the winds are the mix; flattening them would have thrown away the only thing stems are for.

What is left for you

These are clean, on purpose. Saturation, tape, layering and dirt are what turn a loop into your record instead of mine — so that part is not done. Push them.
