Apple Soundtrack goes solo

Apple announced today that Soundtrack, a professional music creation tool originally offered specifically with Final Cut Pro 4, will be available as a standalone product. Apple plans to ship the software in August for US$299. Soundtrack enables video, DVD and Web project creators to incorporate original music into their projects. The software includes more than 4,000 audio loops and sound effects available for royalty-free use. A search engine enables you to find sounds by instrument, genre or mood, and Soundtrack also supports importing new sound loops from formats including Acid, AIFF and WAVE. Soundtrack's native file format is Apple Loops. [via MacCentral]
Did I not say this would be a good idea once I used it? I did. Awesome.
Oh, and get yourself FCP for half price or maybe even for FREE through their trade-up program. A great deal!

This makes even more sense now that Adobe has announced that they will no longer be developing Premiere for the Mac. My guess is that FCP was too much competition for Adobe.

Where can one find loops for soundtrack? I am looking for the orginal ones that came with Final Cut Pro 4. Sister gave me Final Cut Pro 4 upgrade version, but something tells me there was a soundtrack CD/DVD that should of also been with this package? Anywhere or place to download these loops?

Thanks for any help
