Description
This was my very first work with loops in GarageBand about a year and a half ago. Long before I knew of what could be done by all the amazing MacJammers. I just simply picked various loops and arranged them to fit the mood.

It is pretty amazing what can be done without even playing an instrument... Ok... well I played the final crash symbol for the drums!!!

Zero effects, virtually no mixing, just loops...

Don't know why...
But in the uploaded version there is a bleepy/squeaky sound to the drums... Oh well...

aren't loops amazing? It takes skill to find ways to make the loop puzzle pieces fit together - I'm not sure I'd attempt it! Oh - and VERY good job on that crash symbol! Thanks

Thanks all
I wish I could figure out how to fix the bleepy thing... It doesn't do that in the version here on disk... Maybe a V2 upload... I donno...

Thanks for all the compliments...

Purrrfect- piano tune.
Mark this was really lovely to listen too and your first time doing this also-
I think you did an excellent job. loved the piano and your crashing
live cymbal was also good.

I haveI just got ILife 08 but not put it on yet not sure what to do as i still have Garage Band version 3 that I did all my work in and of course some on my Maudio Keystation.. But you know what ? mostly if I play anything live
I use my Musical Typing KB In GB Just thought you might be interested to know this too.I t seems to work better for me somehow.

Thanks again Mark and for our great chat too.
Its your cat picture I came to stroke again soo cute I love cats !.

Peace Dee x

that loop
I used that same piano loop in a dancey number I made while I was sick in bed. I love it. It's so weird for me to hear it in another song now. I like how you chopped it up, though. I just had mine going over and over again. Your cymbal splashing is extraordinary! :)

I think
that you must still be a musician in order to make a respectable piece of music out of loops. And, you are that. It was very easy listening, all the way to the fade out ending. Bravo. Thanks. :)
