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... Check out my latest song called Never Say Goodbye - Bond Challenge

	Amazing What you can do with just loops and a good ear. It's fun. Check out my latest song called Funky Jazzy Sonic Fusion

	Piano Thoughts 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 Check out my latest song called Symphonic Smackdown

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.

	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! :) Check out my latest song called Anarchy, Inc.

	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. :) Check out my latest song called Break Away (Mark Holbrook & Awigze)
