Noticable improvement...
I'd say it's an improvement over your first song, for
starters. You did a nice job of selecting loops that go
together.

Unfortunately, there are some glaring timing issues in this
song. For the first two thirds of the song, there seems to
be a slight pause after every 16 beats. Don't know what's
causing it, but it definitely doesn't sound right.

Secondly, I'd make a suggestion for that little break in the
song... Having the beat drop out is a good idea; it's a nice
change of pace. But when you start it back up, it probably
shouldn't be so abrupt. A nice little drum fill or
something beforehand would make for a smoother
transition.

Finally, I'd say that the ending doesn't quite fit the song.
The rest of the song is this nice happy little euro ditty,
and then the end is just this sudden dark, gloomy sound
effect with some random shaker beats. I'm sure you could
come up with something a bit more fitting if you put your
mind to it.

This is only your second song, but I have already seen
some improvement in your ability to arrange loops. Work
out the bugs and keep on making an effort! You're on
your way, my friend.

Noticable improvement...
Thanks av01der! I was much happer with this one. As long as I can see an improvement on each tune from a personal standpoint, I'll be hoked on this. I am going to look into a different system to work from. This Dell is a great machine, but it was not built for what it is being used for! Besides, Doofy has actually shown me the interface for the GaragBand program and it looks to be a far superior product to what I'm using on a PC....but hey for now, I'll do what I can!

Thanks for hangin' in there with me!

Definitely better...
I agree with avo1der about the timing issues, especially that goofy 16th beat (I guess it's 16th) where is a slight pause.
Strangely (and on the plus side), that problem is not there in the middle section, nor the last section.
Perhaps there's a "16 beat" loop that's not quite fitting together with itself. In that case, you could stretch the loop so it has no space in between.

Anyway, MUCH better tune than the first. You'll simply get better with experience. You may never get the title of "Loop Arrangement Extraordinaire," but then, there can only be ONE Doofy. lol

Nice, But....
Nice tune, but as has been said before that little pause at
the end of the loop realy puts stop to my dancin groove.
I realy like the loops you have chosen and the style of
song is groovy, ya just need to get rid of that pause.
keep up the good work..

Improvements continued
I'd agree with av01der that there are some pausing issues in the beginning but they go away after about 1/4 of the song is played. I enjoyed the beat and effects and thought they were mixed well. The ending isn't bad but the item at the end doesn't quite go well with the song, I concur. Fix the timing issues and add some variations especially towards the end but stay in the same ballpark and this little song will easily be raised up a point or two In my voting.
