Description

Okay I know the multipressor is pumpin like crazy but, I was well into it before I noticed it was on HA! (used one of those factory setups and it had it on the master...oops.) I'm trying to learn Logic on a limited number of brain cells.
Anyhow this is my first dive into the loop world. I found this acoustic guitar loop in garageband and well uh................ it just got away from me.

Hey!
Is that you singing? Cool stuff... this reminds me quite a bit of ZZ Top in that chugging bluesy way. It started off "a little bit too repetitive" with the loop (possibly give some kind of intro hiccup to break it up?) but then it gets going with the guitars and singing and all is grand. Nice chorus, great singing harmonies and song structure, very good electric guitar work. Oh and the lyrics are fun too. A real Woot-n-anny!
ttfn,
Drakonis

Hey there Drak!
Yeah it's me singing, goodlord I haven't tried to sing in so many years I was scared to post it. Sometimes I feel there's a fine line between singing and hollering! I don't really have the voice for this kinda thing but felt I had to go where the loop lead me. Hey thanks so much for all the great comments, I respect your discerning ear. Now the part that bothered you.....I actually had a little vocal harmony thing in the beginning but decided at the last moment I didn't like it. I was also too lazy then to take out the extra bars (actually I was bout sick of the whole thing at that point).
It was fun though.
Thanks again Drak

	Great mix This doesnt sound looped at all. The vocal harmonies are really fabulous, in fact, the track is a real winner - very classy. Nice breaks and sections, and good overall length 9as it were). Pleased to meetcha! steve Check out my latest song called Sweet Isolation

	Thanks Steve I tried to break it up enough to not sound too looped. Was my first time to use them so I wanted to try different things. Thanks for the vocal comment, although I kinda slink down over singing. I was scared I had em too high in the mix. Anyhow enough about me! I sure do like that new thing of yours thanks again for listening Check out my latest song called Last Teardrop

	Sweet! Really great! Nice all around. Sounds like you got a nice handle on L8 Check out my latest song called Big Yawn (Apogee One mic demo)

	I wish I had a handle on it. I really know very little about it but, I made myself start and finish a loop project so I could learn more about logic and loops. So do you have logic jim? It's certainly different in a lot of was from other software I've used. I'm glad you liked it and thanks for the kind words Check out my latest song called Last Teardrop

	Outstanding... ... and outrageously so. The entire song works. The loops background music is mixed perfectly so as to present to the listener (me) the audio appearance of a real band. And your singing is coool... really top notch. But it is the whole concept of this song that is the winner. Great inspiration and that is more than half the battle when creating a tune. Kudos.

Hey Dadai
you are certainly right about the inspiration thing. That little acoustic guitar loop
inspired me enough to take this thing on. Glad it sounds good to you because I value your opinion! I was trying my hardest to make it come off more like a band and not some looped thing. It did require a lot of chopping, sliding and serious penciling though. Hey I have to really want to finish something when I drag out the old mic.......sittin there thinkin I need a vocal on this, you look around the room and there's nobody but you! Yikes! so you do what you gotta do.

Thanks so much Dadai I was beginning to think this thing sucked

Hey Smokey,
thanks for giving this thing a listen, and I really do appreciate your compliments.
You know I wanted to ask you......is it too late to do another version of the bell?
I just keep hearing another approach that hasn't been covered. I'm not even sure it will work but, I keep hearing it in my head and thought I might try it one day when I have some time. Just wanted to check with you and see if you think it would be okay to try.

Thanks again Mr Smokey
