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...

Hardware:
Intel MacMini

Software:
GarageBand (the version prior to iLife 08)

Don't know why... &mdash 03/17/08 - 05:41:18 PM
But in the uploaded version there is a bleepy/squeaky sound to the drums... Oh well...

Amazing &mdash 03/17/08 - 06:50:08 PM
What you can do with just loops and a good ear. It's fun.

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

This is great. You are very talented friend. The cymbal crash was soooo good! :) Seriously, I really enjoyed this song. You brought everything together very well. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Thanks all &mdash 03/19/08 - 06:04:40 PM
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. &mdash 03/22/08 - 07:25:01 AM
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 &mdash 03/28/08 - 11:25:30 AM
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 &mdash 08/07/08 - 06:20:41 PM
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. :)
