I was
so happy to hear this. I love Celtic. You made my morning. Who cares what they're singing about. I can imagine whatever I want, this way. Beautiful job. Thanks.

I tried to get what they were saying. Did a Google search, tried translate (I got Black Set Durbin but that was the closest I got to "recognizable" words)

If I find out that they are singing something offensive, I'll have to change the "Explicit" setting

Fresh and inventive
A wonderful listen, and it has little to do with the (tasteful) way you melted the loops together, it is instead the mesmerizing choral singing you layered over the top. Nicely done.

The choral was the hardest part and came about by accident. I had jumped over that loop so many times (Irish Lore voice... come on) but finally just tried it out.

Yes this is cool!
It matters not that you used loops. The sound is what matters, and this is good!

Beware of what you say around here.

There are purists who believe that loops are the spawn of Satan.
There are rebels who believe that it is their God given right to use loops.

Then there is me who believes that if I paid a whole lot of money for these loops, I'll be damned if I don't use them.

Well Done.....
Loops help you sharpen up your skills, editing and pasting good mix
yep... that 2.....Once you start playing your own Music, it's much easier
to edit a note or a part, then to play it all over again because you never play it the same way.....You always lose something....

This is every nicely done....

I have learned so much about the mixing part of music by using the loops.

It's not for everyone but I enjoy the challenge loops give me.

I listened this morning and found myself humming it later in the day. I can't ever make a loop composition sound like anything remotely listenable. This is amazingly cohesive. It all works together so well I wouldn't have known they were loops unless you told me.

Wow - I'm in the league of "Hey Mickey You're So Fine" and the "Bunny Hop" :)

It's the Irish chants that pulled it all together.

I had all of the background stuff done and was ready to submit that. I experimented with vocals and wasn't too thrilled with what I was getting. I was about to give up. Glad I kept going.

What a great tune, and it's so nice that you listed everything you used. This has such a cool vibe throughout, very well done. Great stuff!

The listing came out of a debate long ago (which is still going on today) that nothing good can come out of a purely looped song.

I have been challenging myself to make loop-only songs that are pleasant to hear and, as proof, I list the loops used. Only a few times have I strayed from my mission :)

Enjoyed!
Hi Dana. Very creative use of loops in a nice sounding mix. The vocal loops blend in really well and give the song a wonderful, folk feel. Enjoyed! Take care, Peter.

I am so glad I didn't stop at my first incarnation of this tune which DID NOT include the Irish Chants.

Great use of your loo library
love the celtic vox and the open spaces you've created - along with the various versions of the mod guitar loop. Nice mix.

Garage Band is so much fun and I know I've only scratched the surface. The way you can manipulate the tracks and sounds is so great. I wish I had more time to just sit back and play.

This
is one of the best "looped" tunes I've ever heard. I recognise most of the loops you've used, but they are put together so very well. Kudos to you.

This one was one of the most enjoyable loop songs I put together (check out my other ones [shameless plug]). I had a lot of fun.
