I didn't mean to incite another restless debate about using
loops versus not using loops. I also said in my
description something to the effect that using loops could
even be harder for a composer to do in certain cases. I
just thought that to show my respect for both loop and
non-based music, I would listen up and tell ya my
thoughts.

Great song. Good old Latin Horn Stabs!!! They done
stabbed me too many times though, cause I can't take any
more of them. Really though this tune, from my miniscule
perspective, was solid, pleasing to the ear, and an easy to
enjoy listen. I think that you could do a little more with
the bass line to make it more funky though. And more
dynamics throughout. But these are things i must work
on in my own stuff as well.

So goes to show.......loop based or non loop-based. It is
still good music.

Sincerely,
MidiMacMan.

I know... didn't mean for you to think that you incited it. The original idea for
pushing the 'Loop' was from a voting question here on MacJams.

Thanks. I'll play with the bass a bit more... I know what you mean about the
horns. I personally don't like them either BUT it's because I don't care for
them that I challenged myself to TRY to make them sound good.

Thanks for listening.

Nice use of the horns. I personally don't like those latin
horns but you have used them very creatively here. Easy to
listen to.

started out kinda sinister.. then the horns kicked in. has a
pretty nice upbeat sound to it. i would like to hear more of
the other instruments taking off on their own to round
everything out-i think the sound would evolve. the horns
are just so dominant. you did a great job of putting this
together

Thanks for the nice comments.
This song started out because I kept reading 'Loop' vs. 'No-Loop' threads
everywhere on this site.
I never really played with Garageband's loops before and thought it would be
a nice challenge.
Listening to it again, I can see where I could have done a lot more...I'll
see what I can do about 'solos' but still keeping the integrity of 'Loop Only'---
