Loops Took Me Somewhere Beyond...
You never know where music can take you,,, Sometimes using other's talents and riffs can take you beyond your own style then give new ground to explore... I'm not ashamed of using loops... They allow me to produce musical works of art. They provide me the extra ground for treading. These songs were all made with royalty-free loops and samples...
Using loops can be a challenge because of time signature, tempo, key and dynamics. Some of these songs took days to complete, I'd try so many combinations that I'd have to walk away and come back with a different perspective. Plus, loops still have to be mixed and effected properly. It can be just as complicated as recording because they require imagination, fore thought, and cleverness.
I used to be a purist,,, I was the one who said, "I'll never use loops, they suck!" Well those words came back to haunt me... I'm grateful, I've been able to use the loops to produce some killer music videos... I always make sure to mix these songs well, now it's second nature to me... Every bit of these songs took vision and a trained ear... I poured my heart into making them sound this good...
