I threw this together today just as an exercise in using loops from cover disks, etc. Hope it tickles your ears for a couple of minutes!

This tickled my ears so well that I’m keeping it!

Great mix, great drums and super chops.

GREAT ENDING

I love the Muppets also. We have all of their TV shows and movies on DVD.

What loop program did you use? What did you use to mix and master?

John,

Good stuff. Also curious to your loop construction. Muppets at the end were hilarious!

I put it together as an example for Alan 'Guitar Man' who is just starting out experimenting with loops.
I just used Sonar, and brought in various loops 'as is' from SmartLoops (drums and bass), and all the rest from free cover disks that came with 'Computer Music' magazine. The Waldorf and Statler sample I recorded from YouTube. I didn't apply any EQ or anything - just mixed down to one stereo track and applied some FinalPlug to punch up the end product a little.
