[Fmpro] Compositions using PD Loops

[Jim Chase]

I'll have to side a bit with Chris on this issue.  Although we never use 
loops @BillyHaleMusic that we did not create ourselves, I personally 
have used free Public Domain loops successfully in the past.  The 
resulting compositions are not my own, but compilations of PD loops 
using Acid, and CoolPro.  They sound okay, but will never be published.  
They are pedagogic, and for the amusement of a few close friends.  
Commercial loops have their (limited) place in original compositions, 
but give me a sheet of staves, and a pencil any day.

Like many of you on the Fmpro list, I still keep a handful of musical 
instruments around the crib, but now they only serve as glorified tuning 
forks for the sounds in my head.  I input my hand written notes into 
music composition software, and out pops a MIDI file.  Co-writer Billy 
Hale takes that MIDI file, proofs it, and filters it through his 
$$$oftware, and Viola! out comes the sound stage rendition, fatter than 
anything I could ever image in my wildest wet dreams!

The charge of "User of Loops" is bought before the court against the 
defendant, Jim Chase.
"Guilty as charged, Your Honor."
