Thats a odd suggestion. Odd enough to work. I will go through my midi loops and see what i have.

I agree. Thats easy i think :-) (easy to say, hard to do)

Thanks,
Opinion is something i entertain but wont kill myself over as there are so many opinions.
I have taken so many positives from the responses and when the song gets them added in as appropriate i think you will all be pleasantly suprised. Its going to a different but not your 3 versions different. I honestly dont have the time to do that.

Your gear is good enough so work on making the most of the tools you have and combining them in different ways. |
I aggree and thanks.
