We use REASON a lot @LH_Church. I love it. Often we blend loops into a full band setting. This week, REASON is helping support and fill out the sound for a smaller team. We’ll use acoustic guitar and piano. Three vocalists. The loops help provide a percussive rhythm structure, they add effects and color, and I programmed in the Bass lines to fill out the sound. We’ll do a few songs simply, as well, without loops, but this is a powerful tool. And really fun to use.
I programmed this loop for the song “Everything Glorious” by David Crowder. Adding the acoustic instruments on top of this helps add the “human” artistic element to the song – but this mechanical loop works well for the techno feel Crowder has given to this song.
We did it in the key of C. You can download the chart from CCLI.com Song Select if you are a member. Feel free to download and use this loop if you want. This is an mp3 file. We use an iPod on the platform and run our loops from there. The first two bars of the loop set tempo before the guitar into. Otherwise we followed the chart pretty closely. End with the intro guitar riff and chords (4 measures). That should do it. Enjoy.
