Yo I am back with another banga, for all my Canadian fellows out there, I am dabbing into your local bakery with Drake.

Let's goooo!!!

I shouldn't ruin the spirit and the magic of it all, but this, looping in one sequence, takes at least 16 hours...

Like for 2 full days, you gonna try to get that perfect sound. If something fails, you have to start again...From the beginning!!

If I can compare it to something, it's like landing one of these complicated trick shots or doing a crazy jump with a flip on your skateboard.

It takes forever to get a full version. Sometimes you get the music right, but then you start forgetting the lyrics. Sometimes you just forget to press the right button at the right time or to record the right thing.

Nothing is left to improvisation, and in the end, it's actually super fun, and very satisfying when it works...

There are moments when I give up, take a short break, and get back to it. I did 3 "good versions", but this one was by far superior.
When you have a good version, logic is you wanna stop, but I am never fully satisfied until there's a moment when you hit that sweet spot when you know "this is the one".

I think I am improving while doing that, pretty cool!

Oh, every Friday Night, EU time at 9 pm, I will be streaming, just improvising with the loop if you're interested.

[Intro]
You used to call me on my
You used to, you used to
Yeah
[Chorus]
You used to call me on my cell phone
Late-night when you need my love
Call me on my cell phone
Late-night when you need my love
And I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
[Verse 1]
Ever since I left the city, you
Got a reputation for yourself now
Everybody knows and I feel left out
Girl, you got me down, you got me stressed out
'Cause ever since I left the city, you
Started wearin' less and goin' out more
Glasses of champagne out on the dance floor
Hangin' with some girls I never seen before
[Chorus]
You used to call me on my cell phone
Late-night when you need my love
Call me on my cell phone
Late-night when you need my love
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing

[Verse 2]
Ever since I left the city, you, you, you
You and me, we just don't get along
You make me feel like I did you wrong
Goin' places where you don't belong
Ever since I left the city, you
You got exactly what you asked for
Runnin' out of pages in your passport
Hangin' with some girls I've never seen before
[Chorus]
You used to call me on my cell phone
Late-night when you need my love
Call me on my cell phone
Late-night when you need my love
And I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
[Bridge]
These days, all I do is
Wonder if you're bendin' over backwards for someone else
Wonder if you're rollin' up a Backwoods for someone else
Doing things I taught you, gettin' nasty for someone else
You don't need no one else
You don't need nobody else, no
Why you never alone?
Why you always touchin' road?
Used to always stay at home
Be a good girl, you was in the zone
Yeah, you should just be yourself
Right now, you're someone else
[Chorus]
You used to call me on my cell phone
Late-night when you need my love
Call me on my cell phone
Late-night when you need my love
And I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
[Outro]
Ever since I left the city—

So yeah sorry for not being active too much on hive, I am trying to push that looping thing, I really enjoy it, I hope it was worth the investment.
I know that I am getting the hang of it now, so hopefully people will appreciate it as much as I do.

The cool thing is now I am also using it on my own songs, for live performances. Next step is to get an effect pedal for the guitar, and a few more things to improve live sound, like a DI box, a switch to be able to switch off the mic when not needed, and also hopefully getting a brand new sound card for better recording, because the loop station is plugged straight up in my phone, quite impressive if you ask me.

Dang it's like 2am and I've been just practicing for the live streaming on Friday, it's exciting really, trying to play all in all sort of way, sometimes it's really a hit and miss though. You gotta experiment!
