How to Create A Loop In Reason – Part 1

How to Create A Loop In Reason – Part 2

• Blessed Be the Name – Matt Redman [rns available from SacredLoops.org]
  • Loop by C.J. Bergman
  • Playability 
  • Creativity
  • Overall: Bergman’s arrangement is pretty standard–not too uncommon, considering most versions of Blessed Be the Name are the same I – V – vi – IV progression throughout the song. His creative input gives the song something new to listen for, with a slowly building instrumentation and complexity during the length of the song.

• Rain Down – David Crowder Band [m4a]
  • Playability 
  • Creativity 

• Foreverandever Etc… - David Crowder Band [rns available from SacredLoops.org]
  • Loop by C.J. Bergman
  • Playability
  • Creativity
  • Overall: Sounds a lot like the original; well-made loop.

• Not to Us – Chris Tomlin [rns available from SacredLoops.org]
  • Loop by C.J. Bergmen
  • Playability
  • Creativity

• No One Like You – David Crowder Band [rns available from SacredLoops.org]
  • Loop by C.J. Bergman
  • Playability 4 out of 5 stars
  • Creativity 5 out of 5 stars
  • Overall: Different than the recorded version; much funkier. Relatively easy to follow as is, but needs some additional Refill packs.

• Make A Joyful Noise – David Crowder Band [rns available from SacredLoops.org]
  • Loop by C.J. Bergman
  • Playability 3 out of 5 stars
  • Creativity 3 out of 5 stars
  • Overall: Pretty basic approach, but well-done. Sounds a bit grungy, but workable.

• Here Is Our King – David Crowder Band [rns available from SacredLoops.org]
  • Loop by C.J. Bergman
  • Playability 1 out of 5 stars
  • Creativity 1 out of 5 stars
  • Overall: This version is a little rough around the edges, hard to follow, and doesn’t maintain a harmonic structure as well as some of the others. It does have a decent chorus sound toward the middle of the song.

• Blessed Be the Name – Matt Redman [rns available from SacredLoops.org]
  • Playability 1 out of 5 stars
  • Creativity 5 out of 5 stars
  • Overall: Very difficult to follow; very creative use of synths and other instruments.

• Blessed Be the Name – Matt Redman [rns available from SacredLoops.org]
  • Playability 4 out of 5 stars
  • Creativity 2 out of 5 stars
  • Overall: A bit simpler version, but it follows the structure and harmonic motion well.
