This is the first backing loop track I've made in Reason. It's for the song "You Alone Can Rescue" written by Matt Redman and I used for our church service a week ago to fill things out while playing the acoustic guitar. It's in the original key (B) and runs at 76 BPM. I play along with it until the end of the "We Lift Up our Eyes" part and then finish out the final chorus with just the guitar alone.
Comments and critique are most welcome and please let me know if you find this useful. Thanks!

I'm back....
I've switched to the Mac 1 1/2 years ago, and it's been great. No glitches that I can recall. Had one problem with the motherboard where the battery would not charge, but brought it back to the Apple store and they repaired it.
One of the best things about the Mac's is the Time Machine backup. "It just works!" Two months ago, I upgraded to a MacBook Pro (wanted to get Firewire which was missing on my aluminum MacBook.) When I first started up the machine, after answering a few questions, it asked me if I wanted to transfer my setup from a Time Machine disk. I answered Yes, plugged in my USB drive from the old computer, and it happily work for a little over an hour, not requiring me to do anything!
Well, it successfully transferred all my files, applications, everything, and even handled the fact that my old Mac was running OSX 10.5.8 Leopard and the new one was 10.6 Snow Leopard. I know that whenever I've had to upgrade to a new PC it takes the good part of a day to move everything over and get it all working properly.
I've augmented Ableton Live with Propellerheads Reason, mainly due to the large library of available backing tracks / loops that are available for many of the songs I play. It's been a quick learn, although I sense that there is alot more that Reason can do, and I'm just scratching the surface. I can say, that it seems to be able to quickly find a great sound much easier and quicker in Reason than in Live. Not sure why, but I wonder if it has to do with the built-in Mastering Combinators in Reason. I also like the face that I can quickly audition different presets more quickly in Reason, so I can find a base sound that can then be tweaked.
Anyway, if anyone was following this quiet blog, I hope to post a tad more regularly.
