Custom loop available: “You Won’t Relent” by Misty Edwards

Tagged Under : , , , ,

This custom loop is for use with Misty Edwards’  “You Won’t Relent” off her album Relentless. The song has an unmistakable melodic hook, but I think one of the challenges for me in the loop was how to restrain that. This arrangement(parts, not instrumentation) follows the Jesus Culture performance of this song which is 10 minutes long. So the challenge here was how do I show restraint in the loop arrangement instrumentation wise, layer slowly and hit that hook in a way that doesn’t become too repetitive. I’ll let you be the judge of how successful or unsuccessful I was at that.

You can stream the loop below but you are not able to download the loop. In order to download the loop files you need to send payment through PayPal. The price for this loop is $14.99 as is. Once payment is received I’ll contact you and give you download instructions. The following is what’s delivered upon receipt of payment:

  • Loop (high quality stereo mp3 and aif)
  • Vocal Cue track (aif)
  • Master Reason 4 file (rns)
  • Arrangement Details (rtf, shows exactly what parts come in at what time)

As always though please comment and rate the loop to let me know what you think. I had a lot of fun making this loop and I’m pleased that the original customer is very happy with it.

Custom Loops

Need a Custom Loop?

I’ve been working with Reason and Abelton Live creating loops for worship songs both original and covers for a few years now. I’ve released most of them on this site and made them available for all to use for free. I’ve had a lot of inquiries about creating custom loops for people and I am now accepting these offers. Please browse the loops through the link above to get a sense of my musical sensibility and if you think my style is a good match for your needs. Here is some info on the process.

Pricing

Price varies based on the request details. How much instrumentation you’d like and so forth. The range is $100 – $200 per song, if you require live instrumentation/vocals to accompany the loop that ranges from $25-$50 additional for each live track. Again depending on the complexity of the live track.

What you receive

  • loop (uncompressed aif, high quality stereo mp3, master Reason/Ableton file)
  • Arrangement details (like a readme file navigating you through the song
  • Vocal Cue track (another track that cues you into each part and can be used alongside click track)

Terms

I will be very honest an open about my schedule and when you can expect completion of your loop. Ongoing communication through loop composing process is key to make sure you are happy as a customer. Your custom loop will not be given free to anyone but I do reserve the right to resell the custom loop for any price I deem appropriate. In order to make this worth the time and to keep the initial investment cost as low as possible to you the customer, I need to make these available for resell. On average a loop takes me 15-20 hours, if you do the math, without resell I’d be making about $5/hr-$10/hr.

If these terms sound agreeable to you please use the contact form below to contact me for a quote. I will follow up with you and we can discuss arrangement details of the song.
