Where is the end?



Yo loopers!

What strategies do people use to know when a loop ends
when adding overdubs?  Ie, how do you know when to stop
adding the overdub because the length of the base loop
is almost up, so you don't overlap the overdub with itself.

Some thoughts I have are:

Play a certain number of beats on the first dub and
count beats on the following overdubs

Put in a musical signal to mark the end of the loop,
eg break, double beat, different note...

Make the contents of the first loop unique so you can
follow it easily so you always know where you are in
the loop

Some of my question may derive from the facts that
I am primarily a percussionist, and I use the one
track Boss RC-20.


Yours in rhythm,
Steve
