Jeez, I'm getting clumsy - that was a premature send. Um, take two: "M.

Certain types of combinations are more effective for different types of approaches. Matthias also has an excellent EDP tutorial written: http://loopers-delight.com/tips/Plhints.html Lots of great technical and conceptual ideas, especially for a newcomer looking for a way to get their feet wet. > As for the pre/post or the before EDP after EDP effects question, I have > seen the posts how some have used one or the other, but not necessarily > a great amount as to why you would want it one way or the other. A few quick thoughts: (Potential) advantages to effects before the EDP: - Textural variety of sounds which occur within a single loop - Get more milage out of your effects by using different effects/settings for each different overdub - Use effects to put each new element in a different textural/frequency spot, so that the overall content of the loop is less congested. Reasons to effect after the EDP: - Turn what would be a static EDP loop into an evolving texture by tweaking it with processing - Turn the mono EDP into a stereo signal via pitch modulation, delay, reverb, etc. - Effects like reverb, delay, etc. can decay longer than the length of the loop - You're not stuck with the effect you used when you recorded it into the EDP Vis a vis these ideas, putting mono effects (stomp boxes and such) before the EDP, and stereo effects after the box, is a nice approach... And after trying this, then you can read about why I stopped using effects altogether: http://www.altruistmusic.com/EDP/muso.html#effects Anyway, hope that helps for starters. --Andre LaFosse http://www.altruistmusic.com
