Re[2]: HOW MANY LOOPS DO YOU USE SIMLUTANEOUSLY?

[Travis Lund <tlund@berklee.net>]

I run with a Boss RC-50, so I'm pretty much limited to 3 loops (though 
they can be as long as I want and have infinite overdubs).  I suppose 
something like Ableton where I could have each individual part on a 
seperate loop and manipulate them individually would be more ideal, but at 
this point I'm not sure how much I'd really use all that extra space.  I 
usually do any processing to the sounds before I take them into the 
looper, and once they're in I don't neccessarily feel the need to mess 
with 'em.  Live, I reserve one loop for rhythmic/percussive/bassline or 
drone stuff, one for short-medium length melodic themes, and one for 
ambient/harmonic/textural stuff.  I'll usually fade out or pull down the 
level of the harmonic loop, while playing new chords or textures as a way 
to transition, then delete the old textures and loop the new ones.  Then, 
if I have a different melody, I'll start playing the new one while I take 
the old one down, delete, and loop the new one, so one loop stays 
constant, while the other 2 "leapfrog".  I guess more loops with greater 
control would be nice, but not neccessary.
Cheers and happy looping,
-Travis

for song oriented gigs i have the EDP set up to 4
loops to sort of keep up with the song arrangement,
although i rarely go past 3.Anyway is nice to
alternate between them every once in a while to keep
your sanity
