RE: is using Pre-recorded Loops Cheating

["Luk Van Lieshout" <Luk.van.lieshout@telenet.be>]

Hello Loopers all over the World,

I'm Luk (33 y.o.) I play electric guitar in various styles.
This is my first post to you.  Respect.

I just recently bought me a Digitech Jamman, because after yet again seeing
a band breaking up where I play in I've gotten dissappointed in making 
Music
as a groupeffort.

When looping I can avoid having to depend on other people that often turn
out to be quitters.

I would choose to be using pre-recorded tracks/loops in order to not having
to bore people having to see me recording every part live on stage.

For example... when I buy a pie I don't want to see all the stages of 
making
it,... but I want to enjoy the finished product as it is ment to be 
enjoyed.

Have a look at these video's... I think they prove my point.

Any -Joe- can see they're playing to a pre-recorded backing track.
But does anyone really mind??  Just don't pretend to play everything
yourselve when you are not. Then you are cheating people.

I think these guys prove there is nothing wrong with using pre recorded
backing tracks/loops when you're a true musician who knows what Music is 
all
about.

The only problem I see is that it might get boring for non-musicians. 
But hey... you can't please everyone.


Peacefull greetings from Antwerp, Flanders, Belgium, Europe , Earth ,
Infinity

I never, ever pre-record.

And I worry about my loop pieces going on too long, but they have to 
evolve in their own time.
