Re: Best looper for recording?



Interesting... I found myself unexpectedly shocked by this seemingly 
innocuous point of view. 

Technically, I understand just using cycle-record within a DAW as the 
simple way to do things of course. (Lord knows my life would have been 
easier these last few years and I would have made more music for sure.) 
And yet, the idea of using that method as the only or main method 
is---well, so uncompelling as to be a shock to imagine. Sure, it works in 
a pinch, but what of that feeling that comes from the juggling act / 
immediacy-of-conversation-with-the-muse where one note suggests the next 
as if you're thinking it but it's out-loud in real time?

There's a time for each style but they are not the same. Cycle record is 
to limited to loose one's self in the moment and take it to unexpected 
places. l guess I see recording as enhancing what one does live but not 
replacing it. That "live" process itself is the goal for me, regardless of 
the presence of an audience. In fact, in many ways the audience just gets 
in the way. 

Don't listen to me though, I've hardly created anything new since I 
started trying to do everything in the box and that's not fulfilling 
either.
