Full Compositions with Loopers
I am omitting the previous entries on this thread.
I have some experience with the tools listed (Jamman, EDP, DL4, RC-20,
Repeater, not the Boomerang tho).
Only the EDP and the Repeater gave me the flexibility to do what I wanted
without compromise. I had a Repeater for an afternoon--until I discovered
the dry signal latency--that killed it for me.
I like the RC for what it is--and the DL4 too is very cool for what it
does.
The problem has to do with trying to create the structure of existing
songs,
rather than simply improvising. I even rehearsed with a Jamman and
Cakewalk
(a sequencer) to make it happen--but until I got an EDP, I was very
limited.
I had to sell one of my two EDPs recently, but that seemed to be the way
for
me to go--loop percussion on one, then record sections on the other EDP to
create, oh say, Layla . . .
Now strictly speaking, if I just use acoustic guitar and voice, I can use
the RC or the DL4 to make it happen--loop shorter sections of tunes to solo
over, and avoid the whole "live sequencing" requirement"--but what am I,
chicken? 8^)
So my vote goes for the EDP, soon (?) to be available . . Or maybe the new
Live4? Hmm . . . .
