Re: Looping vocals
Neil, How was your system configured with the mic? I have an acoustic
and I loop my voice through my guitar mic but was thinking using my
main mic would give me a greater range of sounds.
How do others do this?
I prefer to be hands free and loop while I'm playing guitar which gets
looped as well.
