Thanks Bill! I really loved your last few video. I've been reading the
Mobius manual since I saw your last video trying to figure out how I could
make pulsing rhythms like that out of some string chords I layer up.
I actually usually use the 4099! For this radiohead one I'm using an RE20,
which I usually use for recording, and I did it as an experiment. It
sounds nicer for pizz but I think I like the 4099 much better overall. The
softstep is great because the light bulb went off for this last video that
can loop with only mics if I'm just doing a video recording with only the
softstep(without any clicking stompboxes). Sounds soooo much nicer than
bowing a bass with a pickup. Usually I just loop with my pickup and kick
in the 4099 when I play over top of the loops. Depending or not if I use
any stompboxes on the next video I'm gonna try blending both mics.
