I've found it's much healthier for me to make the music I can, with the gear I have, than to waste time _not_ making music because I don't have a particular tool. You have twice the max delay time I have-- my only looper is a Vortex. You're actually in a very solid position with respect to equipment, because you have most of the bases covered-- you don't _need_ anything desperately. This means you can wait till you find bargains (like last winter's closeout Lexicon gear), rather than spending a lot of money to expand your rig. And I somehow doubt that Jon and Kim feel the freedom to modify their new Klein guitars that you enjoy with the Predator. ;-) > Any interesting artists/bands I should hear? Be sure to take advantage of the music offered on the Web by the folks right here on this list! See the World-Wide Index of Loop Artists (http://www.annihilist.com/loop/profiles/Profiles.html) at the Looper's Delight. I'm gradually working through them myself. I've really enjoyed and learned from Stephen Goodman's (http://www.primenet.com/~sgoodman/Studios/) and Matt McCabe's (http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~finley/kingnever.html) music. >Any looping tips? Do it! Trust your own ear and judgment-- if your music doesn't satisfy _you_, how can it satisfy anyone else? Listen to any music you hear-- good or bad, looped or not, whether you like it or not. If you don't like something, ask yourself why, so you can keep it from happening in your own music. Ask questions. "The only stupid question is the one you don't ask." > Boy I really sound like a dork.
