Re: Seeking Inspiration



Hi Michael,

What I love about looping: 

For me, live looping offers the audience something different than the average pop song which unfolds within 10 seconds. Yes, you demand more patience and concentration of your audience. But the reward after the build up is always there, and can give them a sense of a magical experience. With live looping I like to stretch out that pop music doesn't always need to be consumed like fast food.

Moreover, it’s a full-fledged instrument that you have to learn to play. Live looping challenges you to keep on being very meticulous and resourceful as a musician. So it's also about craftmanship: your timing and intonation have to be spot on. 

Good luck with your quest!

Hello all,

I am putting together a new rig, and experiencing the normal challenges along the way, but I’m sure I can figure that all out eventually. However, I thought I would post a different sort of question than we usually see on this list. I would post it on FB but I don’t generally frequent that.  So here goes:

What do you love about looping?

And, I’m not talking the general stuff like “I don’t need a band,” or “I like to hear my own voice layered 12 times” (guilty). 

What is it about the aesthetic, ethos and the creative process that appeals to you?

I’m hoping that some of your answers will spark more energy for me to tackle my technical roadblocks.  I’ll do some thinking and answer my own question later. I don’t want your answers to be a response to mine and I want to give it some thought.

Peace and adventure,

Michael Carlson

The reset did not happen.

Exchange with TC on twitter - they think the unit needs more than 300 mA even though it says right on the unit that it expects 300 mA. They recommend I use the wall wart that came with it, but alas that wall wart is at home in Oakland and I am in LA heading for Arizona. 

I guess I’m gonna stop at a music store in Pasadena and buy a new TC wall wart. Hope it works!

Than you for the advice, groupmind…
