No, I think you missed something there. We were talking about a particular technique you could do with copies to acheive the effect of having multiple loops at once. The normal case is all the loops are completely independent of each other, you can record anything into any of them, any length. If you *want* to, you can copy the audio from any one loop to any other. So you could have Loop1's audio be the base of Loop5, or Loop4 be the base of Loop2, or whatever. You can also copy just the time base, so that any loop can be a multiple length of another, which is helpful for keeping things in time. For example, you could have a 2.1 second loop in Loop3, and copy just the time to Loop5 so that it is also 2.1 sec but with different audio, and then you could do the same to loop8 but let it extend out 3 times longer to be 6.3 seconds, etc. Its very flexible. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
