I actually have 10 minute loop time. I use my minidisc live and can record loops of any length. has anyone else done this? the minidisc will glitch-lessly loop pieces of any length up to 74 minutes. very cool. I want another one now. How does it affect my music? I still don't find myself going for five minute loops, really. your loop only needs to be 30 secs or so to be 'long,' if you know what i mean. repetition is not very apparent on 1+ long loops. Not to say that it useless. I think it's because I have 4 secs on my delay pedal, 55 secs on my SU10 and 8 secs on my jam man..... I don't tend to use the MD for loops way longer than the loops I get coming out of my other kit. Although -- just writing that makes me think of what it would sound like if I sampled a minute or two of my other loops going and then looped that back into the mix. so wonderfully confusing! I highly recomend checking out MiniDisc tech. I picked up my *very* small MZR50 (Sony) for $333 new... the sound quality is very good (much better than on the original units) and it allows you to loop between index points, set index points on the fly, etc. coupled with a pair of stealth binaurials (sp?) it makes a great boot taper/enviornmental sound recorder as well. I looped some great stereo traffic noise from it at my last show and it rocked. It's amazing the cadences that will eventually become noticable in 10-15 sec. loops like that. anyway. glad to be on this list -- best list I've found so far on the net -- lot's of content here! cheers. _________________________________ /robb monn -- robm@nytimes.com |
