Maybe the death of backing up loops

[PERILLE <perille@club-internet.fr>]

Saving loops on hard disk or whatever sounds less interesting to me than
it could have been several years ago.

Before designing my DJRND2, I designed a prototype with a SCSI hard
disk. Its first capacity was 350Mbytes. The disk was full up in the next
couple of years. Then I bought another disk with a capacity of 3Giga
bytes. And Now ... nothing else : it stays in my cupboard.

I have recorded so many loops that when I play some of them twice a
year, its sounds just like a souvenir, photos of my last holidays.

Now, performance for me is rather in the ease of recording perfect loops
on live than saving them and try to do something more afterwards.

I have more pleasure to play with my DJ looper to cycle live phrases and
improvise their mixing while recording the result on MD, than backing up
the same loops I can immediately, perfectly and easily cycle again
afterwards.
