Re: Looping (was Re: Frank & stupidity)



cool sites.

the sound of the sweep on the uw site (bda.wav) didn't sound right to me at
all, though

i made some sweeps based on shepard tones a few years ago
and have yet to use them in a musical way.
if anyone is interested in hearing them, drop me an email.
(i don't have my own web site just yet)
