Re: Gear setup suggestions



Well howdy, Sean!  Good to see you here!

I'm on the Mills didj list as well, and Tom Lambrecht is on both, too.  At 
least
I think he's still here.  (Tom?  Hello?)  And maybe a few others.

don't know.  Are 10-16 tracks too much to ask as an upward limit?

Most loopers (the boxes, not the people) don't deal in "tracks" in the 
sense of
multi-track recorders.  Rather than adding layers via separate tracks, 
it's like
you overdub onto the same track.  The effect is much the same but you 
don't have
separate volume control over each part  On the plus side, you can 
typically add
as many layers as you want.  On the minus side, you can't selectively 
remove an
arbitrary layer.

There are several very good loopers out there.  If you haven't already, 
I'd look
at the website under "Tools of the Trade"
 http://www.annihilist.com/loop/tools/tools.html ).  I found it very 
useful when
I bought my first looper.  Especially if you can find and read a manual 
before
buying.

BTW: Didjs were made for looping!
