How about a unit that allows stereo 44.1k loops, upto 80 mins in length for ~$20? Buy a cd player, and burn your own cds. You'll probably want a volume pedal for it too. Make sure you get one that doesn't pause between tracks, or when on repeat, and doesn't beep or make other noise when you press the buttons. It won't synch up with other gear, but that shouldn't be a problem for you, since neither do your other loopers. bIz ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Yoder" <myoder@tamiu.edu> To: <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2002 8:11 AM Subject: Need suggestions for sampling/storing loops > > -- > Hi fellow loopers, > > After searching the LD archives, I really didn't find too much of a > definitive answer to my question: What's the best product for > sampling, storing, and sequencing loops? > > I use the Line 6 and Boss RC-20 loopers, primarily with fretless bass > and e-bow.
