Re: Attn: Matthias; Learning How to use the EDP?

[Sean Echevarria <sean_@mindspring.com>]

These questions are akin to asking what's the recommended standard 
configuration setup for a blank canvas.  Or asking whether you should use 
acrylics, watercolors, oils, chalk, pastels, broad strokes, fine strokes,  
etc.  There is no recommended standard.  Some people have already 
responded that they like to loop an effected sound and others like to 
post-process their loops.  Some do it both ways <gasp>.
