RE: noise issues - not a "problem" but an issue

["JAMES FOWLER, III" <jimfowler@prodigy.net>]

no compression.  preamp --> edp --> amp

what i'll do is record an empty loop and mute all inputs.  then i play note 1 and hit overdub immediately after just to cut off the attack.  after a few of these, the noise gets pretty significant. 

i'm sure there's some way to circumvent this by staying in delay mode and working with the switchblade. 

but now i wonder what it is about loop mode that causes noise to build up while in delay mode, even though it's always open (in that you can always add sounds to the mix), no noise seems to get introduced.  i just don't know enough about the structure of the designs...

thanks anyhow.
