Advice gurus
Hi, my name is Matteo , I'm writing you form the far and sunny Italy, because I really need an advice from you gurus. I'm mad for your great web site and I really trust your opinions. I'm a songwriter, I used to play in a band but now I'd lke to play alone. My kind of music is all that kind stuff called like "lo-fi", psycho-indie, and so on. Well, sincerly talking I'm not "all" alone I play together with my notebook. I play guitar and sing then there's my notebook (PC). I used to prepare some loops at home and then during live gigs play my guitar and sing while the notebook plays those loops. Now I'm looking for something different. I'd like to record even those loops during the live set, "on the fly" as you say. I know you perfectly know what I mean but due to my bad English I try to explain in any case (I don't want to be miss understood). I'd like to start play with my guitar, for example a simple riff or arpeggios with a pair of chords record it and while I'm starting to play something other the device keep playing the previous loop , then add another loop and then continuing hearing the previous two playing something else on hit and so on (like 3, or 4 loops or maybe more if possible). I want to do it during live gigs so I need something easy to use if possible. Well Hardware talking I obviously prefer a pedal more than a rack/mini rack. In my budget level I think there are these 4 (I read the reviews on the web page) : the Akai Headrush, the Line6 (the green one), The Boss and The Boomerang. I play alone as I told you so something in which I can connect more than an Instrument (like guitar + voice= could be interesting.
1- What's your advices , please write me down your favourite order (if you have one) because since I live in Italy, maybe your absolute favourite is impossible to find here.
2- Can you suggest even a software application to do that sort of thing, (maybe the hrdware is better , but just to know), I think Ableton Live is supposed to do this sort of things.
3- Does anybody knows what Joseph Arthur (one of my favourite songwriter) use for his fantastics loops ?
Thanks a lot in advance , I'm proud to be one of the new of the community.
Bye, Matteo
