OK, I have to toss one of my techniques in.. :) This is a technique that a) heavily modifies the sound, over time, and b) is just a wierd way to do looping... Using an internet streaming client, stream your audio out to the internet, while doing this, tune in to listen to the stream, wah lah! welcome to long loops and heavy sonic manipulation as each loop is decoded and re-encoded... now, I know you could do this without an internet connection, but, I love the 'chaos' of the undetermined delay times... hehe... After doing this I thought about creating a standalone piece of software for doing it, but, well, it's one of those projects that was never compelling enough to complete... But, now that I am rambling about it, maybe I should see about adding something like this to AmbiLoop..
