The >lower the budget, the better, but not necessary. A lot of what I do depends on source material that isn't heard by either the audience OR myself until it is already in the loop! This could be a recipe for disaster, but I find that it keeps me on my toes and invites serendipitous musical development. I'm using CD playback with a mixer setup that allows sending to the loopers without the source signal being also sent into the output mix. I've been using an old Mackie 1604 mixer with output monitoring assigned to "solo." That way I can punch channels in and out at will. -- ______________________________________________________________ Richard Zvonar, PhD (818) 788-2202 http://www.zvonar.com http://RZCybernetics.com
