Bryan, If you are using your guitar port with a PC, you might consider a software looper. Since you are already using a computer, it wouldn't add any more equipment or expense to your set up. I like Elottronix XL, which is a VST plug in modeled after Robert Fripp's old tape set-up: http://www.uv.es/%7Eruizcan/p_vst.htm You'll need some sort of VST host program to use it. I've had good luck with both Audiomulch and EnergyXT. Ambiloop is a stand alone app that also has a good reputation. Since Elottronix and Ambiloop are freeware, you won't lose anything by giving them a try. Another nice thing about software loopers is that it's straightforward to keep them in sync with a drum machine or sequencer. --- Art Simon http://art.simon.tripod.com http://artsimon.iuma.com simart@null.net --------- Original Message --------- DATE: Thu, 13 May 2004 13:23:10 From: Bryanvandonslear@wmconnect.com To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com Cc: I am new to the list and I am trying to figure out which looping device to buy. I am mainly a guitarist. I have been playing witht the digital delay in my guitarport which has a couple of seconds of delay and which gets dense very quickly. My main reference for looping is Robert Fripps Frippertronics. I would like to be able to have a looper that will basically do what Fripps equipment did.....loop things so I can play against them and build layers. I am thinking that a unit like the line 6 unit, boomerang, or Boss loop station should do this nicely but I am not completely sure. I also noticed in an ad in Guitarworld that Akai has released a new version of the Headrush.....it is E2 rather than E1. Does anyone know anything about this unit. I will be using the unit with a guitar port. This has no effects loop so I am wondering one should put the loop unit ahead of the guitarport or after it. If anyone can shed light on these issues I would be greatly appreciative.
