All you augustas/mobius/ > live type people... Thanks for a refreshing post! You're right on the spot: computers may indeed hurt your health... but so may also cello bow playing of electric guitars ;-) I would just like to add a note on "Mobius": I have chosen to use it for the same reason I chose a flute (before more technically complex instruments like for example a guitar): I simply pick it up and play it. It's you and the music - no need for tedious adjusting of parameters or replacing strings that lost intonation etc. But as with all instruments you need to take some serious time off to set it up musically, but once that's done you're flying. The dangerous trap is that you can be fooled to think that because the looper lives inside a computer you have to set up this looping rig according to some technical specifications, when you should rather let your musical aspirations call for the chosen feature set- up. I kind of agree with Andy that you really don't have to do something just "because it's possible". Music is about expression and communication and those areas must be kept for things to get started, no matter available CPU power or number of plug-ins ;-) Greetings from Sweden Per Boysen www.boysen.se (Swedish) www.looproom.com (international) http://tinyurl.com/fauvm (podcast) http://www.myspace.com/looproom
