Re: the side effects of looping

[Brian Kupferschmid <apparitionapparition@yahoo.com>]

I kind of do, but you have to try to make a part of
what you do a part of the band sound.  I've always
thought thet way, in the sense that I think in layers,
but mine was more of an orchestrated thing, I can hear
the complete song in my head.  really, all you have to
do is learn how to break those layers down into what
would be your part, then let the others figure out
their parts, while you'll have no control over what
they come up with, you know your part, and who knows,
if you think about it, you can still use those layers
to augment the rest of the band. Think of the studio
as one giant looper, the only difference being you are
looping in doses and not in real time.  Does this make
much sense?
