Excellent. I like to hear that.
> Krispen, may you tell us about
the looping set up?.
> Is your looping system enterely laptop based?.
Yes, everything but one song
(Cthulhu On Mars, which is using a Boss VF1 for delay/pitch in addition
to the laptop)) is laptop based. I use a Lenovo (IBM) ThinkPad T60p
(Intel Duo) with the Inigo IO cardslot soundcard. I use an LR Baggs
acoustic preamp on some of the songs too, to condition the level of the
mandolin, EQ, etc. Inside the notebook, I'm using Chainer as a VST
host, with several VST effects (Reaktor, Hipno, PSP42/84, etc...and
some of my own MAX/MSP patches converted to VST). And I'm using Mobius
to loop, controlled by the Behringer FCB controller.
> Tweaks on "Probe Out" are wonderful.
> All going here is Reaktor processing?.
The frst half of the song is
primarly just looping with the mandolin with reverb, delay, chorus, and
then mid way through the song I start using a varity of Reaktor
ensembles. This CD was heavy with Reaktor. It's practicaly an
advertisement for the program! :)
