if money and weight is no problem, why not use
a THIRD looper?

Hi Nathan, barge away,
This techique of creating a short
loop, then manually multiplying by re-recording into a longer loop is
perfectly valid, and one that many loopers use, myself included. Your
idea of being able to feed the new loop back into the first looper to create
another longer (or shorter) loop is commendable. This will work
fine, you won't lose too much audio quality, but getting the timing
spot-on is going to be a major headache, especially live. Also the
mechanics of physically switching the correct A-B box etc. at the right time
will also prove to be a bit of a nightmare in a live situation, beware
!
I used to have a very complex switching system that allowed me to
send a loop from one device into the input of any other device (including the
front end of my guitar preamp/multiFX), which gave me lots of versatility, but
slowed up the music making process too much to be of any use live. I
have simplified my rig somewhat, but aim to simplify further so that I can
concentrate more on making music and expanding ideas, rather than pushing
buttons and giving less room for technological errors (live
anyway).
Hava look at the pics of my set up on myspace, and listen to
some tracks while you're
there.

Hi
everybody,
Sorry to barge into the "discussion" . I'm new here but
have been
recieving the mail for a while now.
I'm Nathan from
Amsterdam/The Netherlands and i have a one-manproject
with a
electronic/acoustic drumkit and this instrument i made which
is like a
little table with amplified basestrings on it.
I have i question for
you guys, maybe you can help me.
I use a Boss RC20xl in which i feed the
electronic part of my drumkit
plus the stringthing, but want to be able
to run more loops.
So i am thinking of buying an rc2 to join in on the
fun. The
signalpath i was thinking of
is;
soundsource>looper#1>looper#2>amp, but allso from looper#1
straight
to amp(with a double jack-thingie) AND from looper#2 by means
of an
AB-switch back to looper#1.
i only have to add 2 volumepedals
(one for each)
this way i can **copy loops from one looper to the
other and
**adjust the starting and endingpoint of them
**have a lot
of possibilities to erase any
mistakes
it'll just be quite
difficult to use this all with possibly only one
foot.
and yes; i
would love to have an echoplex!!! but it's a lot of money
(€1333,- over
here and this extra rc2 is 179,-)
o wait, the question is; is this a
good idea?
the music i make is quite experimental and noisy, but good
timing is
still very essential. i guess you could see my stuff as Steve
Reichs
"Drumming" and then with distortion or something.
:)
bye!
