Re: Interactive Looping with Crowd

[Tim Nelson <psychle62@yahoo.com>]

One thing I've done that's been kind of fun is to hang a couple of mics up 
over the audience; they don't think anything of it because it just looks 
like I'm set up to record the show. But during a break, I open a loop and 
catch a few layers of crowd chatter, which I don't bring up in the mix 
until a good ways into the first piece of the next set, when I bring my 
instrument way down. Sometimes I've brought it in backwards (or 
pitchshifted or heavily 'verbed) and waited a little while to bring it 
back to normal again... It's funny to see the reaction; to the audience it 
sounds familiar, but they're not quite sure why, and then they suddenly 
realize that it's them!
