That's pretty slick! Nicely done. Sadly it crashes
a lot on my old DELL M50 running Windoze 2k. But it's a great idea.

Subject: Presenting yet another looping
software: Tape Loops
Hello guys!
I would like to present to you yet another
looping software, but at the same time a new (old) approach to it.
http://www.louigiverona.ru/?page=projects&s=software&t=tapeloops
The
software is called Tape Loops and basically what it can do is play a sound
either looped or once. The app is very minimalistic and how it
works is you
start up several instances of it - so each deck is independent - and then just
play each of them, thus creating a live mix.
Tape Loops has a lot of
interesting features, most notably Random Play function and clustering. It is
possible to synchronize decks automatically
too.
What's good about this
software is that it basically emulates the tape loops situation. You couldn't
really synchronize them (only manually) and all
you could do was control
the length of the loop (by using, say, two decks and one tape loop over them
and placing the decks apart at the desired
distance), and of course, what
to record on those loops.
At the same time, the app is very visual, so
if you are performing, the audience can see exactly what you are doing. Each
sound is represented by
a "deck", not just some built in mixer. Also, you
have no limit to the amount of opened loops (but your computer
memory).
Anyway, I do think that a lot of you might find this app
interesting and useful.

ps: I do plan to make a
second version with one app and loops opening inside as small windows. it
would allow for easy synchronization and many
other functions which are not
technically possible in this implementation)
