Re: A multi channel looper

[phaslem@wightman.ca]

Hi James,

I've been doing exactly that for several years now. just get yourself  
a small mixer, or whatever size you need, that has an effects loop, or  
you can send your main outs through the looper and then on to your  
main mixing board. I've had quite favorable results using the RC 50  
but more recently have been going the computer route and running  
everything through mobius. I believe you'll find there are quite a few  
different solutions, you just need to sit down and figure out exactly  
what your needs for the looper are and then allow yourself some extra  
features for your own future development.

Good luck,
