Hi all, this is my 1st post.
I hope to perform live with a french horn
and looping setup.
I have to warn you I am a newbie to music tech -
many apologies if this sort of question has been posted before.
I have just purchased a Boss VE20 vocal effects
processor (with harmoniser and looper) and a shure m57 mic. My first
attempt I have posted on my myspace page - http://www.myspace.com/jonbarrett95,
'Negev dawn' (ambient-type).
I think the looper is quite limited on this pedal
and I'll have to supplement performances with a computer or another loop
pedal.
I wanted the technology to be at an absolute
minimum, and I'm not much good with computers, so I'm tending towards the idea
of another, additional, loop pedal.
So, which do you think would be better-
a) French horn > mic >
mixer/splitter > Boss VE20 and/or effects pedals > additional looper
> PA
or
b) horn & computer (with ableton or something)
> Boss VE20 > PA
or even
c) an additional band member!
I'm concerned with the present setup everything
would end up sounding the same. Plus I'll have to be very accurate with the
looping with this Boss pedal. But I do want to keep things as simple as possible
- a computer in a live performance would strike me with terror (stablity
etc)!
Also, I'm not quite sure where to put the effects
pedals in the chain in a) (there aren't enough effects on the VE20 to be honest
meaning I will again have to supplement.).
If anyone has ideas for additional items in the
chain (if I've made glaring ommisions etc) that'd be most welcome.
Cheers,
