Somewhere buried deep (and probably unfindable) in the ancient LD archives is a conversation I once had with Duncan Goddard (of Radio Massacre International) which began with me saying that I often prefer to record string parts first onto 1/4" analog tape before moving it over into the digital realm. Duncan (like myself, a huge Mellotron fan) said he's done this for years as well. (All of which is fair game for looping either on the way to the tape or afterwards, of course.) Also the preponderance of "tape simulation", faux-dub, "lo-fi", hi-cut, et cetera features to be found either in rack gear or VSTs suggests that dirtying something up is pretty widespread. So I think the general features of your idea are probably already quite well-represented, although the specifics of what you do with it are always fertile ground. -t- http://timothynelsonmusic.com/ http://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/TimNelson http://www.facebook.com/timothynelsonmusic ----- Original Message ----- From: Tyler <programmer651@comcast.net> To: loopers-delight@loopers-delight.com Cc: Sent: Friday, June 22, 2012 6:39 PM Subject: simulated tape loops Hello! Is this my original idea, or has it been done before? If it has been done before, I would like to hear from some people. Simulated tape loops. You take a digital audio file that was converted from a tape (therefore it still has tape noise, and is lower quality than a made-digital sound), and you use audio software to loop the tape-sampled digital recording, simulating a tape loop. Is this my original idea? Tyler Z
