Here's a funny loop-related story. In March of 2010, I heard about Imogen from a friend of mine, and she and I started listening together. She had been a Heap fan since a year before I became one. The new Ellipse album was unbelievable. I then heard about a remix of Imogen Heap, a song by Jason Derulo titled "Whatcha Say." Part of the Heap song was looped in that song, and that's how we became loop fans. Because of a pop song by Jason Derulo with loops in it. I would have never guessed that Imogen Heap herself used loops (even though that now that I am aware of that, I think I hear some). A year and a half later, we discovered tape looping, which we thought sounded cool. In February 2012, I Googled tape looping, and found Looper's Delight, which was touted as a site for anyone who uses any kinds of loops. I showed no interest in live looping until a couple of days after subscribing to the list, I found the live stuff amazing. I still need to look over the pros and cons of different live looping devices. So I joined as an Audacity / Studio Recorder / Sound Forge ... generic audio editing software looping and electronic music artist with a Yamaha keyboard.
