The only looping-related thing I discovered before I signed up for Looper's Delight was looping itself. I didn't even know live looping existed (actually, I heard a short Amazon-preview music sample of Tim Exile doing it before I heard about the list). But I had zero plans of doing live looping when I signed up here. I signed up because looping (prerecorded, that is) is something I frequently use; song remixes, making my voice echo on a recording, etc., I never thought about live looping, until I started receiving posts. In other words, if it weren't for the guys that post here, most of the traffic on the list from me would be spent talking about Audacity, Goldwave, Fruityloops, and other generic editing software. And it still is; I just throw in a few Terry Riley-related or Per Boysen-related comments, such as "Boysen's Science and Technology Music is one of the best albums I ever heard in my life, and so is Terry Riley's Rainbow in Curved Air!" I sometimes talk about Gibson Echoplexes, Boss RC 50 and such, but I don't own any. I joined here because I consider repeated samples an essential part of much electronic music and remixes. Any electronic artist who loops is invited here. Some electronic musicians (like me in early 2004) just set their electronic keyboard to a generic "bleep, bleep" sound, and play it like a normal piano. That is the only example of non-looping electronic music I can think of. Now, I put a techno beat on my keyboard, and play along with that; I consider that looping. It might not be allowed by the y2k looping fest, but y2k isn't the only one in the world. My looper friend and I do all our looping prerecorded; so I recorded the sound of a crowd; I'll loop it in studio! So she recorded the sound of a siren at camp; she goes home, loops it, and then incorporates it into the song. We still take pride in the fact that it is a repeated sample; a loop! I mean, I love live looping as much as any of you! Otherwise I'd be sick of the links people post; I think it's fascinating that people can loop live! Wow! And Riley was doing that in the 60s? What what what? I practice live looping with some Javascript-based computer software I developed, but I'm not ready for a festival yet. I need to combine the multitracker and the looper with the synchronizer buttons, which is going to take some work. Tyler Z On Tue, 23 Oct 2012 14:02:20 -0700, Todd Elliott wrote: >I'm new as well.
