Hi folks, I follow several lists, and so that's probably why I missed this post a year and a half ago. Yes! Blind people can live loop I happen to be blind, and am a live looper. I met Cara a few years ago and she incouraged me to try it. It was something that I had immagined theoretically for a long time, but she sortof introduced me to it in a real sense, at least verbally. I am currently a "light looper" :) which basically means that I lay down one loop, usually guitar, or guitar body percussion, overdubbing to create a fuller track to sing over. I have a gateway looper, a Boss rc20XL. I wanted to start inexpensively. I haven't found it extremely necessary to see the pedal. There have been times when the looper has done something strange which surprised me when I heard it, but generally it records and loops just fine. I fully intend to move up in to a roomier looper soonish. So, tylor, if you ahven't tried it, you should! For what it's worth, make sure you get a looper which doesn't even have much of a screen. The bigger boss loopers like the rc 50 and larger have an actual display on them, and I imagine that this would make it nearly impossible to use the more advanced features, which means you've wasted money on advance options. I'm considering a boomerang III or setting up a software setup such as Mobius or maybe sooperlooper. So, yes, blind people can and do live loop once or twice most weekends here in Southern California. :-) Rusty On 8/1/12, Ed Durbrow <edurbrow@sea.plala.or.jp> wrote: > This is soooooo what I want to do.
