Re:the forefront of loopmuse's setup

[ZeplinSoup@aol.com]

dont know the name of who it is,but I can describe a few things about 
perhaps
how or why it is on the forefront.whoever it is (Beavis?) this is how I
envision their setup which makes them forefront:
all instruments run through a computer running something similar to 
wavelab1.6
which has a "live input" feature.I always wonder why no one talks about it
BTW.what you can do with it is use various direct x plugins -as many as 
your
comp can handle-to treat your instrument inputs in 24-bit quality in real 
time
and then use the outputs from the computer to feed your amps,jammies,and
plexes-with the audiomedia III in NT have 24bit output--woohoo!(or whatever
the current mac standards are now...or is there a standard for mac?(sigh).
+ midi control is available for some of these plugins-in particular the 
+dsp-fx
plugins which are supposed to sound better than anything including
lexicon.with a midi fader box all parameters can be controlled for
wildness.perhaps the looper on the front of fore will also be making his 
own
sounds via physical modeling,perhaps with software help by the likes of
Reality and virtual waves.these sounds i imagine people have never heard
before.perhaps he is triggering these sounds from his guitar equipted with 
a
midi converter and builds loop textures with these wild tones + .I could 
go on
but I belive the forefront includes the new music technological 
breakthgoughs
to startling degrees....
