Re: DL4 comments
I understand some of the issues loopers have with the wet/dry mix, but I
would think feedback regeneration is a more critical function. At least it
is for me. When in Loop/Sample mode, the Tweak (or is it Tweeze?) knobs
function as modulation for the pre-loop echo. I'd much rather see this
converted to a feedback control for the sample. Sometimes I like to have
my
loops fade rather quickly so I can constantly change their content. With
the DL4's current setup, I have to live with the 95% or so regeneration
setting when in Overdub mode. I'd prefer to use the Tweeze and dial in
0-100% regen. wether in Play or Overdub.
Wet/Dry suggestion: I'm using the expression pedal to control the Mix.
With this I can create loops that nobody hears until I turn the pedal up --
of course, they do hear the source as I play it. Even if it doesn't solve
most of your wet/dry issues, it might be a technique you can leverage for
something else.
Interesting studio re-arrangement yesterday:
Pre DL4 setup:
==========
Strat1/Strat2 ->
Gr-30 -> Mackie 1202
Gr-30 -> volume pedal -> Boss Gx-700 Loop out -> POD -> Boss Gx-700
Loop
in
Gr-30 -> Korg workstation -> Mackie
Mackie Aux 1 -> EDP -> Mackie Aux 1 return -> Amp/PC
Also: cables, expression pedals, midi pedal board, and power cords strewn
about the place
Current Setup:
=========
Strat1/Strat2 -> Volume Pedal -> POD -> DL4 -> Amp.
2 power cords, 4 guitar cords, 1 expression pedal.
All of a sudden I feel I can turn around without tripping over something!
My looping hasn't suffered at all. Yes, I'm missing a few sounds and some
flexibility, but I'll leave it this way for awhile. I feel suprisingly
free. This might harken back to the discussion on technology as a
restricting or expanding force in terms of creativity.
Nice change of pace.
