RE: looping tips and tricks 2001



If you want to get really swirly, put a phaser in the feedback loop.
Bring delay returns up to their own channel(s) on the desk and use the aux
sends to control feedback, then its use the desk's eq to provide filtering
as you describe. Hours of endless fun playing the desk, don't even need a
signal source...

Another suggestion.
The way I work is I 'trap' a sound for as long as I want it to run by 
having
the feedback path set at unity. This is under the control of a footpedal.
When I want to let the loop die away I ease back on the pedal according to
how slowly I want the loop to die away, (I use this method to quieten the
loop if necessary too). What I've found is that introducing a gentle low
pass filter into this loop makes the dying loop sound more natural and
de-focusses it in terms of the listener's attention. An interesting effect
is to place a high pass filter in the feedback path so the sound kind of
fizzles out - good for spacey stuff : )
