Re: EDP in software?

["Dj Devious D" <dj_devious_d@hotmail.com>]

Well Dave, you are asking something momumental, yet simple. I have been 
"software" looping for the past 3 years, and I have not found anything 
that 
will "interactively" record and loop at the same time.
Sure there is Cool Edit Pro, ACID and ReLoop, but these software titles 
are 
either "half way" there or not "quite" what you are looking for. Most of 
those apps will play "loops" that are pre-recorded, and trimmed up. In 
addition, they can't be "triggered" in the normal sense. The closest to 
your 
request IMHO, is PCDj Red. Hooked to the Numark DMC 1, this is a good 
looper, of sorts. But, again, the loops must be pre-recorded.
ReLooper, will play a myriad of your "pre-recorded" loops, but this must 
be 
"mouse" operated.
Maybe you have given me a "software" project to develop ?!?
Ok, all you C++, and Visual Basic folks, can ya think of anything, or even 
come up with a design that would facilitate this new "software" looper ?

Anyone know of software that works kind of like an EDP?  I'm basically
looking for something where I can push a button (preferable a footswitch) 
to
start recording, and press a button to stop recording and loop.  I'd also
like to be able to overdub.  I'm interested in software for the PC (not
necessarily windows).  Mac might be interesting too as a reference (I don't
own a Mac).

I want to avoid the push a button to record, push a button to stop, set 
loop
area, repeat cycle I get with Sonic Foundry and Cakewalk products.

I've searched through Altavista and Yahoo, and I find lots of references to
CDLooper, the band Looper, and various people who's last name is Looper.  I
checked through the mailing list archives, and the software references 
there
seem to be to updates for the EDP, and commentary on the mailing list
software.

Alternatively, can anyone suggest other terms to look for this by.  What do
these things get called besides 'loopers'

thanks
