looping and how it is overrated :-)

(I'm having probs with my mail client - appoligies if this comes through 
twice to the list - but I think the old one got lost, and I really want 
to get my point across)

:) Thats fair enough... that is how you use loops. However, for me, the 
whole of my performance is based around the looping technology. Without 
the live looping, my project  and my music would not exist.

You say that loops fall into the same section as reverb and echoes. 
Again, its how you use them that determines how rated or overrated you 
deem them to be. I have actually performed an hour concert using just a 
single repetition tap-tempo delay - playing Vivaldi and Bach type duets 
with myself.

So, I agree wholeheartedly with your views, as they are your views, from 
your viewpoint. However, I am glad to see that you accept other people's 
views who might be looking in completely the opposite direction :)
