Re: looping with a mic

yes ii used to mic my looping set up. it was a nightmare! especially in 
live
situations. gates help, you cant get around direct somehow. i have built a
nifty routing system that pulls up to 12 channels into my boomerang+. let 
me
know if this interests you or anyone else.

peace
