Re: trying to find the right looping tool
Bryan,
If you are using your guitar port with a PC, you might consider a software
looper. Since you are already using a computer, it wouldn't add any more
equipment or expense to your set up. I like Elottronix XL, which is a VST
plug in modeled after Robert Fripp's old tape set-up:

You'll need some sort of VST host program to use it. I've had good luck
with both Audiomulch and EnergyXT.
Ambiloop is a stand alone app that also has a good reputation.
Since Elottronix and Ambiloop are freeware, you won't lose anything by
giving them a try. Another nice thing about software loopers is that it's
straightforward to keep them in sync with a drum machine or sequencer.

I am new to the list and I am trying to figure out which looping device to
buy. I am mainly a guitarist. I have been playing witht the digital
delay in my guitarport which has a couple of seconds of delay and which
gets dense very quickly.
My main reference for looping is Robert Fripps Frippertronics. I would
like to be able to have a looper that will basically do what Fripps
equipment did.....loop things so I can play against them and build layers.
I am thinking that a unit like the line 6 unit, boomerang, or Boss loop
station should do this nicely but I am not completely sure.
I also noticed in an ad in Guitarworld that Akai has released a new
version of the Headrush.....it is E2 rather than E1. Does anyone know
anything about this unit.
I will be using the unit with a guitar port. This has no effects loop so
I am wondering one should put the loop unit ahead of the guitarport or
after it.
If anyone can shed light on these issues I would be greatly appreciative.
Bryan
