Re: surround looping
i think it must be akin to those heavy metal guitarists who use
20 marshall cabinets (granted i've heard that a lot of times only
one is plugged in) on stage. more is more. does sound a little
teeth rattling, doesn't it? i'd definitely check it out, with ear plugs
of course... (not that they would do any good with those sub-subs...)
cheers
