Hey David,
This is Joshua (I am not sure if you
meant monk or myself since I started the thread off). Anyhow, I record the verse
or chorus (whatever I plan to solo over) as I am singing so no one notices. I
find that it is helpful this way also because the tempo changes during the song
(naturally up and down). I don’t find that recording my verse at the
beginning of the song in order to solo later works. I then have to tap the
tempo in before I solo to resample and I just can’t be bothered…
Hope that this helps…

Monk: I am also a fingerpicker and somewhat new to looping. I wonder
if you or other loopers can address this (elementary) question: you
mention that you play solo over your rhythm part "on the fly." OK, so
you lay down the rhythm part first. Does that mean that you strum and
record the rhythm part while you are singing a verse? or while someone
else is playing the melody on their instrument? If you play solo, as I do,
it would seem to be somewhat bland to the audience if all you were
playing was the rhythm back-up the first time through. This has puzzled
me since I started using my Echoplex a few months ago. Thank you for
your consideration and best wishes in your musical endeavors.

Hi Loopers…
Just
a quick question…
I
use a Digitech Jamman for my shows and I loop my rhythm parts on the fly so
that I can solo overtop during my performances.
My
question is that it seems like I can’t get the settings right for when I
play a soft song and when I play a loud song. When I am fingerpicking a song
and I record and play back the loop it comes out at the perfect level. But then
if I am strumming hard and I record and playback the loop it is too loud…
Is
there any way to adjust or fine tune this? Or maybe I have my settings wrong?
Any
help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
