Re: RC-50 video on summer NAMM
Agreed, Rick. I am finding that there is a separate breed of
commercial/pop
music loopers developing on the side, some of which are working in a
vacuum.
We need to know each other, our community, and our history...especially to
prevent re-inventing the wheel, claiming to invent the wheel, or repeating
past mistakes. Community is powerful.
What would be sad and unfortunate is if the world developed a "class" of
loopers that gain enough popularity in the public eye that they forget
their
roots and feel they don't have to talk us anymore. And in this light, I
would like to see more famous loopers posting on this list, rather than
the
occasional "popping in".
