Re: Looping Laptops in general (WAS Products, Services, and Looping Gear "Packages")
I think the stress of my system crashing at gig or on the road would be so
psychological disruptive to my creative process that I would likely just
seek out a nearest music store, buy a Boss RC20 or Jamman, and just go
back
to basics...call it my looping version of the Derek Bailey approach! I
can
barely get in the right state of mind for a performance when minor stuff
happens like one of my stereo channels is not coming through and I have to
troubleshoot my chords...another reason why I am happy to ditch the rack.
I
have a very fragile psyche when it comes to experiencing technical
difficulties shortly before a gig.
