Re: Is using Pre-Recorded Loops Cheating?
live looping and pre records are 2 different things.
live looping by definition doesn't include pre-recorded material.
That's the whole point.
on pre-recorded material:
a lot of big acts use re records to fatten their sound.
when I worked with nine inch nails they had me sing 10 doubles of
myself that got played back with the band.
the drummer was playing to a click that sped up and slowed down. wild
controlled chaos stuff... to great effect because Trent knows how to
do it.
personally, I don't judge how people make music, I judge the music
itself.
if the pre recorded material helps the performance be more amazing
and appropriate to the music, then it's GREAT.
