Re: Quick Looperlative question
Mech, thanks very much.
Needing to sift through the forum archives like that is a bit
tedious, to say the least, when all one needs is a list, but I know
you obviously didn't create that situation; :) and again, I surely,
very much appreciate the link pointing me in the right direction! You
ROCK!…
Out of curiosity, which pitch shifter are you using? I'm using a
Digitech Studio Vocalist EX for pitch / timbre effects at the moment,
with my EDP.
Thanks very much for the response and hope you had a great weekend!…
Smiles,
Cara :)
