The first video is a style I personally don't care much for (I listened to some of his other clips). A style where looping is a one man band trick, in these cases I prefer a band :-) The second video I really enjoy, it sounds like LoopMusic not like a one man band. I almost feel that Boss is sort of bad for loop music since they designed the pedals mainly for practice and one man band style stuff. I much prefer improvised live looping... > > i also cant help to think by seeing this video that this will not be so impressive a few years from now > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4QSYVUWc2Y > > thats why i love live looping that is more hidden or subtle,where you cannot tell what parts are being played ,the sound on sound type. > Then again it depends how is done,here is a guy that does it sequence style and i find it awesome: > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiwPjKMEzTg&feature=channel_page > > Luis > > > > > > www.myspace.com/luisangulocom > > > --- On Wed, 2/4/09, kkissinger@kevinkissinger.com <kkissinger@kevinkissinger.com> wrote: > > > From: kkissinger@kevinkissinger.com <kkissinger@kevinkissinger.com> > > Subject: Re: loopers hard talk questions and answers > > To: "Loopers Delight" <loopers-delight@loopers-delight.com> > > Date: Wednesday, February 4, 2009, 6:40 AM > > Quoting "L.Angulo" <labaloops@yahoo.com>: > > > > > > 1.
