Re: laptop-loopers (guitar)



Josh - I just whipped up a quick and vanilla recording of one of my 
original 
jazz tunes, called "Blue & Brown"...nothing special, and probably enough 
clams in this MP3 to feed an army, but it's a crowd pleaser at my Monday 
night jazz gig, nonetheless. :)

To avoid coloring the tone and introducing bias into the recoding, I did 
not 
run through my Boss VF-1 for this, but plugged my PRS hollow body jazz 
guitar directly into my notebook's soundcard. What you hear is the guitar, 
Voxengo Tube Amp, Chorus, Delay, and Reverb VST effects, and the Edge VST 
for the bass loop. There are three guitar parts in this recording: bass, 
guitar comping, and head/soloing.
