This is a great idea. If any of you want do little mini-reviews of your favorite loop-based recordings, or even just a list, go for it! Send them to me or post them and we'll put a section up on the web page for it. > >-- A companion list of prominent loop-based artists. Similar to above, >but with more emphasis on the individual's career and approach rather >than a definitive works-type of analysis. This is already a plan for the page. Unfortunately, I probably don't know enough about any one artist to do anything real interesting. Any takers? Even little bits and pieces on different loop artists would be cool. We can glue 'em all together. Another idea that's been proposed along these lines is a page about some of us ordinary folks, who do our thing in the garage most of the time. I like that grassroots approach. We can put up url's to home pages, audio clips, gear descriptions, contact info, etc. So if you want to be self-promotional and make a page for yourself, that would be great. We can get to know each other a little better that way. > >-- A FAQ for the Echoplex.

I'll do this. Its one of the main reasons I started this whole thing. I've answered just about every damn question there could be about the echoplex at least twice! :-) I know I talked to some of you out there back in my g-wiz days. I also want to do a section of my favorite echoplex techniques and tricks. Most people who own them have only touched the surface of what they are capable of. Usually a few examples of the interesting techniques possible with the deeper functions really opens the creative floodgates. > >-- An archive page on the Web site, containing sound samples (or links to >samples) by loopists, including the members of this list. (Check out the >list-member's page at Paolo Valladolid's Digital Guitar Page for an >example). I'm going to look into archiving list posts. I think the software might be able to do it automatically. The sysadmin gave me maximum permission to edit the list parameters today, so I'll be causing serious damage and hopefully fixing a few bugs in the list over the next week or so. >This should be fun -- I look forward to seeing what we can come up with. >Thanks again to Kim for getting the ball rolling! > >--Andre LaFosse Thanks for joining and making it worth the effort! kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
