I wouldn't suggest that. There are a lot of people using looping devices as a part of their dj approach, and that's certainly appropriate for this forum. A lot of dj techniques involve repetition of phrases and manipulation of those, which to me is just another form of this looping idea. A lot can be learned by sharing these different approaches and adapting them in different places. A key thing, too, is that dj'ing is a very live and real-time thing, which is most of what we talk about here. There's certainly a lot of common ground between that and what a lot of other people around here are doing. And a lot of dj's are also producers, where they also make heavy use of various looping approaches. while there are obviously a lot of guitar oriented people around interested in real time looping, that's definitely not everyone who is here, and definitely not all there is about looping. (even though some of them don't seem to be aware of it, which can be frustrating...) Some of us here are very interested in electronic dance music, and are heavily influenced by various dj's and producers we've listened to, and that's why we started exploring these ideas in our music. Personally, I would far rather be talking about dj related loop ideas than tube amps! This whole looping idea is really quite new, and people are experimenting with it in a huge array of contexts. Part of the point of Looper's Delight is to provide a forum for developing these new ideas and sharing info about loops and looping, where ever it may come from. That's why I created it. There is no intended preference or bias for guitar players over dj's, or anything else. Anybody interested in creating and manipulating loops in real-time is welcome to discuss their ideas here. All I ask is that respect be shown for the differences, and that we avoid any lame insults or exclusionary activities, and instead try to learn from each other. so anyway, feel free to speak up more about these subjects, there are plenty around who would be happy to join in. 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
